Reviving a JDM 1JZ Mark II Supra After YEARS – Will It Start & Drive?!

We finally got our hands on a legit JDM 1JZ-GTE-powered Mark III Toyota Supra project—and it’s a wild one. Big single turbo, R154 manual transmission, Wiring Specialties Pro Engine harness, EMU Black ECU… but it hasn’t run in years. In this video, we do a compression test, chase wiring gremlins, and attempt the first startup. Did we get it running and driving? Stick around and find out!

📦 Parts used:
– Wiring Specialties PRO harness
– ECU Master EMU Black
– Knockoff GT3582 turbo
– Yesper 6000A jump starter
– Stock injectors (for now 👀)

🛠 Future plans include:
– New turbo setup
– Bigger injectors
– Clean bay + full rebuild
– Potential giveaway?
- Coilovers and wheels

Comment your thoughts: should we build it, flip it, daily it… or give it away?
