{Hey guys, after the second attempt to register i have been successful

Ok i do not own a Soarer but have always loved them and just could not afford a manual version.

So my other favourite car is the BMW E30 (83-91) simply for the shape and feel of its drive.

Wanting power i chose a 1JZ out of a 95 Soarer.

It took a while and a little bit of work to get it in but it worked.

Drove around for 3 months with the only mods a 3" turbo back and a 600x300x76 fmic.

Loved the look on faces of people surprised when a 318i badge flies past them or they line me up at the lights which reminds me, who owns a black Soarer with 19" chrome wheels in the St.George area?

I raced this bloke down near Newtown?

Anyway i have taken enough time and space on this thread but the car has been in the workshop for 7 weeks now and is almost finished (Waiting on Cihan's goodies) with the new set up :

- 320mm VE SS brakes cross drilled/slotted and VE SS twin pot callipers.
- 3.5inch dump into 3 inch mandrell bent exhaust.
- Garrett GT3540R with a 0.63 rear for quicker spool and better lower end.
- Custom manifold.
- Sard 800CC injectors.
- GReddy Emanage Ultimate ECU.
- GReddy cam gears.
- GReddy 3 Bar MAP sensor.
- 600x300x76 FMIC.
- Turbosmart 48mm ProGate wastegate with screamer vented into atmo.
- GReddy oil catch.
- Walbro internal fual pump.
- Bosch 044.
- HPI triple stage electronic boost controller.
- GReddy FATT turbo timer.
- 2JZGTE water pump.
- Gates timing belt.
- GFB Stealth BOV (adj between atmo and recirculating).
- Brand new harmonic balancer.
- New silicone hoses and v-clamps.

I am sure i have missed out on a few things but will let you know once i remember.

Cant wait for this thing to finish its light 1250kg and has balls.

The pics are quite large so i will upload them to tinypic 1st and add the url.

Love the site and all the info keep it coming.}

Thanks guys.

Will get pics up asap.

Mustafa the harmonic balancer cost me just under $400 from toyota.

But that was after stupid me bought a second hand one and it exploded ruining my radiator, smashing my altornator and damaging the oil cooler.

Buy a new one its worth it.

Hey Francisco,

Yeah it is an unusual set up but the japs and germans seem to make a great couple.

My mate also has a very similar setup in his E30 BMW but he opt for the VVT-i version.

He has the GT3040r and at 120kmh when he taps it the thing cant stop burning the rubber nor keep straight.

I have plenty of pics of both and some videos too.

I am a night shifter and my net at home is blocked for excessive downloads of erm amm lets just say video clips.

I will upload them asap as work blocks large uploads for security crap.

Shouldn't be too much longer.

p.s

I have pics of it before i started with the above bolt ons on another site but unsure if i am allowed to link it here?

ok its been a while but finally the mods have come together.

No figures just yet because the wiring harness i got was for a different ECU.

So until then the car is stationary.

Enjoy the pics...
