Roadboy's 350hp build

[roadboy]

hi, let me introduce myself, my name is Bryan and im from Toronto,Ontario, Canada.

first off i bought this car in Februrary 2008,it is a 91' supra turbo.the mods it came with are Tokico/apex springs, full 3" custom exhaust and everything else was stock.
*ohh yea came with bhg of course

My main goals for the Supra are to make it up to 350hp using the 7MGTE
NEW Goals are:
Greddy 20G or 57 trim
264 BC cams or regrinds


Mods currently installed:
cooleeze pipes upper and lower
apexi turbo timer
raybrig headlights
Xenon hid's
GReddy gauges
Greddy RS BOV
GReddy oil catch can
Momo pedals

When i first got the car it had bhg, cracked front bumper and minimum chassis rust and boost leak(x2). till later on in september the oil pan and rack & pinion started leaking.and right now im rebuilding a 7m motor at home, while it sits in storage for the winter, and modding it up along the way.

anyways here are the pictures enjoy :icon_bigg

Is it auto or manual? Good luck with your build. If it's auto, make sure and get a really good transmission cooler.

 

[roadboy]

its manual

 

[roadboy]

so, i havent been updating this thread in a while, lately i had some problems with the clutch master and slave, so i ordered brand new from the dealer.
i also got a new 3" amsoil intake,TLS performance, gunsmoke tint, TSW rims, euro turners and jdm rain guards
i dont have any pics of the TSW rims yet, but they were painted gold by the previour owner.

 

[ft413]

look like your off to a good start! good luck!

 

[mk3design]

Good stuff! Looking forward to seeing the car with the new parts! Did you get the bumper painted yet?

 

[kamikazemkiii]

Did you paint the tailights? or what did you use?

 

[integra08]

Good luck to you with the build

 

[roadboy]

i did not paint the taillights i got the tint from http://www.spalshield.com/shop
it was called gunsmoke, which was lighter than the "smoke" color, and was the last one.

also, i havent gotten the front bumper painted yet as i just got the car out last week.
some of the new stuff that has been installed, bought till now are:
MINE's ECU
wesbeach custom lower radiator pipe

 

[roadboy]

so i finally got some parts for my rebuild engine.
new NPR pistons .50 over
and i acquired a MINE's ecu for the 7mgte too.

 

[roadboy]

yea, crappy pics, were taken with my cell.
currently i got my block milled, hot tanked, bore and honed .50 over.
cost me about 160. i will get back the block later this week

here are a couple pics of my car as it stands now.

My Engine bay as it stands now (but without cruise control

no, this isnt my painted bumper, i took it off and in two weeks it will be painted,
i wanted to create something like a jdm license plate, and it only cost me a $1.13, a drill and some bolts i got for free.

 

[roadboy]

apparently for the past couple months i have been looking for bolts to put the engine on a engine stand, which was impossible to find at (lowes, home depot, rona) until i decided to get bolts from Toyota and now they fit.
i also got some parts in the mail
3" vibrant Flex pipe
3" catco cat
and a banjo bolt for putting in my fuel presure gauge

 

[roadboy]

apparently i have decided to go a separate plan to reach my 400hp goal.
Spearco Intercooler or similiar
BC 264 or similiar
underdrive crank pulley
Lightweight powersteeling, alternator pulley
Lightweight flywheel
and maybe a 57trim turbo

 

[WhtMa71]

Lookin' good! I say you skip the cams and go with a bigger bolt-on turbo for your goals.

 

[Guyana00]

Hey man, I think the 57 is a good idea, do a search on the lightweight pulleys especially the crank pulley.

You can search it here you will see why it isn't a good idea to use them, you can google it too. Haven't gotten to see your car yet, won't be running for this meet but looking forward to checking it out.

Dont know if there are any smaller cams then 264's other then OEM (that I have seen).

Underdrive crank pully, DO NOT GET on of those light weight ones(OBX, ect.). Search for it and you will find out why. You need something to absorb the engine's vibrations in short. The only crank pulley I would EVER use is the OEM or a ATI. ATI's have come down quite a lot in price since they were introduced.

Also "maybe" a 57 trim. What else are you looking at?
