These are very nice cars. Made from 1986.5 - 1993. There was an update to these models I'm not exactly sure when but it is around the 87-89 year. There is a few different models:

GA70 - 1GGTE engine. 2.0L, twin turbocharged, DOHC~210ps

MA70 - 7MGTE engine. 3.0L, single turbocharged, DOHC~230ps

JZA70 - 1JGTE engine. 2.5L twin trubocharged, DOHC~280ps

The 7MGTE engine is really a strong engine. All you will have to do is get a metal headgasket, and new head bolts and torque it down, some people tend to torque it down a little more than the specified torque. The factory torque rating was pretty shitty.

The 1GGTE engine, I had a mate who owned one of these and these are nice engines also. His was fitted with FMIC, Exhaust and a bit of boost and made 170RWHP. Internally these engines are really strong and will shine with a big single on it. There is also three different versions of this engine, the GEN 1 came with a water to air intercooler. GEN 2 ran more boost and an air to air intercooler. The GEN 3 engine ran more boost again and a more agressive tune, also an air to air intercooler.

The 1JZGTE engine, well these engines just have a reputation for themselves. I myself have owned two 1JZ powered vehicles. A JZA70 R and a soarer. The JZA70 R is the lightest of the supra's weghing in at 1550kg. There is other models which will weigh up to 1700kg with seat warmers, fully electric seat and stuff like that. The R supra came with bilstein shocks, momo steering wheel and knob, and also recaro seats as standard. I was very happy with my JZA70 R, it was drifted and held up to everything I could throw at it. The suspension was a bit soft for drift but as an everyday car it will be fine.

I hope this helps.

      We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
