Sorry Alan, didn't see this question. I would assume they are but i put 50w HID's in them as well so they will obviously be a lot brighter. Be carefull since the cutoff from the ebay ones is meant for countries that drive on the right lane of the road. |

Lets see, 10years of ownership, 3 paint jobs, 2 sets of tires and rims, re tint, new leather, new audio system, and I've replaced everything so far EXCEPT the block. I even had to replace the gas tank b/c the stereo installers srewed holes through it installing my amp, idiots! If I would guess, including the cost, about $40,000. Moan |

| Holy Bejesus Richard! That turbo looks huge! Why did you opt for the 1J instead of the 2J though? Also - your engine looks like it's been pushed back. What's the go with that? |

| The engine is in stock location, just with the electric fan it puts nearly a foot between the front of the engine and the radiator. I'm actually going back to the mechanical fan, it works better in this FL heat and traffic with the AC blasting. I opted for the 1J just due to the fact it has alot more useable power then the 2J. Both spool a turbo at around 4500 (a good size one), and the 1J pulls power to 10k, while a 2j hits a brick wall at 8500 or so. Here in FL we have several street driven 800-1000whp 2.5 liter 1JZ's that are completely unstopable by anything with 2 or 4 wheels. At the world famous Titan Motorsports Supra meet a few months ago, what engine put down the highest HP on the dyno during the meet? A 2.5 liter 1JZ of course. He drove 3hrs to the meet, put down 850whp on medium boost, and drove it home. If he wasn't scared of breaking it so he could drive home, he's done over 1000whp with no laughing gas. You just can't be scared to run a big turbo. Mine is only 65mm, and I'm upgrading to a 74mm. I want to make 550whp (410kw) and run 10sec 1/4mi times on pump gas, which is 93 octane here for high test. With a good stall in the auto, that goal is highly obtainable, and I wouldn't be the first. |

| How much is a electric fan? Is there much more performance gain with the electric fan compaired to the mechanical fan? |
