Mike, that's a good idea. She should be done by then and filled with 2 Supras, my truck plus at least 4 motorcycles. Damn, I already need a bigger garage!!!
Leecheater's rebuild, getting there
- Thread starter leecheater
- Start date
Football > Warm cars. lol

Or some studded tires on my dirt bike.
LOL. I have NO ROOM for my supra (or ANY car) in my awkward shape and sized garage! Too many motorcycles and other "engined" stuff to clear a car spot! DOH!
...fortunately, I've got a rental garage for it, just a hassle to go and get it, etc... and often leave it under my oak tree BESIDE the garage so it's handy when working on the Supra!
Can't wait to get my addition built, complete with new SHED!
Hmmm... at last count, I have around 9 or 10 ENGINED vehicles IN the garage... and another 3 outside the garage NOT including the cars and truck! MORE SHED, PLEASE!

Latest on my build. 2 weeks ago, we pulled off the Comp 67. We sent her back to Comp for the billet wheel they owed me and to get a anti-surge housing, and turbo check over.
Next we pulled off the exhaust manifold. I had several exhaust leaks last summer. The manifold was planed flat. It was pretty irregular shaped according to the machinist. We also fixed a brake line leak. (No wonder I didn't have the kind of braking my Wilwoods should have had!!) The line was under the exhaust manifold and so we couldn't see it.
Today the turbo showed up. Photos below. New billet wheel, and new exhaust wheel as well. The anti surge housing is a plane Jane compared to the Precision ones I have seen.
We are also wrapping downpipe and perhaps most of the manifold with titanium wrap
We also stripped off any thing else on that side of engine bay and primed her. Tonight Sean will spray some high temp paint and by this weekend we should begin assembly.Gonna be real interesting with the billet wheel, spool valve, no exhaust leak and a decent tune. She should be over 700 rwhp if not more.

Shop/poopra looked great last night Dan, thanks again for letting me use your shop.
You gonna have Shane tune this thing when its all back together?

Mike, yes, Shane will hopefully be tuning her late March or early April.
I.J. No, I do not. Where can I get one? I want those on tight and not coming loose.

Got mine from the place that sells the ties Dan, it's a Steel version of a normal cable tie tool so tensions and cuts them.
I have the bottom one, really speeds things up and means less cuts!

Dan, have you considered getting that manifold ceramic coated? Depending on the quality of the metal used and the welds, I have heard of many people with tubular manifolds cracking once wrapped. What brand is it?
IJ.- I looked at your link. They don't give those away!
Mike, I have thought of the coating, but its around $120 bucks. The manifold came with the car when I bought the black Supra from Casio. My thoughts are if it cracks, I will spend the cash and get a decent one. We only plan on 3/4 wrapping it. We need to leave room to put on the nuts and be able to tighten them.

Mmmmm Dan that turbo looks sexytime x2! You're making me want to spend the $325 to get the 62mm upgrade for my own turbo!
Thanks Steve, I also think it looks real nice. Comp did what they had promised me a year ago. Free billet upgrade and damn good price on the anti surge housing. Basically looks brand new.

heck it is practically brand new, new compressor and exhaust wheel and an anti surge for a very low price! Comp ftw! Now I am hoping we pick up a few ponies!

$120?!?! Holy Hell. I can gaurantee you Primo Performance in New Brighton can do it for about half that. I think they charged me $100 to ceramic coat AND port my cast manifold on the Talon last year.
Mike, working on those inferior car species is typically cheaper than these premium Toyota super cars!!! ):
