BigZavs T56 swap/Finishing my 1.5JZ project

[Bigzavs]

nice work Zavs, I like it a lot

gracias mark, did you ever source a 2J lower runner? i might be able to find you one if you want

Looking good Ben. Once you get through with yours, you can start on mine. K bye.

dont lie, lol.............i saw the dyno sheet. are you changing your setup or something?

man following your supra build, it got me getting up off my couch and straight to my garage lol....hopefully i get my car done soon. yours to man.

ya, hopefully itll be done soon, i need to drop things off at the machinist again

got some more work done, re-mounted the turbo-a duct to where it should have been the first time

mounted the clutch just to see it on the motor, lol

set the motor back in to the engine bay to start working in there

finally got off my ass and bought a took box in order to organize in my area

Hey do you happen to have pics of how the intake manifold needed to be modified to clear the booster. I believe we spoke a while back about this with the 1jz greddy manifolds and you mentioned they had clearance issues. Anyway I am looking at picking one up soon for my 1.5j


Thanks In advance
BJ

Looks good ben....def. diggin the new bumper

 

[suprahero]

Ben, I haven't changed anything on my setup except for the turbo. I do plan on going with e85 since my turbo didn't make the power I thought it would make. It looks like e85 is the answer to all my dreams though. Unfortunately for me, there is only one service station around here that has it. I'm going to have to buy it 55gallons at a time and keep it at the house.
I'm hoping my 154 will hold up to the power or I will definately be rereading this thread.

 

[Bigzavs]

well ill tell you this, my buddy used to run the same turbo as you (he switched to the billet 71) and he ran E85 on it. IIRC he made 801whp at 30psi with the 6765, 264's, and AEM dunno what he makes now. but that turbo is wicked dude, youll make some good power with E85

This manifold doesnt have to be clearanced for the brake booster. I changed over to the truck brake booster (doesnt stick out as far) while some guys have said this would hurt my braking, Im non-abs and have 13" 4-piston BBKs all the way around, so it wont hurt that much. i can give you pictures of the other manifold and how i had to modify the back of that one if you want

 

[BJ91T]

Oh ok thats cool, If you have a picture already then by all means I would love to see but dont go out of the way to get one lol. Your car is looking great and really coming together cant wait to see it all back together.

Thanks again
BJ

nah, shouldnt hard at all

couple updates

while pulling the 3200 stall off of the formula, i decided to put the steel driveshaft i was going to use on the supra, onto the formula, and use the aluminum shaft on the supra

also, going to re-do the valve covers on the motor

been a while since ive seen my crowers

 

[thedave925]

^^^ where's the assembly lube??? lol jk :]

KY lube is clear man, lol

 

[thedave925]

Is that what the high performance stuff is these day??? Too pure for color lolz

 

[Bigzavs]

well ive ordered

New wheels
Wilwood Dynalites
and 13" rotors for the rear

 

[Bigzavs]

got a couple things today for the car

pair of wilwood dynalite 4-piston calipers (dirty, but were recently rebuilt)

and a celica steering wheel, looks alot like the stock 98 mkiv wheel (i dont have the center yet)

 

[honestabe]

I couple good coats of caliper paint will make those calipers look really nice. Looks good man!

yup, gonna do em up to match the fronts

got the center piece from a 99 celica, the 99 and 01 have different materials, so im gonna go back out and get the wheel from the 99 to match it, probably put the wheel up for sale on here

got my formula back together last night, front pump went out on the trans, so that was whole bunches of fun

supra up on stands waiting on the new wheels

new wheels on it, front looks a lil odd, cuz of the red bumper (i really need to paint it now)

 

[thedave925]

Nice, what do those kick ass pieces weigh with rubber?

 

[Bigzavs]

Nice, what do those kick ass pieces weigh with rubber?

not a clue on their weight, once i start setting up the new brakes ill weigh both front and back

 

[thedave925]

Cant be more than 50lbs with rubber mounted, by the looks of it. 18s right?
They are hot!! But I'm not one to copy you

 

[Bigzavs]

couple small updates, been a busy ass week for me (school and work, not busy on the car)

heres a better pic of the wheels on the car

got the e-fans this week, i know the clutch fan works better, but the car is not a daily, so i think i can afford to run e-fans

decided on using a stock 05 Corvette Z51 front brake rotor for the rear rotors on my car, front rotor on left, rear on right

decided to re-do the valve covers on the car as well, probably going to go with flat black
