1990 Toyota Supra Turbo 1jz-gte, Single Turbo, R154, Targa, Clean Title on 2040-cars
Clarksville, Tennessee, United States
For sale is a 1990 Toyota Supra, factory turbo model, targa, OEM silver paint (paint code 176), clean TN title in hand, no liens, no known history of accidents, 197,000 miles on chassis, roughly 70,000 miles on motor and trans. The car received a 1JZ-GTE swap (Non VVTI) in late 2007 by a performance shop in California. The car was also re-sprayed in the OEM color around the same time. The car has had the same owner for the past 6+ years (was purchased while the car was being swapped with 1JZ), and has been driven almost 20,000 miles since receiving the 1JZ swap. The car has only been used in the past six years as a warm weather car, and has been kept at home during the Winter months (usually from late November to early March. The car is only being sold due to a lack of interest and space.
The head-gasket was replaced with a new factory head-gasket, ARP head studs, and the head was machined slightly as part of preventive maintenance by a performance shop Texas in June of 2008. The original OEM head gasket was in perfect shape, and the car has no overheated since having the 1JZ swap. The car received a single turbo in 2009 as result from the rear turbo having a blown seals (a common problem for CT12s). In 2011 the car received a T4 turbo setup, and the Drift Motion 57trim was added in 2012 to give the car a balanced power-band. Some of the invoices for parts and labor will be included, this includes the head-work from Del's Performance in 2008. The car currently runs extremely well, with no mechanical problems except for needing a alignment, which the car will receive before being sold. The engine is healthy, no leaks, no smoke, has a broad power-band, and performs well under boost. The car typically has positive pressure around 2500 RPM, and reaches full around 4000 RPM. The exhaust is custom 3 inch, and is relatively quiet; it can barely be heard outside of the cabin while driving. In June of 2012 the made 354 whp, 330 torque at 16 pounds on a Dyno Dynamics, which typically reads 15% lower than a Dyno Jet. The only major change since being on the dyno is replacing the Tial with a generic 46mm waste-gate. The transmission has no grinds, shifts well in every gear, and is showing no signs of fatigue. The clutch works well, and holds the power with no problems. Overall, the car still has plenty of untapped potential it could reach by adding only a few modifications such as; 550cc injectors, USDM 2JZ cams or Brain Crower cams, and possibly a stand alone EMS. Aesthetically, the car could use a good quality respray. The resprayed paint overall looks ok at best. The exterior and interior look good for the age of the car, but the car has several smaller dents, the dash has a crack, the carpet has significant wear, and the steering wheel has aged. The currently has a black dash pad, and a better looking steering wheel will be included. There is no rust (SoCal car) and no body damage. The cost of parts to convert a MA70 to a 1JZ using a single turbo will typically cost an average of $7,000 or more in parts. This is not even factoring the cost of a shell or the necessary supporting modifications. It is also rare for a 1JZ swapped MA70 to be sold on eBay. Feel free to ask questions related to the car's condition. Thanks for looking.

Former NHTSA chief may lead automaker-backed Takata investigation
Fri, Feb 6 2015An automaker-led effort may see the former head of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration take on the probe into the Takata airbag inflator disaster. A coalition of at least ten automakers is in talks with former NHTSA administrator David Kelly, with unnamed sources familiar with the discussions telling The Wall Street Journal he is "among those we are considering to coordinate" the investigation.The Detroit News, meanwhile, is reporting he could be hired "in the coming days." Takata, the Japanese seatbelt and airbag manufacturer, has been the center of a defect scandal since last year. Takata is under fire for air bag inflators that can explode, shooting out metal and plastic pieces. At least five deaths and dozens of injuries have been linked to the problem worldwide. Earlier this year, Honda Motor Co., the automaker with the biggest exposure to the defective Takata air bags, was fined $70 million in the U.S. for not reporting to regulators some 1,729 complaints that its vehicles caused deaths and injuries, and for not reporting warranty claims. It was the largest civil penalty levied against an automaker. Should he take the role, Kelly would be at the fore of an investigation being assembled by an alliance of ten automakers, which includes the Detroit Three and Honda. Toyota first suggested a joint investigation back in December, The Journal reports. Kelly's goals, meanwhile, will be many. The Detroit News reports that questions abound regarding not only the recalled airbag inflators and the conditions that cause them to fail, but the whether the replacement units will have similar problems in the future. The automaker committee is far from the only one analyzing the airbag issue. Takata has assembled its own panel, led by former Secretary of Transportation Samuel Skinner, while NHTSA's deputy administrator, David Friedman, has brought in an outside engineering firm to investigate the inflators, The Detroit News reports. Separately, on Friday Takata Corp., the Japanese seatbelt and air-bag maker at the center of a defect scandal, is expecting more red ink for the fiscal year through March. It is projecting a 31 billion yen ($264 million) loss, worse than the previous forecast for a 25 billion yen ($214 million) loss, despite higher sales expected for the fiscal year. Ten automakers have recalled about 12 million vehicles in the U.S. and about 19 million globally for problems with the air bags.
Toyota teams with FirstElement Fuel on 19 hydrogen stations in California
Fri, May 2 2014Cross Toyota with a former General Motors and Hyundai executive and you might just get some real momentum when it comes to hydrogen refueling station deployment. Toyota and FirstElement Fuel Inc., which is headed by ex-GM and Hyundai executive Joel Ewanick, are working together on a project designed to complement California's agreement to spend about $200 million building 100 stations in the state. And while Toyota didn't put out any specific numbers, Automotive News reports that FirstElement received a $27.6 million grant from the California Energy Commission to build 19 stations, which will be sited at existing fueling spots and spaced far enough apart to be reachable by anyone within the state. In all, California has granted $47 million for the deployment of 28 new stations. Additionally, Toyota will get Linde to build a refueling station on a Toyota-owned property in the San Francisco Bay Area's San Ramon, Calif. Toyota, which is targeting a full-tank range of 300 miles and a five-minute refueling time for its fuel-cell sedan, had its fuel-cell prototype make its North American debut at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January. The company said at the time that 68 stations could serve 10,000 hydrogen vehicles. And while that station number doesn't sound terribly high, consider that there are fewer than 10 hydrogen refueling stations in California now. Check out Toyota's press release below and Autoblog's impressions from a drive of one of Toyota's fuel-cell prototypes late last year here. Toyota Collaborates with FirstElement, Providing Financial Assistance to Facilitate a Hydrogen Refueling Network in Targeted California Locations Toyota also will collaborate with hydrogen provider Linde, which will build a public hydrogen refueling facility at the Toyota San Francisco Regional Office May 01, 2014 TORRANCE, Calif. (May 1, 2014) – "The issue of hydrogen refueling infrastructure is not so much about how many stations; but rather, location, location, location," stated Bob Carter, senior vice president, Automotive Operations, Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. (TMS), just four months ago at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas where he unveiled a hydrogen fuel cell sedan due to launch in 2015. "Solutions are being found through collaboration between government, academia, carmakers and energy providers.
Toyota, Daihatsu and Suzuki team up to unbox some fun-size electric kei vans
Thu, May 18 2023The G7 Summit is happening in Hiroshima, Japan, right now and some automakers have taken the opportunity to announce new projects. Toyota, their wholly owned subsidiary Daihatsu, and Suzuki (of which Toyota owns about 5%) made news with a trio of electric micro-vans built to kei car specifications. The battery-electric vans are part of an industry-wide push toward carbon neutrality. Kei-class vehicles, in addition to limited displacement gasoline engines, have strict dimensional restrictions that allow them to navigate the often narrow streets in dense urban areas. They're also privilege to certain tax breaks and parking benefits. [gallery ids="2474953,2474954"] The engine size rules obviously don't apply to the electric vans, but they will still conform to the size boundaries. Kei vans are often used to solve the "last mile" problem in logistics since they're able to whiz around crowded streets inaccessible by larger commercial vehicles. Daihatsu, which specializes in kei cars, will build the vans and name their variant the HiJet Cargo. The HiJet name has been a consistent one in the company's lineup since 1960, but these new versions will be front-wheel-drive in contrast to the rear-wheel-drive gasoline variants. Toyota's version will be called the Pixis Van, while Suzuki will be named the Every, a nameplate that's been around since 1982. Aside from the badges the vans appear identical. Range is said to be approximately 200km (124 miles) on a single charge. The exhibition was held in conjunction with the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, which former Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda heads. Toyoda stepped down from the top position at the company his grandfather founded in April, but still takes a overseer role as Chairman. Toyoda was criticized for being slow to adopt EVs, and new CEO Koji Sato has emphasized the role of battery-electrics moving forward while still taking a multi-front approach to carbon neutrality with hydrogen and hybrids. These vans were likely in development before Toyoda's retirement, though.
