Haha... well not much to take pictures of. Its been a lot of loose ends... starting to tie up.
First off, the subframe is mounted in... got most of the bushings done (traction arm isnt complete in the following picture..). I had to buy new eccentric cam bolts for the arms. Very pricey, but it needs to come off jackstands eventually! I picked up Tokico Illumina rears locally for $50 to match my fronts which came on the car. So I finally have a matching complete spring/shock combo.. H&R and Tokico Illuminas... good enough for now! Ordered some parking brake parts which I broke or age broke. Diff is fully rebuilt and installed... axle cv's have been repacked... it was not my intention to do it, but I knocked the cover plate off, so I was forced to do so
In this pic if you look closely you can see the 1.75" DOM tubing that helps brace the subframe. (above axle)
Bought a modified Porsche oil thermostat. Has -10an fittings already welded on.. not bad for $50... opens at 175* or so like every other one.
Bought another 4" SS Vband assembly... and bought some silver -10an hose ends to see if I like this color theme... Nice thing about silver, they wont show scratches... bad this is its kind of boring... I just feel black may scratch too fast/bad if I need to take it off without tape or anything.
I bought a 1uzfe VVTI engine with a BHG for $100... I will eventually build this engine up for the Supra... but for now, it sits... because it was such a good deal, I had to buy it haha...

Alright its been awhile since I updated. Besides being busy like everyone excuse... I have been having troubles with my downpipe. I cannot fit the size I want through the subframe without just hitting everything in the way. Its partially due to the manifold design. So instead of making new manifolds and wasting more time and money, I will be bumper dumping the exhaust. Yes it will be loud, but I will be making a smaller sized muffler fit without it being noticable along the way. This will allow me to run the stock location of my steering rack (had to lower it because of the DP) and stock mount location (had to move it for the DP).
So I picked up an 89+ subframe for $50 locally and started to get everything ready to go to make new mounts etc.
Cut a lot of pie cuts to make my tight radius bumper dumper... so when I have time this weekend I will start to work on this. I went 3.5" this time.. I didnt feel 4" was needed (except to have bragging rights) and it was really tough to fit through the subframe.. so I got 3.5" and now im having it go out the bumper anyways..... so... since its nice clean fresh tubing, 3.5" dump.
I sold my SC400, but managed to keep the JIC seats... so those will be going in the Supra... The interior of the Supra will be black.
And I got my Quantum Auto Feramic Clutch w/ 2050lbs clamping pressure on the pressure plate.
So thats it for now, luckily since this DP will be resolved like so, the engine will go in as soon as I receive my clutch.... once I get everything squared away in the engine bay, I will fill the holes, make some custom heat shields, paint the bay blitz black and put all the **** back in.. again... lol.

Its been awhile - Super busy... but stuff it starting to come together.
I got my -12an fitting welded to my oil pan, resealed that. A new-to-me 89+ subframe + poly mounts was installed. Feramic 6 puck solid disk + 2100lbs pressure plate on a steel flywheel was put on. I heat wrapped the manifolds (this sucks since it never wants to lay flat on a non flat surface) but I did my best. Still need to get SS ties for the driver side. Buttoned the W58 up (for the time being while my R154 gets built). Welded a 3.5" (from 4") vband onto the turbo and chamfered the leading edge to the flange. This gives me more room to work with. Using 94-95 Camry COPs with Bosch 211 controllers for the MS3x... Just awaiting some exhaust nuts and I can test fit the real engine in... should be no issue (except maybe the steering linkage... but we shall see).
Enjoy the slew of pictures... no particular order...

Almost no effort to put the engine in... that was a great feeling!
I wanted to test fit and get everything good in the car before I paint the engine bay. Last thing I want to do is weld all holes shut and need to drill new ones.. or have to hammer the firewall or something... Enjoy for now... more to come

Started to build my downpipe. I am really proud of how this is looking. Its all SS304 3.5" tubing, pie cut bends. This will eventually be heading towards the bumper.... but enjoy for now
Alright here we go. Ordered 325ft of wire to start on the engine harness...
And I also got a crazy bulk deal on 12an and 10an fittings.... So I started to lay those out...
I ordered connectors for my RX7 injectors... going to buy some rebuild kits and do the rebuild and cleaning on my own... cause thats how I effin role.

1UZFE SWAP DUDE!!!
Okay well here is another update. Not too much went on... Learned some stuff.
I rebuilt my injectors (well I still need 2 more to buy) with Mr. Injector parts. I cleaned them out, back flushed it etc... cost me $50 instead of $160. Good alternative IMO.
I bought new injector connectors and coil connectors. (nothing worse than broke ass connectors)
Found that Garret parts bolt on to the HX52. Also I found an "elongated hole" T4 gasket that fits my T4i bolt pattern. Super lucky since I cannot find the gasket for this turbo.
The rest or misc photos of the wiring.
