[porsche6016]

well i haven't updated this in forever and the thread was closed to reply and post more so i'll start over and post the major stuff....

bought the car like a year and so ago for $500 w/ a blown HG....
imedately i started tearing it apart and since it needs a new paint job, i got the hood, bumper, grill, and fender off, sanded and primered and alot of lil things until we get the head to work on the motor.... and here are the pics of the process so far in the last 3 days...

on the trailer about to push in the garage

joe came over and we decided to crack down and see what was wrong. we cranked it with the oil pack un plugged after we drained the oil and put new oil in it to build up the oil pressure. and we decided to try again and see what happens. we plugged the coil packs back in and cranked... it cranked and cranked, sputtered and the started for 3 seconds and than died. after yelling and cheering back and forth we tried again and it started right up!!!!!:bananahump-slvrathl:goldcup::thumbsup::luv:

it was smoking reall bad and leaking some stuff so we decided to pull it out of the garage for the maid in voyage of the car


pulled it out and found a few leaks that we fixed right away, a hole in the cat and a few other leaks. also found that the power sterring needs to be bleeded....




unfortunatley with the amount of smoke coming out the exhaust its looking like a blown HG bu hopefuliy the smoke will die down once it runs longer and we do some more system flushes....



joe unveild the supra logo on the back since it has finally started

first actual mod for the car :clap: new cone filter with opening at the top
the old one


old and new


new one installed


grill/nose peice on


:afraid7: bumper on and it actually looks like a car again :bud:

 

[porsche6016]

put stock gauge cluster back in until i get the rest of the autometers....


everything back in, started right up, pulled it out, saw where fuel was leaking from and than pulled it back in the garage to start fixing leaks

started tearing apart manifold to get to the fuel rail but took a break and smoked the tails

 

[porsche6016]

anyway, some pics from sat at my buddies garage (and this is the first time any import has been in this garage, haha, and he says the only one)

turbo and all removed to see why its leaking from the oil line from the turbo to the block

flange that goes to block, can you say warped much??

all back together

loaded on trailer with tubing about to get dropped off to Ian's for roll cage, and than fmic and exhaust

 

[porsche6016]

HKS SSQv BOV as well from kurt


and now some items from JEGS, nothin major though;
Grant racing steering wheel and hub adaptor


battery relocator kit and trunk mount kill switch


everything together



decided to remove the black paint from the intercoolier

 

[porsche6016]

supra unloaded off the trailed before charging the batt

charged the batt, fired right up and pulled it into the garage

and all the tubing that was never touched but apparently was "bent but not welded in yet" :grinfawk:

drained the gas tank

drilled for the kill switch and mocked it up. the batt will be placed on the left side of the trunk once i get a piece of aluminem fabed up for the fuel cell
