  1. How much and where from then mate? Is it a cat back system? No baffles then??
  2. Not really worth it mate. I did this on my N/A Supra but rather than messing about with bypass pipes etc. I blocked the pipework off at the front and rear of the block - had no problems at all (cost me the price of a couple of old bolts which I used to block the cut off pipes with). As to HP increase - maybe a fraction since the intake air isn't being warmed up by the hot air but TBH I doubt it'd make much real difference on it's own - maybe with a few other mods such as a decent cold air feed to the filter etc.
  3. PM sent - hoping to have sold my car within a week or so so I'll be looking to buy very soon now :) :)
  4. Jeff, When are you planning on putting this up for sale? I might well be interested if the timing's right:). Also, is it a MK1 or MK2 (square headlamps or round ones?)
  5. You can clean the O2 sensors by leaving them in lemon juice overnight - made quite a difference to my Supra when I tried it:)
  6. Yeah, I know. I nearly had one (one been in Autotrader for a while) but the guy ended up selling it to his daughter. Currently there is one on Autotrader which is well out of my price bracket and already modded (I'd want a stock mk1 to play with) I can pick up a GS300 at a reasonable price and then mod it myself hopefully.
  7. Try the MKiv Supra OC ( http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/ ) they come up for sale fairly often :)
  8. Hi, Does anyone know if the Powerhouse Racing turbo kit (this one - http://www.powerhouseracing.com/files/cata...rbo%20Upgrades) works OK on a Mk1 GS300? I know they're designed for the Supra N/A and was wondering if it'd be ok on a Lex (worried about the AFM on the Lexus). Any input appreciated :)
  9. Physically it will fit no problem. But you would also to swap the ECUs, the gearbox and the exhaust! There is no way you could convert the 2JZ lump to run the TT sequential turbo set-up as the internals are somewhat different (no oil spray bars on the piston undersides etc.). A better, cheaper bet would be a N/A-T conversion, fitting a single turbo and fuel ecu, bigger injectors (440cc) and a head gasket would see a healthy rise inpower, retain off-boost torque and be cheaper and easier than a full TT engine/gearbox swap :)
