I figure that its about time I make a build thread, especially since I started this project back in November :aigo:
I don't make much money and I'm still learning a lot as I'm going along, so this is a fairly modest build.
Overview:
Basics:
I am using my 7m-ge longblock with about 5k miles on a fresh rebuild (Toyota parts, machined head, ARP head studs, etc) and I will be using the high compression stock (but forged!) ge pistons, which should be interesting. I will be keeping the W-58 transmission with most likley a Spec stage 2 clutch. I will also be keeping the 4.30 open diff.
Turbo Stuff:
My turbo is a Garrett T04B that I bought over 2 years ago and embarassingly, I forget most of the specs on it. I'm almost positive it has a .59a/r and I know its the c-trim with a 3" inlet. I will be using a HKS cast manifold, XSpower external wastegate, Blitz BOV, and the stock intercooler with 2" piping. I will also be using a Golden Eagle vacuum manifold for all of my turbo accessories.
Fuel System:
I have a Walbro 255lph fuel pump, Bosch rising-rate FPR, and RC 550cc injectors. I also am using a 90degree -6an fitting for my feed and I retapped the rail for a 1/4" NPT fitting to go back to the pressure regulator.
Oil System:
I will be using an RX7 oil cooler, mainly because of the built-in thermostat (not to mention it's freakin' huge!), and an oil filter relocation kit. I used a -4an fitting to "T" off of the oil pressure sensor for my turbo feed, and I had a small plate welded into the pan with -10an fitting in it for the turbo return.
Engine Management:
I will be using the MAFT-Pro with the MAP sensor, IAT sensor, and boost controller for tuning. I'm also going to be getting either an AEM wideband or a LM-1, I haven't decided. Those 2 things are the only major things I still need to buy.
I think thats most of it, but I'm sure I forgot some things so I will update it as I remember them. I will probably be posting more pics than explanations, mainly because a lot of the pics are self-explanatory. But if you have any comments or questions, they are definatley welcome.
Now for the plethora of pictures! :boink:
