Had some time to put some stuff on the car. Also went over the "swap harness" in the engine bay, originally I had planned to wire it correctly, but when I had problems getting it to start I reverted back to the "common" way. I have corrected it today, now the ECU controls/ is...

Got another update and some videos: Finnaly I have a box in my center console!! May not mean much to many, but I have never had one that didn't have the door ripped off. Now for some vids, went into town today and had my camera, so I figured I would try to get some footage of it...

WOW!!! That looks great! Good job!

Yea, I will try to get down there, hopefully it will be in a more complete stage by then. From the short time I met ForceFedSupra, if he does the same swap, I bet there will be a turbo or two. :) Sure are! haha, cant wait to see your engine bay painted aw perdy too! Ohh sure, haha...

Re-installed the AC lines on the passenger side of the engine bay, they fit just fine: Finished my alternator extension harness: Prepping for radiator, fan, and rad lines: 1UZ-FE fan on the left, and 7M-GE fan on the right, both have the same bolt pattern...

Been another long awaited update, quick summary. Got the Mustang 5.0 manual steering rack in and got tie rods connected. Its not quite how I envisioned it, but I'm happy with it. I also got the tranny and drive shaft in, then had a buddy make me some down pipes, and then the whole exhaust...

I think I like it, here are a few quick photo chops, can I put down my name twice, because I may buy two:naughty:. But really, if these will "bolt in" without the use of glue/adhesives/tapes then I definitely will buy two. 1. the t3d 2. Toink 3. IJ. 4. rmjsupra 5. Enraged 6...

I like it! As for the radius of the slope, I think it should be smoothed out a bit. But for my future plans with my project, a higher cowl will make more room for a twin scroll supercharger sitting on top of my engine. Also, any chance for windshield washers to have a home on the hood? I would...

I might be interested if the hoods had a few things, if they had provisions for the hood struts, washer nozzels, and had rolled edges, I think I would buy one. Event without the washer nozzels holes, rolled edges are a must. I went to a a local CF/FG/CK dealer, I think the warehouse was in...

Ohh, digging through dumpsters to, ehh? haha! As a slight update, I should be getting some stuff from Summit today in the mail, I picked up a steering u-joint for the steering rack, two glass packs, and some exhaust wrap & ties. Should be interesting!

Yea, they would be surgical towels, but they actually came out of a dumpster, another friend of mine pules out thousands of bran-new stuff, still in the wrappers out of that particular dumpster, you wouldn't believe how much stuff gets thrown away there!! Thanks! I plan to take it to a...

Ya Thanks! Got the engine to crank from running a new wire just like we discussed! I ended up "re-doing" my wiring to just focus on getting it to run, I will be trying to get everything to work like factory soon! But, yea, it cranked for a few seconds, and BAM, it started, and it ROARED...

Exhaust - fuel lines, EEK, very close, so I picked up some high temp shielding from Summit to protect the fuel lines, just haven't installed it yet, and have since devised a slightly different route for the fuel to run, you can also see the Black Velvet high temp paint from POR-15 on the frame...

Mounted engine with my "engine mounts" haha, put flywheel on, then put clutch on(no clutch pics), only had a problem with the heat shield on the driver side rubber mount, a persuasion hammer fixed that :) : "Engine mounts:" Painted: Ran the loom through the fire wall...

Well got A LOT done from my last update. To do a quick summary, painted the engine bay with POR-15, set the engine in, wired it up using my "swap harness" and then did some adjusting to my wiring, and BAM, it started, sorry no first start vids, but what ever, there will be future vids to come...

You would need the rear sump pan and accessories from a SC 1UZ-FE, so just getting a SC 1UZ would be a easier starting point. As for engine mounts, you have a few options, you can make swap brackets (bolt-on) or you can do one off mounts, or some combination of the two. Solid mounts seem to be...

The oil pan is the same, but if your going to pull the engine, then why not drill the block in the factory local for the oil return. Its not just one hole though heres some info, there was a good pic there, but its gone now. http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=89550 Good luck!

The pre 89 moldings will form with proper methods, since the main internal structure is metal, but it is very easy to mess them up. I haven’t tried to form them though. I would guess the 89+ would conform easier, with little to no modification. Good luck!

Hi all, I have a wheel question: Will a 16x8 with a 0+ offset fit on the Supra? From what I gather, it will be very tight or not fit on the front, but may fit on the back. Can anyone confirm? Also, is there any down side to running a larger rim up front with a smaller in the back?

I thought the tan MKI's looked good, but darn that black just makes the car! Very nice!
