So anxious! You should've seen me when the UPS guy knocked on my door! lol! I got to the door so fast I scared the delivery guy!!! lol!
This is the first I've seen your build thread chris....fucking awesome man!
It's a shame more forum members haven't seen your car in person to fully appreciate how nice this car is!
Ps. Try not to spin out on frankford again...with your new turbo you end up plowing threw those houses lol...damn those wet roads!

Damn i wish i was mechaniclly inclined like you. I cant say my supra is a project car. Just needed new pulleys and bolts. Beautiful engine bay.

Thanks! That's the point of going to the supra meets
Get your facts right ey! It was Harrbison Ave. Those tires were complete shit!! But you're right I will probably need more traction now though hehe!:biglaugh: I'm a lot better with drifting now then i was at that time.

I used to be in the same position you were. That's why I sent my car to that shop the first time around. and boy did I learn MY lesson! I just read and researched everything before I did anything. With a lot of help from friends I got to this point. BTW...Pretty much supra at this point is a project car. There will always be something we will find to do to our cars.:biglaugh: Good luck on yours!

hehehe. thanks man! Hows yours coming along? Did you do that front conversion yet?
I think i fixed the oil leak. We shall see. To put the down pipe on I to do something with the coolant nipple at the back of the engine or else the downpipe will be touching it. If anyone had this problem, what did you do? What could I do? Cut it?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Intake, downpipe, intercooler piping is done. Took it out for a spin.The fans turn on automatically now! YAY! Gotta fine tune it though. It won't spool up though. I think I have the wastgate hooked up wrong. I'll have to look into that. I still have to fix the oil leak and the coolant leak. Then I have to finish the exhaust.
I bought a 5' Stainless Steel 3" straight pipe and two flanges. Just gotta get under there and measure the distance I need. I'll try to post some pics soon. Sounds so mean without the catback hooked up!!!!:evil2:

nose and bumper came off today waiting on intercooler piping before the new bumper and nose go on. im hoping this weekend i'll be able to drive her...fingers crossed.
I did get to go for a spin in a wicked IS300 today, ~400rwhp at only about 10lbs of boost:aigo:, and thats only the "low" setting!
keep up the good work cant wait for the next meet.... you going to the one in VA on the 29th?

Cool. can't wait to see it at a meet.
WOW only 10psi! NICE! Not sure if i'll be there for it. depends on how my car is running.
Hopefully julio and dave are running by then too. Maybe we'll have a lil caravan down there.
There is also a Philly Meet coming up. not exactly sure when it is yet.
So I fixed my exhaust problem. Fixed all of my leaks. *fingers crossed!!*
Took it out for a spin. Without the boost controller hooked up it went up to 7psi. Fans come on automatically now!!! :love: I can't wait to hook up the boost controller!:evil2:
I'll try to put up some video.

Make that I fixed one of my exhaust leaks. I still have one right off the engine. I need to drill out the hole on the manifold that doesn't line up with the head.
I'm also having a spool problem. It builds boost ridiculously slow with or without the EBC hooked up. Still the same. It only starts building boost around 5k rpm. I should be in full boost by atleast 4-45k rpm. Any ideas?
