Bluechulappa's 89Turbo restoration

[Bluechulappa]

Dan - I think it comes with a strut tower mounting bracket for the regulator... I'll have to check!
FullNelson - I'm not sure if it will completely withstand the heat. Lets hope! I know people powder coat the cold side of the turbo housing and they don't have problems. I would think heatsoak would cause that to get pretty dang hot.

On another note! My 57 trim ct26 is now installed! The car is running. Going to work on my wideband through the week and this weekend do my fuel mods!

Sry for the camera phone pics
Wanted to get opinions on my heat sheilds and you can kind of see the new turbo

Exhaust manifold shields are mirror black and the turbo shield is a chrome.

Going to start on the fuel mods and all that crap probably today. I'm not feelin to great the past couple days!

 

[FullNelson]

Im jealous of your PCing abilities. Do you just use an old junk oven?

 

[Bluechulappa]

This is my powder coating area for the record... Nothing Fancy! Aha

Yea just a home oven. Never use the oven to cook with after you have used it with curing powder coat. You can get a starter powder coat system from eastwood. That's what I got.

Man nice powder coating! I want an oven for it but have no where to put one

 

[Bluechulappa]

Thanks!

Ugh so I'm having my friend who is an ac/electrical technician at Chrysler come help me redo my shit tastic wiring.

Been working on the supra all day. TIRED! Gonna go drink it up with my bestie for his 23 bday!
Here are a couple of teaser pics of my progress from today...

*UPDATE TONIGHT*
Got fuel pressure to my gauge on my afpr. What is the correct fuel pressure at idle does anyone know?

I started the car up once we got 35psi with the car to the on position. Used a paper clip to power the fuel pump with the car off.
Should the afpr gauge read zero when the car is off... Even at the ON position?

Walbro Fuel pump install....

Then became this.

Then it came a monsoon! Only rain in 30+ miles!

Walbro 255lph

Its taken me 3 days to read through this on and off, and I sir am impressed. You now have me tempted to start tearing into mine. Keep up the good work though, I love the quality and care put into everything on it.

Just switched my 7m to Pennzoil Ultra. Purlator pureone oil filter

The fuel pump doesn't really run at on position. It will send fuel through the line but does not stay constantly running.

 

[Bluechulappa]

Great weather here right now so I washed the supra and took some pics...

Enjoy!

I hate you

But in a good way

Your car looks beautiful in those pics man

 

[Bluechulappa]

So today I said fuck it and took apart a lot of shit on my engine. Pulled my wiring harness and proceeded to clean and repair what I could...
This was the result

 

[Bluechulappa]

Over three years ago my supra saw it's first daylight in almost 10 years after being stuck in a warehouse for a decade.

Three years after this photo and after lots of blood sweat and tears... My supra is now at this point! It's been an amazing journey and I hope to continue to inspire people to restore their mk3's as they are the true legend behind the Supra brand!

Just wanted to post up a recent before and after pic!

 

[Bluechulappa]

So my supra has been running good. I have noticed a couple times that I hear compressor surge(rattle snake sound) Is it from my bosche bpv? I'm only running 15psi at high boost untuned. Is that unefficient untuned, should I just run like 10-12psi till I can get fuel management and a tune?

Do I need a better bov? Thinking of getting a loud bov like the turbo xs ones... Since my exhaust is nice and quiet!

your car looks real nice, very well done
