hi. this is not really much of a build thread since i do not have pictures of all of my new parts or the old ones but i figure its worth posting. for those who dont know, my name is Matt. I purchased an 88 turbo, targa, 5spd supra about two years ago. it is color code 21C which is two tone blue. i drove the car for about a year until last summer when it blew the headgasket. since then the motor has been gone through completely. i am not going for retarded power so i went with a pretty standard rebuild. as i said, i dont have pictures of everything so i will just make a list then post the pictures i have.
here goes:
ARP head studs
ARP rod bolts
ARP main studs
Nippon pistons and rings .020 over
ACL std bearings
Titan MLS head gasket
Felpro gaskets for the rest
Silicone rad hoses
Silicone vac hoses
stock CT-26 refreshed
BIC divorced downpipe
SX AFPR
DM turbo softlines
Godspeed radiator and e-fans
Lotek 3 pod pillar
SAFC
Innovate LC-1
Auto meter "Cobalt" water gauge
Silver sparkle powdercoated intake, 3000 pipe, timing gear backing plate
Blue stardust powdercoated compressor housing, valve covers, timing gears, pulleys and strut tower bar ends
Now for pics (ignore all timestamps):
6,5
4,3
2,1

i assure you, all those parts that look white in the last 3 pics are actually silver. the sun is just reflecting off of them a lot.
i also have a video of the first(second, third) start but it is on my other computer so i will upload it later.
that is all for now. new turbo and intercooler coming soon. hope everyone enjoyed the pictures.
