Emilio, Sean bought the "beast" from me and has his welder mounted on the bed of it. She still ran well but it was time to upgrade. Had the Dodge over 10 years and a ton of fun in her. (He still has it sitting in my back yard) The 06 GMC is the LBZ version and is considered by the Duramax boys...

Latest update: I have dropped the insurance down to comprehensive and am done driving the Supra for the season. This is the first fall in a long time that my car is actually running strong. Just need to sort out the fan shroud this winter. Probably fabricate one from sheet metal. I am still...

Quin thanks for the compliment. Emilio, I appreciate the help. I went back to the stock fan set up due to cooling issues with my previous electric fan set up. It really is a hybrid set up. I have the 2JZ fan clutch mated to a 7M fan blade, with Sean's adapter. It still fits pretty tight but...

It's been a while since I posted here. Almost a year. I actually have been driving the Supra only a fair amount this summer. Mostly have been driving the 240Z. I have been a bit reluctant to really push the Supra because I need a tune in the worst way. I had a guy named Devin who tunes the local...

Steve, Glad to hear father hood is agreeing with you. Take it from me, she will grow fast. If you decide to go auto, I want first dibs on your upgraded tranny if it goes up for sale, as my Supra is due to have the tranny upgrade in near future. I also thought about an automatic but I...

Holy Shit! Nice car. And I thought my 240 was nice. My MKIII get compliments but the 240 really turns heads http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6mZbH-pnvs&feature=player_embedded

Steve, what a monster. It's getting hard to keep up with the Jones!

We have the minor leaks fixed. I took her for a drive tonight with my wife. Surprising she didn't bitch too much. Really a difference driving her and the 240Z ! I do have exhaust gases getting into the cabin and have got to find the leak. Today I cleaned her up a bit on the inside. She really...

Last night Sean drove the Supra to his place and took her to work today. 40 miles on the new rebuild now. We have a couple of minor oil leaks and a soft exhaust leak. Still putting stuff back together. It has been a real challenging summer. I plan to have her broke in by freeze up and this...

Jetpower,thanks for the compliment. I have waited to post because I have been impatiently waiting for the new exhaust housing for the turbo. Comp really took their sweet time sending it out. Spool valve sold, spacer machined by local shop, so we are ready to put her back together again. Tonight...

Well, I have went back and forth on this project, drove out to North Dakota to talk to my friend Gary, e-mailed several guys, DaveH, Steve, Emilio and got their input. I have read through the build thread by SySt several times and have come to the conclusion that by swapping in an LS engine, it...

Thanks for the feedback Steve. You are right. I do enjoy her when she runs. I have never cared much for the spool valve. I can certainly down size the housing. Going to get her on the engine stand this week and start the process all over again. I wonder if the modified oil pump could have...

Emilio, these cars can cause pain. Believe me, been there, and done that on many occasions. Hope it's not too bad.

I am back. To say that this has been another frustrating season is understating big time. Here is what has happened since I last posted here. Took her our for a spin once exhaust was fabricated. Went about 6 miles, when I suddenly had a loud knocking sound from lower end. I know rod knock...

Hey Steve, you might want to talk to Sean. He has moved the Miller welder back to my shop. If you buy the pieces, I will be he and you can fabricate a nice system. He's currently tweaking mine. BTW, the electronic stuff on my Supra looks great.

Mike, Steve has been working on my Supra on and off over the past month in his garage. I have his gray monster safely tucked away in my big garage. His car runs and drives. We are just waiting for the cold snap to be over to swap them back. Perhaps a better question is will my car be ready...

It has been several years since we did this. I had tried several different combinations. I am pretty sure we tried all 2jzgte stuff to begin with. I was very concerned due to the lack of clearance. Really chopped up the back side of the radiator. The only good news was that Moshimoto has a 100%...

It's a real pain in the ass. We fabricated one on the 2jz. Sean made it in 2 pieces, with v-bands. Still not sure I am real happy with it. Really had to wedge her in. I don't have pics right now as my car is with toyotanos, sorting out a few issues. Will post up when she is home.

I am running a hydrid set up. I have the 2jz fan clutch mated to a 7mgte blade. Modifications per Sean aka funky_monkey58. I tried to run the 2jz fan and clutch and fucked up my Moshimoto radiator. We cut out the holes on the fan clutch to make them fit the 7mgte blade pattern, then had a...

I haven't posted here for a while. To put it lightly this season was a real bust. Nothing but one problem after another. The biggest problem has been with the fuel pump and filters. Around several weeks ago, I took the Supra to toyotanos, who is a Toyota mechanic to see if he could figure out...
