I love the look! The supra looks good!

I'm worried about the wiring around the engine. Looks like someone did a sloppy job after swapping in that engine, it does not appear to be your factory engine

That is certainly a none turbo distributor!
That MAF sensor is from a none turbo engine and is restricting air flow!

I'm thinking you should check and see exactly what ECU you have amd check the wire harness for any cuts or unplugged sensors.

You may be running dangerously lean with the wrong electronics.

You may have a originally none turbo, with a swapped engine.

You should definitely find out exactly what engine you have. I'm no 1g expert.

It's not a swap and the VAFM and distributor are fine. That's a 1G-GTE. They're not common and not something you're likely to ever see in person. It's a twin turbo, 2 liter, inline 6 which was only sold in Japan. As for the wiring, well, I hope he's figured it out in the FOUR YEARS since he started this thread.

hey man have you done anything else to your engine/car? I've always been curious about the 1g-gte's capability.. Have you done any chassis mods? I do believe the 1g is the lightest engine that went into the mk3 chassis, so overall from what I've seen the GA70 is almost 250 lbs lighter than our MA70. (It would be great if this can be confirmed.) This would be reason enough to try and track this thing at auto X... BTW, I know the engine weight itself doesn't account for the weight difference.
