Yeah I looked at that chart wrong. But I do indeed have VVti and no e-throttle, it had the mechanical fan which is a bit rare too. Lucked out before I really knew what I was looking at.

Well well, I am back. 2020 has been a fiasco for just about everyone, myself included.

One interesting thing, I finally learned how to profit from the automotive hobby we all share.
Step 1: Get a good deal on an SC 400.
Step 2: Get totalled by a guy blowing a solid red light. Ideally, don't get hurt in the process.

I'm taking some of my insurance settlement and committing to the Haltech ECU for the 1JZ Supra.

Ouch! Poor SC. You get to keep it for parts?
Glad you're still in the game.

I could have but between the impact, some damage under the hood, peeling something (I think the pan) open and bleeding out all the oil, I am a little leery of internal damage to the engine. I collected my personal stuff, the battery and the AFM (ebay sale yay) and called it a day. After enough back and forth with "the Russian guy" a 3UZ would be theee way to go for any NA UZ swap. But I am going to miss that sweet sweet 1UZ. I already do.

For now I'm back to one vehicle, the 86 4runner I bought with a dead cylinder. It had a successful 22RE transplant in my back yard and took me all over the great outdoors this summer.

I may even hunt down a 2JZ GE (probably domestic) for my old 89 pickup. So much fuckery with exhaust and steering, may as well be happy with an overpowered i6 in a truck instead of an extremely overpowered V8.
