you guys are killing me here. I can take the shroud off and fix it and put it back on. MY engine seems to already have three fans. It has the large primary and what looks to be two secondaries. I just want to remove the shroud not the impression of christ left upon it. I also want to lose the dohc cover. Is this a good or bad thing. Again any comments are greatly appreciated.
Why though, WHY?
Toyota put that stuff there for a reason, so why take it off?
And the vlalve covers would not be a good idea to take off, and i wouldn't suggest the fan shroud either, once again the car is put that way for a simple reason.

I for one knew absolutly nuthing about supras before i bought one. I didnt know they had a turbo option untill i went online to find some info about the car.I had my chance to drop a gte in last year but by time i replaced everything that needed to be fixed along with dropin in a jdm ge i had spent $1400 plus labor so being able to squeeze the supporting stuff for the turbo motor was simply out of the question. So i set my targets on doing an na-t motor since my ge is good working condition.Since my goal is the "1/2" na- utilizing my wiring harness, distruber, and full electronics, i only need filler parts like; turbo, mani, intercooler,piping,bov, oil/coolant lines, downpipe and turbo elbow. Since christmas i have purchased a ct-26, mani, intercooler, and bypass valve.(all for under $200 i might add). So that only leaves me with a few parts to get.All in all i think when i finish collecting all the parts, i would have spent 8-$1000 on stock and upgraded parts.
Im tryin to give u some idea why somebody would go na-t as opposed to a full gte swap, and also my horsepower goals are very realistic,300whp so theres no need in a gte in my opinion for my goal
Everyone here knows toyota did shit to these cars for no other reason than to baffle future owners. I took the dohc cover off and the fan shroud. the fan shroud was in nearly four different pieces attached. So I don't regret taking it off and the car sounds even more quiet during idle. As for...., how does it drive this way? I don't know yet. I have to find out what is leaking on my clutch to make it spin. If after that...., I don't like it without the shroud, I'll super glue it back together and put it back on. As always, any comments are welcome and appreciated, mike oh and I feel ya fuzz
Every one does not know this. This is your opinion.supramacist said:
The reason it is quieter is because it is no longer pulling as much air through the radiator. Don't waste your time trying to glue it back together with super glue.

I think i might remove mine as well, and since I dont drive, ill take the wheels off to! And im thinking about the doors!
Itll be real light weight!
I think he is refering to the timing belt/cam gear cover. At least I hope to hell he is..
I would remove mine also except I live on a gravel road and one bad tribal bounce with a rock under the hood will kill a timing belt.. Also it's a safty issue for me as I like my fingers..

Yea, taking the valve covers off would be a very, very bad thing. What is the point of taking all of this shit off again?
I am talking about the timing belt cover and the fan shroud. You would be surprised at how much quieter the car runs without the fan shroud. The shroud was broken in 4 places. I'm surprised it was on at all. I am not so ignorant as to take the actual valve covers off. And the entire point is to clean out the engine bay of misc. things that don't do shit.
The shroud was getting into the fan. I am going to put the timing belt cam cover back on. as much as I like it off. It's very important. I'll tell you guys what I'm thinking. The passenger side fog lamp...., If removed can have a tube ran straight into your air intake this would create a ram air effect. yes/no? Remonve the charcoal filter. Run the hose and you can still use the stock k/n for 50$. But you lose that light. And you have to do it on the driver side as well. You just make it another cold air shot into the engine bay.
They have all of this shit blocked off?????????????????????? Maybe it's beter short as is? Hard to say.
