I could hook yoou eople up with all those interior peices and all ive got like a garage full of parts ive found and changed out ive got the burgundy leather seats no tears and like 8 or 9 of thoe leather rollers for the back. and i got the mk3 1986.5 wSR-Type corner window scoops and Rallycross Light nose piece (EXTREMELY RARE). but i got like 2 or 3of every part. they just take up space i throw away broke parts so every part is great condition. its like 20K in parts

[gottagetasupra]

Was the swap hard?

[clonetroper56]

[CrazyForCooCooPuffs]

[clonetroper56]

[K3000GTK]

You should be director because you really did save the BEST FOR LAST

....that engine is like talking to nard until you see the perfect 10 blonde that calls that nard a husband....lol I would have picked a race with you anytime but than the came opened....wow..

[Minotauro0729]

First generation 1jz gte 2.5 TWIN TURBO But most people will eventually go single after the twins just can't produce the kind of boost this engine can handle (up to 29lbs + ) the last generation is single turbo 1jz gte vvt I

[ksaki636r04]

the 1jz motors did not come stock with a twin turbo.... they are single turbo motors!!!

[BassDrop9494]

I was saying to myself "This is disgusting" and then you popped the hood..... yum

[Twom44]

was anybody else as surprised as me when he popped the hood? lol

[manuelrubalpsy64]

@alexschu1245 Hey I have an '87 too, but it's the non-turbo model. Yet it has the sensors, gauges, and whatnot for the turbo. Is that normal?

[rs200000000000]

at least your engine bay looks good

[kenoske]

beautiful... 

[ISeanzyyyI]

do you live in phoenix? I swear I saw this one on craigslist for like 4k and the owner said he sold it for like 3800 and i told him that was a steal of a price lol

[xr200r2002]

wat did it run in the 1/4 on stock im in the process of buying one my self (my dream car :) ) but yeah i was just curious

[suppratwin]

real sleeper

[corkbake]

i was like this car is meh. then he poped the hood

[wa11pon33]

if i bought this id deffinetly do tons of exterior work but the engine makes it worth it so props man

[graywolf1985supra]

were did u get that carbonfiber box man

[alexschu1245]

@graywolf1985supra

Ebay :) Around $200

[hondazchatch]

@alexschu1245 what did it take to swap the motor i know the front frame is difrent then the 90s mkiii

[kamikaze69100]

@alexschu1245 i did not expect that when u popped that hood! very nice bro... good work

[KeiKorono88]

dude why did you let it go..??? your engine was like sex with a car. it was like... niiiice dude... for shame....i would have loved to meet you.... i'll have mine by the end of the year... i need to know where n how to get the parts... 1JZ-GTE... TT, no variable valve timing...

[alexschu1245]

@KeiKorono88

Eh had to let it go thanks to the economy. And I also ended up getting a Z28 Camaro which I actually enjoy more. It was a super fun project watching it grow and develop though. I can say one thing for sure.... Supras cost lots of money! Hope to see some videos of yours when you get it. I got alot of my parts from ebay. You would be suprised what they have on there. Just about everything for the 1JZ. Other than that I got lucky to have a pretty complete engine when I got it

[ph03nYx69]

damn bro you wouldve gotten me with this. your car is the def of a sleeper. great job on the engine its clean as hell.... hows the 1jz holdin up with you??? no major prob??? and how much did it cost you to swap bc im plannin to do it on mine asap

[alexschu1245]

@ph03nYx69

Hey man 1JZ has been probably the most durable engine I have ever owned in my life. I am telling you the truth when I say that I BEAT THAT THING UP every single day and it would take it like a champ! Its like the superman of engines. Swap was about $2800 with install, but I put another $1000 or so into the stuff around the engine. Totally worth it :) Make sure if you do get the swap done, have the wiring harness extra long so you can have A/C without issues

[ph03nYx69]

@alexschu1245

alright bro thats good to hear and thanks for the tip on that. now the only thing i have to do is find an actual decent shop that can do a clean swap

[WestLosHomiez]

NO NO NO... 1JZGTTE. :] oH & could you do a video of the targa top holder in the back? i just got one & i see the pieces all mangled & damaged & i have no idea how it works or where they are suppose to be

[alexschu1245]

@WestLosHomiez

Hey sorry man I sold it. My holder was all kinda of messed up so I ended up cutting out the old plastic surrounding and removing those flimsy bullcrap metal pieces. This way the original holder pieces were still there and could hold the Targa top. Let me know how it goes for you!

[WestLosHomiez]

@alexschu1245 Thats exactly what i did. I figured out the black pieces & i found 4 bolts & right now i tried it out & i discovered the purpose! the Targa top sits perfectly in the back now. But it is all scratched up from the paint because im guessin the previous owner would drive it topless & just throw stuff on top of the targa top. Well thanks any how! I will probably make a vid of the Targa when i get a camera lol.

[FidelityGaming23]

@WestLosHomiez It's not GTTE. The actual engine code is GTE.

[Bodiddy49]

where do u get your parts cuz i just got a 87 supra as well and i cant find interior parts for it.....i need a new dash cuz its been tore up from weather cuz it hot as hell here?

[alexschu1245]

@Bodiddy49

Totally hard to find good interior parts. I got most of mine off Ebay (the ones' I replaced) or doing some serious scowering at the junkyards. Or you could take your dash to a custom fabrication shop and they could make it like new and even change the color! Good luck with your project! Supra's rock

[NaPalm625]

very nice its a sleeper car! it looks a bit worn down on the outside but the engine is all shiny and clean

[alexschu1245]

@NaPalm625

Thanks! I was happy with the fact that it was such a sleeper! People had no idea what was under the hood. I was going to put money into the engine and chassis before loading up the interior and finishing it. I hate having a really nice LOOKING car that is going to fall apart. Wish I could have finished this project. Hopefully the guy that bought it will take it where I wanted to go

[mrgamer1977]

i was thinking another crapy car video but then you lifted the hood and wow thought differently then nice motor not much of a supra prson im a mustang man but love the way that motor looks :)

[alexschu1245]

@mrgamer1977

Hey thanks man it means alot. I spent quite some time making that thing all nice. Now I have a Camaro haha

[Tennessee623]

I would have bought this car if you would have sold it for 3200... damn

[alexschu1245]

@Tennessee623

Aww that stink! It sold for 4,000. Hopefully the buyer does not fall through, but if he does I will let you know! Thanks for the favorite!

[alexschu1245]

@alexschu1245

Haha yup it sold, and the new owner loves it! I hope he continues the work so he will do the car proud, otherwise I will have to go beat him up lol!

[donkeykong132]

lol just say the car needs a paint job instead of all the stuff that needs to be painted

[alexschu1245]

Clicking sound is the camera adjusting, sorry about that
