I will. What type of turbo are you going to run? It appears to me that this manifold is designed to specifically run an on-center turbine housing.
That's why I needed 1 full inch of T4 spacer added in. Just something to consider.

Today, I picked up a new coil pack harness, and cut it all up, and made it into an IS300 harness.

lots of progress

 

[hvyman]

I'd rather spill brake fluid than diff fluid. smells so bad.

Amen. Brake fluid cleans up easy as well.

Love where the progress has gotten too. How do think till its on the road again?

 

[supraguy@aol]

Running in 1-2 months, completed and driving in about 9-12 months, would be my guess.
I make very conservative guestimates, nowadays.
I remember when I started on the car last April, thinking I'd be done by September, lol.

Well I was going to run a Holset HX40 on it (T4 divided, 17cm exhaust housing) with a SP QSV. The QSV is 3/4" thick and would be about what I need. I've been thinking about selling it and going PT6766 though.

What ignition wires do you have with your IS300 conversion?

 

[Grandavi]

Let me know if your selling the QSV

 

[Zumtizzle]

What ignition wires do you have with your IS300 conversion?

Look like NGK

 

[supraguy@aol]

Look like NGK

 

[1986.5supra_kid]

hmmm qsv on hx35? lol

 

[Moy]

Let me know if your selling the QSV

Lol I don't even have the QSV yet. I meant the HX40 haha. The hotside is too big and trying to fit a 4" DP back there is going to be a pain

Got a few exhaust parts in, but not enough to begin fabrication, so no Supra work today.

Ok, I found a small project to work on this evening.
I finally finished fiddling around with my instrument cluster, and got the coolant overtemp light installed:

This thing simply flashes if I exceed 220 degrees at the thermostat housing. If you'll recall, i put one in for my oil pressure as well:

Lol. You can tell I drive a 7M, when I have to constantly worry about low oil pressure and high coolant temps.

Oh- and here's the exhaust parts I got today- a Precision 3 5/8" flange/ Vband, and a 3.5-3" reducer.

 

[1986.5supra_kid]

so what did you do for a pressure sensor? thinking about adding a secondary oil pressure guage thats mechanical just to verify the stock one. seeing as it never goes over 40psi. just right below it.

Dost thou not readeth ALL that mine thread doth offer thee???

Something like this.

[Orion ZyGarian]

I wouldnt recommend a mechanical oil pressure gauge. For obvious reasons

 

[supraguy@aol]

Me either.
But mine is just an idiot light.

 

[Orion ZyGarian]

I love that idea too btw!

 

[1986.5supra_kid]

obivious reasons being that this oil in a metal hose to a guage?
