My restoration project - Rusty 89

[SURUKO]

great build ......... talk with some of the guys here you can make your adaptor a bolt on kit i'm sure some of the guys here will wanted one ..... a new modification to 7m supras intake with the look of a jz series engine.... good luck with your car...

 

[Poodles]

Yep, lower intercooler pipe and radiator pipe are a bit of a tight squeeze.

What about a fan shroud?

 

[adampecush]

I'll be modifying the stock fan shroud to fit around the pipe. Obviously, the AC fans will no longer be part of the car...I'm pretty confident the upgraded radiator will more than make up for their absence though.

Where are you going to mount the alternator after you install the intercooler pipping?

 

[Poodles]

Could use a pusher fan in the place of the aux. fans... forgot if you're running A/C still...

 

[adampecush]

Where are you going to mount the alternator after you install the intercooler pipping?

I made a simple relocation bracket for it.

 

[akito]

I like your setup, seems like your not using the stock radiator, same ac location and relocation of the alternator. Also, your FFIM with IC route clear all that. Impressive. I guess you dont have to relocate the battery right? Thats the type of FFIM im looking for.

 

[j3pz]

bump for a car that deserves the attention.

how did you clean the NA PS reservoir? cant what to see some quality photos

 

[adampecush]

yep, no relocation of the battery required. I just need to figure out a better throttle lever design for the Q45 tb...as the lever hits the hood as it currently sits.

I cleaned the PS reservoir in an ultrasonic cleaning bath using a detergent solution. I cleaned the majority of my parts this way.

While I haven't managed to work on the car in the last little while, here is a list of the next things to be done:

Powder coat IC pipes and valve covers, install
Install new engine wiring harness
Install OEM turbo R lip
Finish throttle body install

MMmmmmm. FFIM does all the right things to me. Just makes the engine bay make sense.

 

[adampecush]

I'm hoping I'll get some work done this weekend as it is supposedly going to surpass the 0C mark...

are you one of the unfortunate ones falling into the "discontinued" category?

apparently there are still another 6 of mine left kicking around in US warehouses.

yes i am Pre89, i found a some what good condition 91 harness that im going to use to make my exsisting harness like new I would love to have that black cover that goes across the valve covers.

I hope someone starts making harnesses, like they do for the Z, and old muscle car guys.

That harness sure is purty. I've got a 91 automatic and should really splurge for one, if they have it.

Adam, are you going to have this on the road this season? I've waited patiently for two winters and then some and I really don't know how much more I can stand. Honestly....:biglaugh:
