92nsx's supra build

[toyotanos]

Good plan. I actually got this clutch used (for $150!) but it retails for ~650! ---->Well worth every penny!

But, I will say this: stage 1=400, stage 2=460, stage 3=520, stage 3+=620, stage 4=520, stage 5=710. These are the advertised TQ holding capacities at SIP racing, so obviously I got the best for street/track use! (funny how the 4&3's ratings are the same...all that changes is sprung or solid)

I have a SPEC stage 2 in my car, same full-faced sort of deal. It's very liveable, but I think it needs to be adjusted a bit, reverse is sort of "wobbly". Is yours the same way?

 

[toyotanos]

My clutch chatters a bit when it's really hot, but not so much when it's cold. I would say it's a very streetable clutch.

 

[Mr.Yuk]

Re-post for Rob's referance...
My clutch is a Spec stage 3+ with the spec pressure plate and the stock flywheel. I read about lots of aluminum flywheel users welding the clutch to the steel insert, so I would say stock or spec chrome-moly only.

If you want to take it for a test drive, let me know- I figure I owe you one for letting me drive yours last summer! FYI, I'm also using the stock TB with its progressive linkage in place. (I'm loving this long-runner FFIM! )

EDIT: Drew- what's with the "Can't compete with that" thing? Are you talking about the overnight parts or did I miss something?

Referring to the actual "Toyotaness" of the parts I can get. Granted I can get ACTUAL Toyota parts... but it would be more economically sound (ahem.. cheaper) for Mr. Rob to get them from you. I am simply a convenience. However.. I am standing by the decency of the Fel-Pro seals that we ( Steve and myself) installed lol

 

[toyotanos]

Drew's got everybody confused! ha HA!

Officially I vote Toyota for shaft seals and gaskets, but I am completely Pro-Drew for valve seals. Viton is so very much FTW!

 

[Mr.Yuk]

Confused? How? lol
Actually on most of my build I ran the aftermarket route, However unlike a certain Dan... I went with higher quality aftermarket as well as going OE where needed.. i.e. small weird gaskets etc.. However, I do think that National Seals and such work pretty darn well. Have yet to have a problem with them in boosted or n/a applications.

EDIT:By the way, to further clarify: Yes I can get Toyota OE parts in my store, BUT there IS a mark-up and the times Rob has purchased Genuine Toyota Parts through me it has simply been that me getting them to him was only slightly cheaper than the cost of the part plus gas making the 20 mile run to St.Cloud. The parts that I've gotten for him haven't even been over the $5 mark lol... I hope that makes sense now. I dunno.

 

[leecheater]

Yes, I learned my lesson on the shitty gasket kit. That is why when we need to pull her out and put in new bearings, I used the good stuff. Hopefully no issues.

 

[Mr.Yuk]

lol No offense Dan!

^^^ To sum it up in one sentence, I just don't make it into St. Cloud let alone Toyota much (20+ mile drive and traffic to deal with), so it is more convenient to have hundo get/pick up the parts I need and drive 1.4 miles to his store.

As for a update on the sup,

last night I started to R&R the injectors, until I checked resistance on the denso 195500-2020 I pick up. there high and not low. I swear they put 195500-2020 on what ever injector they wanted. They "should be" low, with a purple top, yet I have high with red top,..... but what ever.

So I was trying to pull info out of my memory bank from when I put these in my last supra (10 years ago). But there was to many cob webs in the way so to the phone I went to call a couple people. Long story short, I will still run them. If I leave the resistor pack in place they will be a little "laggy". By-pass it they will work perfect.

So hopefully Hundo will pick up my 2 scrap harness for a person in Cloud, so I can make a nice looking jumper for the pack. Other wise another option is to run down to Wayne's house and pick up his scrap harness to make one.

This morning i will head back out to the garage to finish up the instillation.

orings on ready to go

Fuel lines removed.

 

[toyotanos]

If you can't find a harness to get the connector from, give me a call- I know I still have one on my original 91 harness!

 

[Mr.Yuk]

Well.. I know where there are 3 harnesses.. 2 belong to Rob and I think one is mine from a swap.. so I will try to procure those. Otherwise.. Steve to the rescue

 

[92nsx]

Well who ever has it I will take it.

Well today after getting back from Back to the 50's, I finished up the 500's and lexus install. And for the record high impulse injectors work just fine on the TCCS from a 7M-GTE But I will still by pass the resistor pack once I get the harness's. Every thing went together smooth. One problem, Im guessing the A/R is all messed up (no piggy back) because now once warm it wont idle for shit. Jumps between 250 then 500 rpms for 5 seconds or so them just dies.

After everything I took her out for a quick test run. It is definitely better but still not up to par. It pulls a little harder and No fuel cut witch is a huge bonus! Yes it is only set at 7 lbs. but creeps up to 12 ish once at 6700 rpm's or so. The best part it pulls all the way and I almost need to spin it to higher rpm's but need to see a dyno graph to make sure. I know last time on the dyno with these cams power didn't fall off till 5300 ish on a stock turbo where other I have seen were all done at 4800 ish rpm's.

Once it dose reach the 12 psi mark it starts to really come to life! I can't wait till Im able to run 17-20 lbs. It should be fun. I still have no bottom end (below 3K rpm's) but I guess that is the trade off for this turbo and cams.

But good enough for now till the piggy back (or standalone and once again new fuel system) comes and have it tuned in since I don't drive it any ways besides maybe 20 miles a month. Also I still need to buy a smaller air filter, the K&N is still way to large to fit in the area I have available.

Well on to some pics because we all :love: pics. (or at least I do ) And time to drink some ICE COLD BEER :beer: !!!! Yummy, after the warm day up here.

This is all that had to be removed (besides the 550's waiting to be installed)

Lexus AFM

Looks liek I have some xtra parts to sell

 

[92nsx]

Also for the record here is how much it leaks. It only leaks once the engine is warm when I just back it out of the garage it don't seem to leak at all. I know not much, but I still don't like it. It looses about a quart ever 3-3.5 K miles that I have noticed.

 

[Mr.Yuk]

I've got that smaller Spectre filter if you want to try mocking that one up.

 

[92nsx]

Then I would have to still buy the adapter. There pretty much the same price with and w/o the adapter on egay.

 

[toyotanos]

I have an adapter, I think... Does the lex use the stock air cleaner bolt pattern or not?

 

[Mr.Yuk]

I have an adapter also on my GE AFM...

 

[92nsx]

I have an adapter, I think... Does the lex use the stock air cleaner bolt pattern or not?

Yep it has the same pattern

I have an adapter also on my GE AFM...

Those I dont know about. Test fit it up against the AFM you have.


Also here is a random plug (cly 5) I pulled. Well it don't look rich, but might be a tad bit on the lean side or a/r perfect under boost at the whole 12 lbs of boost creep! So pretty much she is done until a dyno pull with A/R can be done. Any one know of a dyno day coming up at all local? The flash made it "look" a little whiter in color.

What do you guys think?

 

[Zumtizzle]

Drew says that he got Viton seals, and the fact they came with condoms for install supports that idea. If they actually are viton seals, they are superior to the OEM rubber seals. I have heard of silicone valve stem seals, but I have no experience with them. If all else fails would go with OEM.

OEM isn't Rubber. It's Viton.

 

[toyotanos]

Sumeet- That's awesome! I was told by our parts dept. that they were rubber ones. AWESOMENESS!!!
Rob- there's a benefit carshow this Saturday at Hitech in Elk River- it sounds like they are going to have a dyno event too- $50 for 3 pulls. Figured I'd let you know.
