Haha hope I get some stuff done today, my Gf's parents are moving into another house and they want me to hang up some blinds before they move the bigger things into place. So, I'm going to bust out 2-3 blinds right now and then work on the supra. Most likely actually get to working on it after...

Kenny, the first time I replaced the core, I didn't know about o-rings and didn't have another vehicle to drive to get another pair. I slid the old o-rings into place until 1/16" from the joint butt, put a couple wraps of teflon tape, fitted the core extensions and clipped, pressure tested to 20...

I'm in Cali, and it's cast and adapts to OEM very well. It's going to happen, maybe an install next year... But, OP wants build options to hit 650+hp, Daily. Does that mean this is a Hwy car or a stoplight runner? Gotta choose the right turbo for the situation, everything else falls into...

^^^ On that note of FFIMs, has anyone purchased and run successfully the Suprasport cast FFIM? http://www.suprasport.com/LIPP-Front-Facing-Intake-Manifold_p_5506.html Its another option, tho a bit high.

Okay, the last few days have been full of work, running around helping others, and tearing apart everything I own looking for my alarm installation manual. Its given me a chance to organize/discard all my paper work and consolidate most things supra related. I did get a small side project done...

Thats pretty trick

Thats a positive note to leave off at, good stuff. Hope you have a quick turnaround

^^^ At least you came to look. Also, the heat shields of the exhaust area help save the paint on the hood. The engine undercover is supposed to help concentrate the cool air through the radiator, useful in hotter areas (ie Arizona)

I've run my 7m and PWR with stock shroud couple years with no issue. I am using the original who knows how old 10 blade fan and TOYOTA clutch. The first shroud died with the pull of the fan, the upper inner lip of the shroud getting sucked between the fan and radiator. Installed a new shroud...

lol sure that'd be cool. My fronts are tucked in a bit much and I know spacers would do wonders to the appearance.... Yes I'll take you up on the offer when I get the spacers. New or not, if they need to be chamfered or whatever, I'll bring'em to ya, with some kick back for your time. I...

Sweet deal! Ironically, I bought a car I knew I had to work on so I would know how to work on cars lol May you receive years of reliability from your 'yota v8 :D ATM there's no way I'm in circumstances to comfortably say I can go to SILV and enjoy myself for this year's run. But next year I'll...

Poopy. The engine builder had to shave the rear timing plate bolt heads about half way. ~3mm remains. Must be a routine thing with adjustables, I've got Fidanzas from a gb years ago. Thank goodness you have the gear to take care of it, plus, isn't the joy of customizing cars the inside...

What happened, you had an accident? Did you hit your head? Had amnesia for awhile? Your really a cyborg from the future and they had to reboot your system with another future computer? Drew gave you a new mission? And now there's a built engine? AMAZING!! lol jk It looks like a trouble free...

Thanks for that 3p. So I could install a filter at the ground point of the head unit to achieve this noise suppression? I have a shielded patch cables, the high end 4ch and a mid level 2ch by Monster brand, running the right side of the car, and power running the left. Can't remember if they...

I've relocated my battery to the rear right corner, in a battery box. 2 awg (american wire gauge) to the alternator, 2 awg to the rear shock tower, oem ground from block to front left shock tower. What exactly causes ground loop noise? You know, that annoying whine that gets louder/higher in...

^^ Funny :)

Daylight pic please!

WOW you've got some work happening. The rusty floor pan and hatch, did you transplant sheeting from a donor? I'm loving that you've torn it apart and when its together, it'll last another 20 years!

Motivational: AC box. Temp sensor shoved in fins, drain at bottom left, hi/lo fittings sticking out NOTICE, I taped the fittings to keep dust out of the heat exchanger. A CLEAN ENVIRONMENT IS IMPORTANT FOR TROUBLE FREE OPERATION OF THE AC IN THE FUTURE Flat head used to removed clips. 4...
