Update had to take the head off to fix the head gasket. Took it apart the other day cleaned the gasket and resprayed all the layers with copper seal and bottom taped all the head bolt holes. Put the head on a torqued the head down to 75 pounds and called it a night. Well tonight I got back at it and put everything else on that I could.
well I did that na-turbo swap the other day. Took 12 hours had to cut and wire the turbo 87 auto tranny for the clutch switch and revers lights. Dropped it in and hooked it all back up and I took out the efi fuse and turned the key over several times. Then put the fuse back in an it started after the 3 time. Such a feeling know you built this and now its alive. Then I found a gas leak the first injector was broke in the middle so petrol was spraying out got that swapped out. Then started it again and found a oil leak. It was 2 in the morning so we called it a night. the next day I went back to my friends place to take the turbo off to get to the oil return took me 2 hours to get the down pipe and turbo off with a 14 wrench. Got a egr gasket the same size as the oil return gasket put some fipg on it and bolted it back up. Also got a new o-ring for the oil filter adapter. Then started it up and still had a oil leak. Shit was pissing me off so I had a buddy of mine start the car while I was under it and found the prob. It was this plat that bolts to the blot right under the oil filter it has a M on it there was no gasket. So I made one and put some fipg on it and slapped back on waited a few hours then started it up and she is good to go.

Update the head gasket I used started linking out for the layers down the side of the block. So I pick up a hks 1.2mm for 100 on the forums. Took it apart yesterday only took two and a half hours. Cleaned all the copper shit off and got the block surface and head surface all cleaned and smooth. All so got some ARP ultra torque for the head blots and washers. Needed a 1/2 to 3/8 reducer for my torque wrench so going to finish the head tomorrow. Going to go to 90 pounds this time in 3 passes.
Picked up a 3in down pipe stock elbow with 3in strait pipe and my blitz muffler. the car sounds good haven't got on it yet still doing the break in to 3k miles no hard pulls. but I can tell it going to be fast.
Not going with the DDP because I traded it for the 3in down pipe and strait pipe plus I would have to modify it to work on the supra didn't fit.

So I had the day off and wanted to put my evo 8 560cc injectors in today. Had the clips and some brake clean so I gave it a go. Solder every wire from the harness to the new mitsi clips I picked up from the junk yard oem style. Also that coolant hose that goes into the tb and out to the IAC then out to the bottom of the intake manifold I by passed all that and hooked them up together worked out good.
Had to take the little tabs off to clear the mitsi clips
