improved's build: 1989 Toyota Supra Turbo, R-154.
- Thread starter improved
- Start date
I'm finally updating this build. Like everyone else, I go to work full-time, I go to college full-time, and I have a serious girlfriend full-time, so I have little Supra time!
As some of you might know I've given up on my 7m and am parting out all my 7M performance parts and motor. This means one thing...
I'M GOING 1J!
I purchased OneJoeZee's 1J.
As soon as I sell the 7M stuff, I'll begin the engine refresh and swap. The reason I'm waiting are the logistics. I don't want parts here and there swamping my garage.
Plans are to:
CT-26 the motor(is that one step back,)
replace all hoses, seals, and necessary gaskets.
New IC piping
Buy a JZ stock manifold(Bore and polish)
Pulley set(Driftmotion)
Metal Line kit(Driftmotion)
AFPR KIT
Wideband Kit
(I need to find a 1J oil adapter plate for my full flow kit, that I was going to use for my 7M...Where do I get one?)
Refresh the 1J'z wiring harness(Dropping it off at Aaron's.) Rewrap and protect. Give it the good once over, if you know what I mean.
Remove AC(I daily my Z, so I don't care.)
I'll post progress pics this weekend...I'll finally have time in life to work on the car.
Anyone have advice...? Critique? Dare I ask opinion?

Yes, I did. Although, it was done differently than I envisioned, it simply wasn't what I was going to do. I didn't plan to change the appearance of the car from the outside so dramatically. I planned for the changes to be visual from inside the car, creating a tunnel affect. I also wanted to reduce "ugly tint syndrome" in the quarter windows. Perhaps, delete was too strong of a word, maybe I should have said "interior rear quarter fill-in upholstered with SUPRA embroidered in White lettering."

Lilazn....consider your manifold sold. It would be nice to get that manifold. Also I seen you deleted your rear wiper, what did you use to plug the hole. This is assuming you didnt have it dodone at a shoppe.
Before I finish, where are sandwich adapter plates for the 1J, with sensor plugs for my oil pressure gauges?
