1989 Twin Turbo 1JZ-GTE Toyota Supra
The paint is 100% custom. No color code, it has some crazy pearl in it so in different light it kinda almost has a real deep olive green to it, which SOUNDS bad but looks REALLY good.
I call the color Stephanite Pearl Metallic (Stephanite is a mineral that i thought looked pretty close)
My new XXR 502's above along with smoked tails/markers.
MORE PICS OF NEW PAINT/WORK ON PAGE 2.
Swapped NA 7MGE to 1jz (76913km/47791 miles)
7 Color LED's replaced the old neon
The above pic is with the old paint and decals (high school phase) which of course i stripped down and left clean. those tiny rims (Superior 16"s) are currently my winter wheels with snow tires which lowers it even further basically making it a snow plow haha.
A-pilar and gauges
The 1JZ just before I put it in and the donor clip and old motor/tranny.
ABOUT THE CLIP
Full front clip RHD 1JZ Twin Turbo 5 Speed. The clip came with full dash with gauge cluster mine=47791 miles).
Some benifits of the 1jzgte
-IC pipe routing and intake manifold design are improved, this was built as a turbo engine from the ground up.
-Uses a MAP sensor based air/fuel setup
-7000 RPM redline, 7200 rev limit
-Stock turbos have little to no lag, very smooth powerband
-Headgasket and all other gaskets are metal
-Headwork was improved
-Uses seperate coil packs for each plug, no plug wires.
-There are many other things I cannot confirm, rumored to have forged pistons stock, ECU is supposed to be far superior.
-These engines can handle 500hp with all STOCK internals.
