Rennats Rebuild Thread

[Rennat]

So im rebuilding my 1990 Supra turbo that i bought for $700. You probably saw my other thread... but in case you didnt, here are the pictures again!

Parts List

Parts that came with the car - New Starter. New Oil Pressure Sender. The engine may have been rebuilt... but i have no idea. im 90% sure its a JDM engine. Brand new OEM Fan shroud. New hoses everywhere, except for the one that was on the back of the engine that i snapped removing the engine... Newer clutch kit(if your looking for a super cheap clutch setup pm me) The rear main seal was covered in gasket maker which just means that the people who did the swap sucked at engine work...

Bunch of machine work thats going to cost a lot!
Clevite Bearings
ARP Head Studs & Main Studs
Eagle Rods
Probe Pistons .40 over - Purchased
Southbend street series clutch - Purchased
HKS Headgasket
Gates Timing Belt
Full Gasket Set
Water Pump
Drift Motion Oil Hose
and then i also have some new bushings for the rear that were never put on the other supra

Here are the pictures, enjoy.

Got the head off, NO BHG what so ever... who ever did the HG job didnt use the toyota torque specs either. haha. But i do think it was rebuilt, as one of the pistons still has the area where carbon hasnt taken over....

Pictures after i get home from class.

#4 was the lucky rod... and my god did it eat it... not much left, pictures of that will be up soon, and i also need a 7m crank now since mine has a fuckin 6m...

and probably an oil pump too... but yeah.

 

[ILikeCarsYesIDo]

My old block has a 7M crank in it.

 

[Rennat]

You sir got a PM!

 

[ilikebigbutts]

damn perfect project!clean rust free body...i would kill for that.

 

[Rennat]

I bought it less than 24hours after i saw it on craigslist!
and the burgandy is starting to grow on me... i found a set of tenzo rims that i think would match nicely... but rims are a long way away...

BIG Thanks go ilikecaryesido hes donating a 7M Crank to the cause! and an un-knocked one too!!! Pick it up saturday!

So now i just have to find a machinst with a torque plate for the 7M-GTE... shit....

 

[Rennat]

Got my clutch. And you cant tell the difference between the dxd one and the OEM one, but the dxd one has "beefier" stuff "guts" underneath...

 

[labrat469]

At least your bearing was still there. Piston number 5 bearing was nowhere to be found on my motor. Well I did find shards of it but that was about it.

Good luck on the rebuild.

What stage did you get? I just got my OFE STGIII, very impressed with the quality. Can't beat their prices for the holding power they provide either. Build is coming along well, keep up the good work!

 

[Supra28]

Man, you got a deal on that A70. Burgandy A70's are the shizzz, that (and/or red) would be my second choice of color for an A70. Sweet build!

This is from suprasport.com

Street Series
The Street Series kits are intended for cars that are mainly
driven on the street and occasionally at the track. All Street Series clutch kits are
are designed with full face clutch linings bonded to a Marcel type disc to give you a
smoother engagement than any puck style clutch .
Full face clutches are available with the same friction materials as the Puck style
clutches and will not sacrifice torque.
Stage 2

TZ kits contain a modified high performance pressure plate with a heavy duty Kevlar® lined disc. The metal backed Kevlar® linings provide a smooth engagement and have the torque capacity to handle high horse power, high revving engines . These clutch kits maintain a stock feel at the pedal and have unmatched durability. Also included in the kit are a throw out bearing, pilot bearing, and alignment tool.

Torque Rating: 460 FT-lbs



AND

After my research, i found out that southbend heat treats the pressure plate, and upgrades the little side tabs with bigger ones, and thats what gives it a "stock like feel" but yet is still considered an "upgrade"... so for me, it sound PERFECT. And it should hold whatever i throw at it, as im still on stock fuel, Intercooler, turbo, exhaust... ect... just my engine will be "upgraded"

Also got my crank from ilikecarsyesido and i also got a water pipe as i bent mine to SHIT. hahahaha. Thanks again! Pictures up later to compare the 7m to 6m, and i'll weigh them too.

 

[Rennat]

Well so far here is what i have ordered...

Probe Pistons
Eagle Rods (thanks again suprarich on the awesome deal!!!!!)
ARP Head & Main Studs
Clevite Main/Rod/Thrust bearings/washer
Southbend stage 2 clutch.
Gonna go get my waterpump tomorrow

I'll go take pics of all of the new goodies such as the crank, and the new cleaner engine bay!
