my 86.5 build

[Chris86.5]

so i have an 86.5, i thought i should make a build thread to see what you all think.

i have a thread already in general chat about taking out my stock sound deadener and i decided to just do picture updates in here.

so this is my car

this is my brothers car my competition HAHAHA

except he is putting a h22a1 in it so it'll be fast.

k so back with my supra, i started taking out the stock sound deadener about a week or 2 ago here are some pictures of the process.

k now today i finally finished taking it all out so here are some pics of all the tar out and its vacuumed.

the back bench

the drivers side

the passenger side

so when i first took out the interior i got a good look at the floor, and very little rust, only rust i found was this little hole which i will patch up

k so now to the engine, this car was an n/a obviously and it was siezed solid,

this is the engine

now i bought an 89 turbo and the engine had a knock, me and my dad were pulling the engine, and he was detaching the exhaust and drive train, and he found out that the bottom was all rusted(pretty bad to).

so we pulled that engine and sold the body, so we pulled my 86.5 in and we pulled the engine. so now we have 2 non working engines. We were considering just doing either the 1jz or 2jz swap, but we dont have the money, so we decided on doing the N/A-T conversion, so we bought a 7mge engine from tiger japanese motors in toronto.

here is the new engine

and here is my engine bay which was filled with sludge and mud, but now its clean

updates to come soon.

Looking good keep the pictures coming. So are you doing the Na/T with the turbo electronics ect??? Lots of Na guys will love this tread if thats the case. Good luck with everything and keep us posted..........................:icon_bigg

 

[Chris86.5]

ya thats wha i plan on doing is the na/t.


then over the summer im going to get forged pistons, probably new exhaust system. because right now i have a ractive exhaust its 3" straight pipe, and im running n/a pistons which i probably will only be running 6 psi of boost, which i want more.

 

[TobyCat]

Nice one. This is what I want to do over the winter with an NA my brother has. Keep us posted on what electronics you use etc.

 

[daledoe]

Nice project car!!!! I will be nice when its done.

 

[Chris86.5]

yeese i will be updating every time i work on the car

oh and MHG came in today

 

[89Joe]

Sweet project you got going! Look forward to seeing the progress you'll be making with N/a-t conversion, so keep us posted! :thumbup:

 

[daledoe]

[Chris86.5]

k so i started taking apart the engine

here are the valves

took off the 7M-GE cover and the timing belt

and here is the driver side of the engine

some more parts off the engine

and some parts in front of my brothers H22A1

here is the dass it has a brushed alluminum place thingy

my carpet that i cleaned up, it was stained pretty badly but i scrubbed it and pressure washed it, and it looks pretty good

here is my good ol' stock ic that im putting back in, yes i do want to get a better one but that wont come for a while

my seats that i also cleaned up

and this is the turbo head that is being put onto the engine, we might change the valves though

 

[Chris86.5]

k so i got new pictures again today.

yesterday my dad sorta took the head off without which he was very sneaky about it. so here are pictures of the block

the block is pretty dirty, ill be cleaning it up and i am going to paint it, i just dont know which color yet

and here are some more pics of the head/valves, they just look so beautiful haha

so now its down to the block, now comes parts cleaning. so my engine will be nice and shiny and painted.

i took some more pics of just miscellaneous parts that came with my car.

i got a couple filters

and here are my rotors, i am going to be putting them on my car when t coes back from the spraying of the interior

 

[daledoe]

Are those the same rotors thats on e-bay The "BREMBO" rotors for like $120 or something???? If so they will get hairline cracks in them after time!!!

 

[mkiiSupraMan18]

*sigh*

NA/T pwns... All the power w/o the added cost of turbo insurance. :icon_bigg

 

[Chris86.5]

i dont knwo about the brakes, if they are off ebay. i didnt buy them they came with the car

 

[daledoe]

O' There not bad but they do start cracking eventualy

 

[Chris86.5]

the rotors on the car at the moment are still good, also so if those ones crack and are bad ill just switch them out.

also my breakpads are brand new almost, and he bought these ebc breakpads, so ya lots of spare parts so no worries

 

[Chris86.5]

k so its been a few weeks, i dont have any pics yet but i will have them soon.

so i have the oilpan off, the block is pretty much bare, the crank shaft is the only thing that is on the block i am pretty sure.

i got my acoustic sound dampener material, i went with b-quiet. i am getting some bedliner to spray in the cab, and then ill put the b-quiet in, so i pretty much have all the stuff all i need to do is get off my ass and get workin.
