Ron, Nice

 

[group a supra]

looks good sir

 

[jt2ma71]

Haha... Ron, what turbine housing are you running on the GT42R, T4 or T6? You might have answered this earlier but I didn't really want to have to read up on 20 pages to find it...

T4

 

[thagr81_us]

Cool... Whenever you get it up and running I was curious if you could share the spool characteristics with me for the turbo. I too, have been looking into purchasing one for my project.

2 gal. oil tank...



Block lapping...

Block lapped...notice the clean edges of all the holes. I de-burred them too.



Will start the oil pan soon...

Ron: What compounds/Grits did you use?

How smooth was the finish when you were all done and roughly how long did it take?

100 grit for the block. Takes 1-2 hours depending on how smooth it was from the machine shop. I stop lapping when all machining marks are gone.

BTW, I prepped the block last night with some metal cleaner and metal conditioner. I primered it this morning and will most likely spray the color tonight

My power enterprise bearing set also showed up so I can put the bottom end together probably tomorrow.

I hate you Duane :cry: Aren't you supposed to be polishing your manifold?

This is "mazda classic red", not chevy orange.

I like the mutiple large Oil drains in the deck!
(something a little lacking in the 7M)

 

[Jaguar_5]

Looking great!

I have a question for you, i've been looking for hi-temp paints, and all i can find is the Duplicolor spray paint!

Did you buy that stuff localy? Care to share where you got it?

Wesco autobody. Not hi-temp. But acrylic urethane or enamel will work. Just use epoxy primer and prep the block right. I used the same stuff on my datsun/nissan block (15 plus years) and it is still on there. I used it on my 7m too. If you want engine block hitemp specific paint, Dreamer's Rods and Trucks has them here in Everett. POR 15 is the brand name.

 

[Insidious Surmiser]

well, i just now read this entire thread, and i had seen pics of the 2jz blocks somewhere else before... but i had no idea you were building an engine set up for your car... it's truly amazing thought... good luck w/ the project, and i'm happy to hear you'll be using a r-154 :biglaugh:

 

[oldskool-nick]

well, i just now read this entire thread

Same here, and damn, you rock. I cannot even fathom how much research and work has gone into this project so far. I know how much work it is to build even a mildly upgraded motor, so props to you!

LOL I couldn't as Ron was painting block

[supra90turbo]

Ron, that's pretty cool about the radiator. I plan the same thing!
Mine won't be dual pass though....
Who built it?

 

[soapra]

very nice Ron! Maybe you will make it to Vegas?

 

[jt2ma71]

Vegas? As long as it gets done (running with no issues and tuned) before then, I'll be there.

Installed crankshaft and pistons/rods last night.
Pro-Gram billet mains with Power Enterprise bearings
Carrillo Rods and Jun/Cosworth pistons.
