I keep going back in time! Finally found a mkiii--meet crimson tide
- Thread starter KenHenderson
- Start date
Btw talking about rare HKS parts. I have a twin turbo manifold set for the 7M that might be from HKS.
It looks like the HKS kit but the HKS letters in casting are not there. So it might be a HKS kit unless there were other companies that copied their kit which I have never heard about.

Thank you, Kristian. I can use the link you posted to see if I can source my unicorn HKS 54-trim sport turbo upgrade for the MA70 (fits on OEM exhaust manifold for those unfamiliar with this turbo).

HKS did make one other MA70 IC too. I have this one in my 92:
GL locating the HKS sport turbo! I think the only one I know of remains on Chris Jensen's Supra up here.

There's at least one other one in Arizona. This was the car I tried and failed to buy before I came across Crimson Tide (mentioned in my OP). It's an 87T that has the most impressive lineup of HKS parts I've seen. Still coming up empty, but I'll keep trying. The car drives great as is so I can afford to be patient, though I am impatient by nature

I do not frequent the Japanese Yahoo auctions, so please let me know if you ever come across the HKS MA70 54-trim sport turbo upgrade (fits on OEM exhaust manifold). Acquiring one would complete my vision of the car from an HKS perspective. TIA,
Ken.
I believe this is what your looking for? May ask him if he still has it for you to buy? I have his number. I believe this is a BB turbo and has zero play in it. Looks damn near new!

suprapilot,
You are unbelievable! That is exactly what I am looking for!! First, my FMIC and now, hopefully, the turbo I have spent every day looking for. Please PM me his number, as the listing has ended. Many thanks in advance whether or not this works out. Come to SIV and you won't have to buy any beer. It will be all on me.
Ken.

Hehe I have eyes and ears everywhere. Your in luck Ken! He has it's and he's in Long Beach. I saw the kit it's MINT and the turbo seems like it's new no joke!
I'm PMing you his info now.
All I want is a ride in the car after it's fully HKS just to feel what I never had the chance to bank in the 90s.

suprapilot,
LOL, dude, you do have eyes and ears everywhere! A ride is on me, for sure. We're both in SoCali, so that shouldn't be too difficult to arrange. Got your PM. Many thanks for the info. I hope to be able to inspect everything in person this coming week after the seller gets back in town on Tuesday.
My car is already under the knife so, if all goes well, I can pick this kit up and get it installed instead of reinstalling the turbo, et. al that came with the car. Again, if all goes well, I would be able to finish the car in one fell swoop, which was my intention all along. We'll see, and I will keep you posted. Thanks again.
Ken.
Just read the thread... Very clean car and detailed work along with the best performance parts!
Gongrats and keep up the good work on this mint Supra!

THIS is mine (!): http://www.ebay.com/itm/Toyota-Supr...SfiOL%2FEqTgvqyTL0krA%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc. Thanks again suprapilot. I absolutely could not have done this, or the HKS FMIC, without you! Time to complete Phase II and the car will be DONE.
Ken.

KenHenderson;2086767 said:
Did you get it?? I got a texted on Tuesday that he was waiting for your call? I was traveling so it sounds like you did pick it up?
It was my pleasure!
Can't wait to see Phase II!
suprapilot;2086524 said:
Dude! That's probably the best find I've seen in awhile.
Congrats Ken!!!

Yes, I got it. I actually worked through a friend, REYESSUPRA, who picked it up for me since he was in the area and we both did not want to lose out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity as it relates to 2017.. I was spooked by ALMOST losing out on the FMIC and the seller was not in town until this past Tuesday. Roger, my buddy, picked up the kit for me yesterday and dropped it off at SP Engineering for me. I beat it down there this morning as soon as SPE opened (in pouring rain). As you told me, and Roger reiterated on the phone while making the deal for me, the kit is mint! According to the seller, the kit has, at most, 10k miles on it (likely less) and its condition shows it.
The seller is a wonderful MKIII enthusiast, VERY knowledgeable from a technical standpoint and, like most of us, wants to see our special cars, or special parts, go to a good home if events require their selling. I can't wait to show him the car in which this kit will be installed. I really have to pinch myself. First the FMIC and, now, the HKS MA70 Sport Turbo Upgrade, complete in all its glory. Hope to finish up Phase II in the next week or three. Got some good progress pics today.
Ken.

Thanks, guys. Your posts describe exactly how I'm feeling.

Very nice! Here are a few tips to make sure the you have a reliable motor. These are essential must do items.
Oil cooler kit thermostat based. Make oil pressure go. Drift Motion sells a very nice kit.
New oil pump molly coated and clearanced tighter. DM sells one as well.
Special larger washers for the ARP bolts or studs that keeps the washer from slowing sinking in the head and losings torque over time which is why HGs fails. I know someone who sells them on FB which fit in the 7m head.
Another nice upgrade would be changing the piston oil squirters with new ones. The old ones lose tension and open much to soon which causes pressure lose. You can changed them without remove the engine by dropping the pan.
