CajunKenny's Build Thread

Sure do. Here are two. I'll post up more later. There were a total of three Supras, one CTS-V, and a 71 Supercharged Chev Pickup.

This a vid of me getting ready for my first pull.

This is my low boost baseline pull.

And the 27psi vid?

Hey Ken, great job on the gears.

When are you starting the meth install?

March, 2028.

Hey Ken, great job on the gears.

When are you starting the meth install?

Thanks Ron.

The Meth kit will go on as soon as I get my missfire taken care of. My first plan of attack there will be the CPS followed by the TPS. I'm tired of getting on the dyno and having problems!

Here is my 361 hp/360 tq pull.

I hear ya. Good luck with it. Car is still looking and sounding great.

Sick! How you liking that JT62 ken? I am looking at buying one from Jeff soon...just wait until you get to 18 psi+ that's when this turbo gets fun!

 

[CajunKenny]

I have run four turbos. The stock CT, the 57 Trim, the 20G, and the JT62. All of the turbos have been really fun and provide power in different places. The 20G hits like a train and at 14 psi, throws the car sideways. VERY fun in it's own right; but, VERY dangerous as well.

So, out of all of the turbos, the JT62 is my favorite. Why? Because I'm a little more cautious in my older age (34) and I don't have to worry as much about keeping the car straight. Don't confuse this with being less powerful! It hits really hard; but, in the higher rpm range where tire spin isn't as much of a problem. Currently, there is light to moderate tire spin in first, and very light heading into second. I'm sure this will increase with boost.

As a HUGE plus, it mounts up to the factory exhaust manifold. You can't beat that!

How have I missed this Build, Amazing work kenny!! So any more pics and into on this 20G lol

 

[CajunKenny]

Thank you sir!

Are you looking for 20G pics? I'm sure I have more somewhere. Also, it's still sitting on my shelf as a back up.

 

[bhmsupra]

Looking good as usual. The JT62 just pulls beautifully. If you ever want to dump the 20g...... well, we've already talked about it. I have a good home for it 4 sure.

Good progress and report on the dyno, Kenny! I had/have the JT61 on mine before, and I can vouch for it's nice performance as well! (Now I am running IJ's T04z, however...) I think I over spooled my JT61 over a period of time with the WG not "closing tight" when the actuator arm was out of adjustment, so now I need to replace the seals on mine. Ended up getting the T04z on a spontaneous buy and still need to rebuild the JT! DOH! I really don't have any immediate plans for it... so maybe someone is interested? (BTW, Jeff was great to work with.)

^^^ You nailed it why I like a bigger turbo: safely laying down the power in a way that you get it when you really want it, not sneaking up on you if you slip the clutch too much getting into second lol

Nice pull on the dyno. You car is nice, really neat. Good to see a Supra kept that way, to many people like grease in their engine bay. When you get a chance to come up to the NorthEast, mainly NYC in the boroughs, let me know. You can see this 1JZ I am building here. It is going to be chrome heaven under the hood.

And a good home it will need...

Yep, mine had that same actuator arm issue. I still haven't upped my wastegate pressure that high. It's currently at ~11.5. I like having the ability to daily drive the car at low psi and then have a little extra psi when something needs a spanking. :biglaugh:

I will likely increase it to ~13 psi in the near future. That should move my full boost mark in a tad bit earlier in the rpm range.

A little lag isn't always a bad thing!

Thanks for the compliments Andy. If I make it out that way, I hope to get a ride in a certain 2J car that I missed out on buying!

Very nice dyno pull Kenny. Car sounds good and looks great! Keep up the good work, watching yours run makes me anxious for my first start up.
If you should head east you are always welcome in Baltimore.

No problem. Don't forget about my Cam gears and pulley set I told you about, incase you know anyone. Fund my 1JZ build. The 2JZ is running good but needs a tune. I never did it but I am plan on getting a Stinger universal setup and running a custom harness. I can't have Dr.Tweak help me here since all the body plugs and relays have been cut up which is not good at all. Basically, the body harness is running the lights and things like that. Fuel pump is on its own relay, not even done right, the stock one is jumped and that is a signal for the new relay. Little stuff that makes me shake my head. The radiator is leaking now. I plan on getting rid of those electric fans and running the clutch setup. If I pull the engine again, the car is going to be sprayed jet black since the paint is chipping in certain places and I am going to steal your wheels. Thanks.

Thanks a lot Fred. Live as vicariously through my car as needed. Actually.....your car lives through mine literally...!

I am going to steal your wheels. Thanks.

Steal away! I'd like to see another Soup sporting those wheels!

 

[IBoughtASupra]

They look really nice on the car since it is black. I currently have a set of white Volks on the 1JZ Supra.
