hey, thought id stop and make an official introduction thread. names bryan, i live in maryland and owned hondas all my life haha. i recently traded straight up for a 1992 sc300 with a 1jzgte auto. its sitting on brand new stance coilovers (absolutely love them) rolling on brand new bbs replicas and new tires. oh and it has a sc400 oe lip.

currently future mods are a boost controller, turbo timer, fmic, bov, exhaust, manual swap, and headwork (shooting for 400s)

heres a few pictures..





my old 1997 civic with a gsr swap, sir bumpers, a/c, p/s.. and alot of other really rare parts:

Welcome...Good job on dumping the Honda.

 

very nice whoa 1j looks so nice congrats.

 

no Honda pics, please! j/k..

nice pickup on the 1jz SC. now put some Spacers on all four corners of that bytch for proper stance!


welcome.

 

Man, that's a well put together civic bro. Loving the siR conversion. Looks like a fair trade. Good luck with the SC!

 

sweet sc man. you gonna go single exit exhaust or keep the dual? or what is it currently?

edit: if you go single exit...what side you gonna do?

 

thanks, yeah the civic was really fun. but i got to the point of boosting, and its just to much work and money to make the same power as a stock 1jz. i just couldnt justify spending money on a turbo kit, or building one to make decent power.. yet it wouldnt be NEARLY as reliable as the 1jz engine.

as for single or twin turbos. i havnt decided. i would like to go single, but i dont think itd be good for a daily. sure i know people daily them, but this is my only car right now.*going to buy a jeep for winter* im reallly tempted to get gt28 twins though.

edit: oh and i have a fogs.. but i dont know how to turn them on, and there not hooked to the turn signals.

 

oh lord this gonna turn into a post pics of your old Honda thread

 

^^^lolzz i see that coming also.

 

i was talking about the exhaust..not the turbo. you gonna go single exit? if so what side you gonna choose?

 

my bad. prolly single it, 4 inch, passenger side. right now its dual but one of the mufflers is in the trunk? idk why, dont ask i just gota put it back on, the guy said he was goin to paint it




hahah. i should post before / after pics of my car.. it went from 100 percent stock, to rice, to wrecked *deer* to mAd JdM TyTE lol..

but back to point i figured out my heat problem!!



im missing the vacuum line that goes to the vsv. any ideas on how to render my problem? and where should this vacuum come from?

i noticed an empty bung or w/e on the charcol canister.. is it supposed to go to that?

i found that link, where is it on the 1jzgte though? i have exactly the same problem as the last picture on the page

 

Ahhh No it wont.

 

nice pick up! paint the lip

 

Nice SC! Welcome to the SC world

 

yeah, im taking the lip off for winter, then im going to lightly sand it and get all the deformations out due to the road and rocks, then paint it either black or same as the car.

and thanks guys! i feel welcome already hah
