92nsx's supra build

[92nsx]

Hey Rob, unless I missed it, I haven't been able to find what I'm looking for... what oil cooler do you have?

A "Hello Kitty" one

^^^ yep.........sort of, the only thing was my kitty/20lb cat (blue) didn't jump, play or hide in the package it came it. He likes JDM boxes that were "over nighted" :rofl:

Since I like post with pics here is Blue again trying to figure out "what the hell Im doing in the garage now" As you can see he is trying really hard,.........

Now on to answers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

I went with a CX Racing one since it had the right size ( 12"ish X 6"ish), number of rows (more them 15 ), the correct hose fitting size (an8) and the right $$ (around the 70 mark) I was looking for.

Here is the link, and yes I am very happy with it so far, but the again I have maybe put on 200-300 miles on the new system.

Last night I ordered up everything I need to make my intake to the turbo. Dam it didn't come cheep but it is done the way I want it. Also bought a lexus, for the new plan as out-lined in a earlier post. Now just need to find a piggy back and some 550's and see what she will do. Unless a piggy back with lexus can handle 880's :rofl: !?!?!?!?!?

Then call this supra done. I have found a 96 Corvette Im going to go look at this weekend. The only sad thing about the vette is that it is a auto. But for the price I think I can handle it. Time to move on. Getting sick of some people in the supra community (and the stereo type cheep ass mk3 owners). So this way I can lay low on the supra and start getting my knowledge back about Vette's with a new stereo type (snobbs / stuck up ). At least it isn't cheep ass

I should get you in touch with our friend Dean with the red Supra. He just got a '98 Camaro Z28 with 46,000 on the clock that he's looking to sell.

Auto isn't such a bad thing, I could see a turbocharged monster in your future ...or not

 

[Supra_Villan]

takes an awfully weak minded person to let the members on a forum drive you away from the car....

 

[fixitman04]

rob, i understand exactly what you are saying about the community. buy the vette you will love it even as an auto... there are lots of things you can do to the gm trans its very flexable and loves power

No Camaro's. Im not a fan of the last style, it is to bland for me. But thank you for the heads up.

Could, but looking to leave it alone. I have the supra I can toy with.

Your right Im no Jedi,

But it is mainly a local owner. Their not driving me away, im not selling, not getting rid of any supra. Just going to move on to a Vette. I will still have / keep my slo-pra, just not going to dump another $4-5K in computer/fuel, $2-3K on appearance (rims, body kit) , and 3-5K on paint into a car that isn't worth $3,000.

Very nice to hear. I might just add chip and air filer, but looking to keep it stock for a nice weekend driver. Your right i might like a auto, I have only driven manual Vette's

I also have a couple buddies asking there friends back home if there vette are still for sale. One is pretty bad ass. 79', black, L82 with a manual, loaded. Manual c3's are way hard to find. Only about 20% were made in manuals and ones that are out there people don't sell them. In this instance about 25,000 79' c3 were made of that about 4,000 were manuals, and about 3,000 79's were L82's.

The other is a 84' silver, auto :cry: I'm not a huge fan for the earlier c4 or cross fire injection, problems. But it is his fathers car, pretty clean that was customized back in the 80's to be a convertible. GM never made a 84 convertible vette. This one is considerable because the price might be low enough.

 

[emiliorescigno]

There is a silver C3 for sale in Waite park if you head west towards St. Joe. Might be worth looking at.

Oh and don't get an early C4 - the Slow-pra will be faster.

 

[7Matt-GE]

you could always do a 1uzfe swap like im gunna once im done with the NA/T build

im scrapping the idea of a turbo on the 1uzfe though..im goin the route of the ITB vroom vroom

Nope wont be a 84-91 vette Hint: 94' loaded, fx3 suspension, sport seats, 6 speed, 80K miles black rose in color, ect, maybe even a F3 exhaust............stay tuned. Maybe look for updates around Saturday afternoon :naughty: :naughty:

I don't plan on it being a speed demon, just quick and fun. The slo-pra will take care of that once the I get the slow out of it, :rofl: :rofl:

As long as the supra runs and drives it is "good to go" in my book. A 7m with big single is just a bonus

 

[7Matt-GE]

very bad ass im gunna throw a ct on my motor once i start doin the NA/T build

actually scratch that..ill probably go 20g

A TD06-20g is a AWESOME turbo. I used to have one on my last 89. It was a fun turbo, lots of power, and super fast spool.


As for me, well the post man dropped of 1/2 of the parts I ordered for the turbo intake, plus a couple extra t-clamps to replace a few screw type clamps I had to use. Now Im just waiting on the alum 4" 45 degree pipe, hose fittings/ends and lex to show up. Props to SIS and Summit once again for freeky, super fast shipping time!!!!!!

 

[92nsx]

Like always a supra up date first:

More parts!! Whoo. Now just waiting on the 4" 45 degree alum pipe and 550's
In the pic is the lexus and fittings needed to make the turbo intake.

Well this is what Hundo and I did today for 850+ miles,.........We started at 3 this morning and got back home at 6:15 tonight. Ill let the pics do the talking. More pics tomorrow. Beer-thirty now after to many windshield hours.

...............more tomorrow.

That Vette is a pretty car

 

[92nsx]

Thank you Ian.

Here is a couple more pics of it cleaned up now after the drive. The Mods that are done to it is just a Magaflow cat back and K&N air filter.

A closer of the exhaust. Im not really crazy about it but we'll see how things go

Now if I could just get the post man to drop off the parts Im waiting on for the supra we could talk more about the slo-pra. :rofl:

 

[IJ.]

What year is it Rob?

 

[nick88]

Bosselman travel center in altoona, iowa right off of I-80/35?

 

[92nsx]

What year is it Rob?

1994. LT1, 6 speed manual, FX3 suspension. The last 2 were the 2 must haves. It is the same suspension control Ferrari uses i guess.

Bosselman travel center in altoona, iowa right off of I-80/35?

I dont think so. Some where just before the Illinois border coming down from Wisconsin on I-90 - 34.


As for a supra update. Whoo the 4" pipe showed up. But dam Im running out of time quickly now. I need to mock it up (cut pipe to length, and drill holes for the bungs to get welded in), then have pappy weld her all up. Im hoping to mock it up tomorrow (wend.) (time that I dont have) and try to have it welded up Thursday, so it is ready for the meet this Saturday.

Now on to have a pic of the flipping huge pipe. Once again parts are stacking up again next to the coffee table.

 

[toyotanos]

Did those 550's come in too?

 

[Mr.Yuk]

In case anyone is wondering.. 250 miles in that 'vette SUCKED. OW! Still not a bad car. Was a cool trip Rob
