Well hello there fellow British Columbia. I got some really good news for you if you didn't already know. There is a supra parts guy (my buddy says he is a supra god) named Dom in your city. I am in the middle of the same type of build and just finished pulling my motor and transmission right out of the car.

Dont forget a good standalone engine management system. If you do that then you can eliminate the AFM and flow more air from a larger intake pipe. I might even know someone who can make an intake manifold to do a front facing manifold for a 7m but it would require a bracket to put the alternator elsewhere. it looks damn sexy

Is this the kit that you were talking about for your intercooler?

and this Turbo?

http://www.suprastore.com/ct26turup.html

I might actually have the AFM that your looking for. The 550cc injectors are the right size for what your looking to make and rcengineering is a great choice from what I have heard. I haven't heard much about that intercooler kit but damn thats expensive. I look forward to hearing what others have to say about it.

I plan on going with a driftmotion turbo manifold kit and a turbo to match once my little turbo car sells. Darn plymouth laser is pissing me off daily.
What type of seats do you have in your car right now? Specifically the rear seat lol. Leather? Cloth? Color?

Not trying to rain on your parade, a 50 trim ct26 won't get you to 400 rwhp I don't think.

 

[ttsupra2503]

I think this 67 trim from driftmotion might work

http://store.driftmotion.com/static/i-7m-gte67mmturbokit.php

and they also carry

thanks for sharing! im gunna go with those parts!

I need a grey leather bottom bench. the guy I bought it off of had a couple big dogs and they pooched the bottom with their untrimmed claws. Mine is horrible and I go to chilliwack for fishing till mid november. I will sell the AFM once I get my aem controller wired in. I wont need it to run the car anymore.

I am trying to find a place that sells the intake but I cant find much more then basics on ebay. I haven't had the best chance to look but I will try and find more on it. I really want one as well so as I said before, if they are too expensive I might just have to make one using stacks. Would be much nicer if it was already built. The brackets to move the alternator down are simple from looking at mine.

I like the guys at the supra store and they have some of the stuff I need. I just like the kit that driftmotion has. If suprastore made a kit of comparable value with a turbo option then I would be really interested.

If you want 400 and want an upgrade CT, get a 57 or 60-1 trim. Or go to Albert on here and get a billet 58trim (light as a 57trim wheel but flows as much as a 60-1 IIRC). ETS intercooler kit is overkill for your power goals.

Your other option is to go on Ebay and get a CT26--> T3 adapter and run a medium frame T3 turbo with an external wastegate.

 

[Moy]

hey ttsupra, when you find out who sells that long runner FFIM, please post up the information. that looks awesome, I'd buy one if it's a reasonable price

yeah im going with the drift motion kit..

 

[ttsupra2503]

So I found one to start with but I am sure there are other FFIM out there now.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/7MGTE-intak...Parts_Accessories&hash=item27b1dca83b&vxp=mtr

That one requires a larger throttle body on it. I will probably end up making one unless I fall on a really good job for one day a week while I am going to school lol

There is another company that makes one but they are 1200 and it doesn't look as nice and they dont talk about stacks in it either. It looks like the battery might have to be moved for some of the units and a different intercooler will be needed for sure. Hope this helps some.

 

[Jordon Burt]

if/when i get the front facing intake it will prob be from here. http://www.suprasport.com/LIPP-Front-Facing-Intake-Manifold_p_5506.html
im a firm believer of staying away from ebay as much as possible

If your getting a 3" exhaust.. I just walked that walk...
As long as your not looking for cheapo china ebay stuff... contact George at Raptor Racing (approved vendor here). I just got a downpipe from him (integrated elbow, divorced wastegate tube reintegrated). Top quality part. Would have done the full exhaust through him had I known he still did this.
Unfortunately, Randy (BIC) doesnt do exhaust for the 7M anymore. (at least.. fairly certain he doesnt)

$5,315.94

from one store.. oooh this is gunna cost a bit. and thats not including the rad i want, the electric fans, the clutch, the exaust( well most of it ) , suspension upgrades, body work, after is done im expecting around 8g's :aigo:

 

[ttsupra2503]

you forgot the BCSprings from driftmotion 329.99 and the 57 trim turbo kit has a 4 inch k&n. not sure if its gonna be much of an upgrade to move past the huge filter they have with the kit.

 

[Jordon Burt]

well... i screwed up. found out the motor needs more work than i though. im just gunna pull the motor next week, just gotta wait for my cheque so i can buy the hoist and engine stand. might aswell since i need to replace the turbo and head gasket it will be alot easier and plus while its out i can get the motor fully redone. im gunna put the rods and pistons in aswell while its out. wont be driving for a couple months since i only make around 2500-3000 a month. (im only 18 and an apprentice steel stud framer which only pays me 13$/hour) im gunna put around 5g's into the motor so i know its good. i was planning on fixing the car up with maybe like 3000g total and selling the car but now im gunna keep it.

 

[Jordon Burt]

and im painting it mineral grey this cheque, and next after that (nov.15) im buying the turbo and a couple other misc. parts. and december 1st im buying more engine parts. dec.15th clutch and other engine misc parts. gunna be fun. expected finish date. january maybe feb with a couple other parts.

Many people have sunk a lot of money into these cars (myself included).

Don't spend a penny if your thinking of selling for a profit. Your not going to get your money out of the car. I have seen well over 25,000 in a car selling for 8000.
If your going to do the work thats all fine. However, your going to need to prepare yourself for possible bad news situations. (ex. head warped/cracked, crank shot, exhaust manifold shot, etc...) It happens.

My car is over 30k invested and I am still not where I want to be (mind you.. I have not done any work myself for the mechanics and bodywork, and I am fussy, so it cost a lot more).

What I laugh at is that us die-hard Supra fans will put over 4500.00 into tires when we can buy a Supra for the same amount. It doesnt make logical sense.. hehe

Also, a 2.0 metal headgasket means your going to have to lap the block and shave the head. This has to be done perfectly or you are going to have problems later on. I dont know anyone that can do that himself, so it normally means a GOOD machine shop that understands the engine. Earlier, I priced having my engine rebuilt to handle 600+ HP reliably and it was a tad bit over 10,000.00 (again.. someone else building for me)

Now... that doesnt include brakes, suspension, bodywork, paint, interior, glass, exhaust, turbo, fuel system, engine management, intercooler. The way I am building my car I am guesstimating that I will have roughly 45,000.00 into the car when its done. More if I try to perfect it for car shows. Worth it to me, because it isnt my daily driver, I love the car and I have no intentions of ever selling it. I can buy a new car for that quite easily and be happy, but it just wont be a MK3...
