**MK3 Supra / 1uzfe / Single Turbo Build Thread Part 2!**

Ahh, ok, when I was doing my manual rack the idea came up to put a second u-joint in when the heat shield had a collission with the steering shaft, but a quick tap with a hammer fixed the shield enough.

When you get things mocked up a little more could you post/send some pics of the dp routing vs the engine mount and header from different angles? I have some ideas, but seeing is believing.

my heat shiel rubs ever so slightly.

 

[RedPhoenix]

Well I have no heatshield, its SCH10 piping rubbing the rack lol. The downpipe... I relocated the mount stand to the passenger side a few inches (basically as far as it can go) and made a new mount to go to that location. It pitches the mount over more so its not in the way at all. No pics of this yet, but soon I will post it. It gives me a lot more room. There is also a tab on the front engine cover plate that needs to be cut off (its used to hold the alternator in the stock location). After that it looks like I can fit the 4" DP carefully but with some room...

 

[RedPhoenix]

Alright so I test fit the engine with the modified frame rails... besides needing to modify the engine mounts again, it all fits... So I started to do the welding. May not look like a lot... but trust me... it was no such thing.

 

[RedPhoenix]

Okay, this was a whole lot of WTF... but the front subframe started to seperate? lol no idea, but when you bang the subframe again, the 2 stamped steel pieces move between each other, so I clamped them back together and welded them together... I guess I will do more on the subframe to strengthen it, but for now...

 

[RedPhoenix]

Alright, so my buddy sent over a pic of my modified oil filter housing.. basically machined it down to the base and welded 2 -10an fittings to it... First set in my oil system...

So I looked at how much room I have..... and I have none! So I had to cut and modify my driver side manifold to clear my alternator which needed to be moved to clear the oil fittings... I got a pulley off my friends 20v MR2 that works great on this alternator.

And then to get the ball rolling and moving... I modified my rear sub frame with 3/16" steel and 1.75" DOM tubing.. reinforcing it to prevent ANY cracking. Also Quantum Auto solid billet aluminum sub frame bushings.

Little dry ice makes everything so much easier...

And the finished product.

Enjoy for now...

Some more pics of some goodies... no progress since last post... waiting on some bolts int he mail for the subframe.

However...

My shaved water bridges... kept the original temp sensor (now wishing I relocated it but whatever) and the rear bridge has the spot for the coolant sensor for the MS3x... other than that its cleaned up... and also turned down the head of the bolt for the bleeder to clear the FFIM better...

Some of my oil goodies... -10an all around... relocation, adapter and cooler...

And the start of version 3 of my motor mounts.. using poly bushings.

Wow, good stuff. Where did you find that oil cooler? It looks like mine!

Places where dreams are made. Ebay lol. Had the oil filter relocation stuff since I turbo'd my Camry back in 2005.

 

[4U2QUIK]

turbo camry eh? I was thinking more like 1uz camry fwd lol.

lol yeah here...

Jeeze, that looks like it could have came that way from Toyota.

Wasnt the camery all-Trac turbo?

 

[RedPhoenix]

Wasnt the camery all-Trac turbo?

They didnt come with the 3sgte. They were NA also. All the turbo stuff is off a MR2 turbo... S block, everything bolts on for the most part.

 

[4U2QUIK]

nice, I'll have to remember that. mine's only gt 64k original miles so a little boost couldn't hurt hahahah nice job , def looks clean as factory.

 

[RedPhoenix]

Passnger side... Its a little weird because I had to relocate the mount stand on the subframe... But its strong as hell.

Driver Side is complete... No bushings on it and the subframe side is not in the pics.. but this is the part that goes to the engine.

Adjusted the vband and collector to allow the alternator to fit... Here is it sort of together...

Easy way to get some pipe that is just a little smaller then the vband to fit...

Oh... And some nice mock up... since the engine bay will be a lot of piping, I need to route everything before I start to weld it up... The turbo sits 10 degree clock wise to allow the cold side to clear the frame rail easily... And I just used a bunch of my 4" bends I have laying around to see what works... looks like it will be fairly easy.

 

[RedPhoenix]

Been awhile since I updated... new job = less time to work.. but it is what it is. Anyways, some pics over the last few weeks...

Start of my downpipe and the rest of the stuff......

More completed. Not sure I how I like the WG location... its the only way I can really get it to fit, but I prefer it a few inches closer... I dont foresee any issues with boost creep though, speak up if you do.

There is a bunch of photos on our FB page.

This link doesnt seem to work anymore. Any chance of an updated one?

 

[Chambers]

Nice, is it just a illusion or will that down pipe be very close to the crank pulley?

 

[RedPhoenix]

Should have around 1" of play
