Well after almost a year of my car being down and wasting nearly $5000 on a supra that got stolen, Iv decided to start getting to work on my 92 TealMetallic supra. So Far I have order some parts and disassembly is done. No I just need order all the rest of the parts for it and put it together.
So here’s what I am shooting for when its all said and done...

The Plan

MOTOR:
JE pistons DONE
Eagle RodsDONE
HKS STOPPER HG
Ported Intake Ports
Port and Polished Exhaust Ports
AEM Cam Gears
FFIM
Unorthidox Racing Crank PullyDONE
T4 style Exhaust Manifold
40mm Waste gate
Turbonetics T70 BB or bigger
Q45TB
3” IC Pipes
4 Row FMICDONE
I would like to do MKIV coils

FUEL SYSTEM
16 GAL Fuel CellDONE
2 Aeromotive Fuel Filters (1 before and 1 after the pump)
A1000 Pump
8 AN Feed Line with check valve DONE
6 AN Return DONE
1000cc RC injectors
Aeromotive AFPR DONE
LIPP 8AN Dual Feed Rail

DRIVETRAIN
ACT 6 puck w/MAX PP
Fidanza Flywheel
1 Piece Aluminum Driveshaft

SUSPENSION
TEIN SS Coilovers
CUSCO Pillow Ball Mounts
A1 Rear Camber Kit
A1 Rear Toe Kit
A1 Rear Traction Arms
F & R Suspension Techniques Sway Bars
F & R CUSCO Strut Tower Bars
6 Point roll cage is a maybe.
Re-Enforced Rear Sub frame

EMS
Accel DFI

GAUGES
…none I hope

Now this isn’t a project that will be done in 2 months or anything like that. This is my long term goals of what I want my car to be like before its out driving around again. To make things easier for myself and more focused iv decided I am going to do my build section at a time. The motor is at the machine shop right now with the JE Pistons and Eagle rods. All the Machining to the block and head is being done by them. And I am also going to have the motor fully balanced too. I told the shop to take as much time as they need on it. Said I wont need it back till next summer most likely so there’s no need to rush anything. I am going to start with the Fuel system and work my way forward considering the motor going in will be the last step of this project. Any suggestions welcome. Ill try my best to keep updating this as I move on with this long project.

Its not some just some random shop. The guys almost like family to me. I worked for him for a pretty good period of time. He still has one of my cylinder heads with all the peices up there that i dropped off a year ago. I just keep forgetting to grab it everytime i go up there. It was a busted head i was practicing porting on.

well, my build bill just got alot more expen$ive. Gettin rid of the stock ECU and wire harness and switchin over to Accel DFI. That and i payed an extra $1000 to rent out an engine dyno for a day and have the motor tuned on it when its done. That way my car will actualy run like a stock factory car should when its done. He said hes going to tune two settings for me, on for on the street and one for on the track. With the build im doing if all goes as planned i should be lookin at 700+whp when its all said and done. FINALY doin somethin right. No more Piggy back, No more Lexuas AFM, No more idle surgeing, and HOPEFULLY no more blowin shit up. Only funny thing is iv put absolutly no thought into where im going to get a reliable 5 speed trans from. lol

Gl with the build :D should be exciting.. i'll one day get around to doing some semi-serious HP but not atm.

Could I ask what the Aluminium Driveshaft's go for approximately? I need to fix my center bearing on my 2PC so i'm trying to weigh the benefits.
