frustrated 2j (1j?) supra build

[honestabe]

750-880cc injectors is what you'll need for that power.

 

[honestabe]

3rd one. Pearl white is sexy as hell. IS300 pearl white?

 

[dslocal]

I haven't really picked out the specific paint code yet but that ones up on the list. I was really leaning toward the volks just for the bling it probably is a bit to flashy though

 

[dslocal]

Ok figured it was time for an update, got a few things done,:naughty:
This showed up on my step a couple days ago...

Finished the cage for the most part,

Seats in and driver harness mounted (ran out of time for pass one tonight)

And built a new shroud for my radiator. Still can't decide if I want to use stainless braided hoses or not. To bling or not to bling. :biglaugh:

More to come too.

everything looks like its coming along...keep up the good build..... :evil2:

 

[dslocal]

Thanks a lot.
I should have some updates coming up this weekend.
Its amazing how much better the engine bay looks with all those holes gone.

 

[taysmehu]

Nice work:love:

 

[dslocal]

Hey thanks, I'll have some more updates at the end of this weekend, The whole interior is painted and I'm getting lots of parts in the mail. hahaha
I also found out that santa drives a brown truck, not a red sleigh.:icon_bigg

 

[stevenr816]

any updates?

that tube work is pretty interesting. its good, but mean interesting as in the rear tubes not going all the way to the rear. i like it

are these tubes welded together?

 

[dslocal]

yes those tubes are welded together. The shop I was working on my car in didn't have the mill in it to bevel the ends of the tube so I cut two pieces a little longer than I thought and took them back to my other shop and welded them together with our 300amp tig welder.
I have no doubt in the structural part of it however if I were to build it again I have the demensions to cut the tube in a straight piece so I wouldn't have to do that.
I didn't run those tubes all the way to the back because the amount of structural rigidity I would have gained was not important to me and also it would have been a pain in the ass to route them as close to the body as I wanted them.
So call me lazy but I am plenty happy with how it turned out.

 

[dslocal]

I need to try to get some recent pics. I am expecting to have the car running really soon.
Unfortunately I am going to have to drop the 1j back in because of time restraints. (leaving for school feb. 10th and I really want to take my car)
So in two years or so I will be dissasembling it again for possibly a dry sump 3.4 2j and something crazy. I haven't decided yet. hahaha

 

[dslocal]

Alright well heres a little update. Unfourtunately I didn't finish it in time to take it to school with me:nono:
I need to remake the mounts for the fuel rail and figure out why the stupid headlights won't work but here is what I've done with the engine bay.
What you think? Some day I would really like to reanodize all of the blue parts of the an fittings black... anyone ever done that?

full 4" into twin 2.5"

And where its going to sleep until I get to come home for a weekend or two

I also turboed a honda civic last week that made 340 fwhp at 14 psi out of a stock b-16:biglaugh: (working on pictures)

 

[honestabe]

Wow, that looks amazing. Interesting how you did the catch can.

 

[SURUKO]

Cheaper alternative might be to just buy the black fittings and replace the blue ones. Idk how the pricing on anodizing is but i thought it was pretty expensive.

 

[dslocal]

Wow I was not expecting this to be brought back up again. lol. The car is completely apart again... I started getting some wrist pin noise from #4 and decided to ditch the 1j I am now using a 2jz Ge block and head. And I am doing a v-mount setup. I'll get some new pictures.

Planemos I am sorry but I have no pictures of the ducting under the dash. It is all going to be redone again to fix a few minor bugs I had with it.
Probably going to start a new build thread as the car is getting some major changes all around.

^Hvyman I was looking at the fittings I have and they are going to be almost impossible to disassemble however I also talked to a anodizer here locally and he quoted me 40 bucks to do them all (each new fitting is over 10$) plus I kinda want to do the new intercooler too...

 

[hvyman]

Damn thats cheaper than i thought.

You going to anodize the intercooler? How much is that? That would be super sick.
