Yup, was down while I transferred everything away from GoDaddy to a better DNS service and host service. Should be back up now although it needs a major refresh at some point. Maybe after I get the 1UZ-FETT done...
For this build the manifolds are being built out of mild steel SCH40 piping and weld els, otherwise known as black pipe. Just doing a basic log style manifold for each side, facing forward to mate with the turbos on the front of the engine. Next time around I'll see if I can make room for a...
The picture album linked above has been updated several times over the past few weeks as we've reached some milestones.
The radiator has now been test fitted after moving it forward 3-3.5" and creating new bottom mounts for it.
The intercooler has been test fitted after mounts were fabbed...
This is just the initial proof of concept so we'll only be working in the 6-10 PSI range which should get us in the 300-400HP range. After this stage is completed, another engine will be on a stand in the shop being built for quite a bit higher levels ;)
Began tearing down the car yesterday evening with the help of a friend and the use of his garage for the project which has quite a bit more room than my garage. Here are the first pictures of this stage of the project...
LOL, it won't be too big of an increase to start with. I should be starting at the stock 6-7psi and then raising it to 10-13psi as I get it tuned in. Probably have to replace the pp and clutch at that point.
After an extensive break the next phase of the project is about to begin. I will be attempting to get a twin turbo setup fabricated and in running condition before August 27th. I have already purchased a MR2 electric power steering pump and related computer/driver/electrical bits that go with...
Hey guys! With spring just around the corner and the salt season starting wrap up I can't wait to meet some more Supra owners this year in Michigan. I will have two Supras this year so we may have to interchange them every other meet so they both get driven until either my wife learns how to...
Great meeting you at the Metro Cruise! Hopefully we'll be able to get some more Supras together next year after the salt season is over with. I'll see if I can dig up those part numbers for the hood struts.
For Michigan owners and anyone else who wants to make the drive. We'll have our Supra out at Grand Rapids of Toyota's lot for the 28th Street Metro Cruise. If you have a Supra or other Toyota feel free to come show it off at the lot. Last year there were trophies and prizes, lots of classic...
You wouldn't happen to be the owner of the orange MkIII? I saw it parked the other day in the industrial area but didn't have time to stop and drop a card off.
BTW, I'm one of the owners in Kalamazoo. There are three others here in Kzoo but I have not met any of them and only been able to...
