Default Ceramic Blades FTL....Single FTW.......

Well finally went single on the 1JZ, I have Drewgo Manifold, PT 61 w/.68 a/r, Tial 44mm WG, Custom DP, Custom 3" Catback....I still have to polish the intake mani, throttle body waterneck and cold side piping and steam clean the rest of the motor. The 1J Ecu is cutting boost at 15psi I will get that taken care of this week hopefully drop in 440's and do a mild tune via safcII. Car pulls very strong up until boost cut ha ha. Special thanks to the VIP Garage crew for taking care of me took a little longer than planned but it was worth the wait . Next mods will be install lsd and R154 then bigger injectors etc.......










I turn my back for one second and look what my Supra Buddy does.......


Here's a video of same supra guy above doing a flyby. Camera is in my car.

It's under the intake pipe I cut a hole in body behind passenger headlight and it goes right down through there. I could have went through the sides but I rather less bends and less piping.

Gorgeous car, nice setup.

You mean its cutting fuel at 15lbs...a FCD would be nice though.

Depending on how large your wastegate is, you shouldn't be creeping up to fuel cut if you're set low enough. I'd set it at 10, and relax until you can put a Haltech in there.

Thanks. I have a Greddy BCC to install. I'm just waiting on my path harness to get in. I could just put a smaller spring in the gate but my harness is already on the way.
