She is finally down on her own two feet!! (hams old supra)

[Janz99]

Its been a long road for the past year since i bought the car. It came to me as a stripped/parted out car, and mostly everything for the car came in a box. We managed to get the car on my car trailor and to my house, where its sat for the past year while i worked on it. Here is the progress as of today:

Today, it finally sat back down on its own wheels and suspension:

Cage is finally finished up and completly welded:

Header is almost completly done, just have to route the dual wastegates:

Im pleased with how everything has turned out so far. There is still a ton of work to do, but at least its coming closer to being finished!

Enjoy

LOL, well you know what they say, size does matter If i didnt get such a deal on the gt47, i probably would have went with a gt42 or something similar!

Looks like its coming along real well. When you fire it up be carefully you dont loose a limb by getting sucked into that turbo.

 

[Boostedmkiii]

Very nice!

 

[sirgeorgee]

Absolutely beautiful

Congratulations

I love that huge turbo :icon_surp

Whats the expectied RPM at which boost will hit?

 

[honestabe]

sheesh, your turbo is tiny. Should have gone GT60:biglaugh: Looks really nice bro, that engine bay looks really baren without all the other stuff.

 

[Janz99]

Im not exactly sure to tell you the truth. In first gear (th400 tranny) im expecting it to be about 5500-6000rpm without nitrous. I am also in the middle of setting up a direct port n2o setup. I'll be using it just for spool, so hopefully ill be able to bring it down to around 4500rpm with the nitrous? Just an un-educated guess though.

WOW!! When I saw that engine bay my mouth dropped to the floor, and I suspect the "Oh my God" comment was heard by a majority of my co-workers, hehehe.

Killer set up, is that a real 2JZ-GE? or a GTE incognito? Anyway, nicely done!

 

[Highlex]

Another local guy! I am from Winnipeg also (or just outside rather)

I hope to build my 7m for street use, around 450hp

 

[Janz99]

Its a real GE, though once i put the TT valve covers on, it wont look much like a GE. Ya i get the "huge turbo" comment alot. In person the turbo almost looks like a stage prop. Doesnt look natural to be that big lol.

The roll cage came out looking pretty sweet and solid..

 

[smokemkevo]

Nice bro! what a massive turbo lolz

 

[HamsMKIII]

I'm very glad to know that my old car didn't end up in a junkyard; it was too nice of a chassis for that to happen to it. I hope it eventually finds itself back on the road again one day!

You will need a big shot to get that out of the hole, that's for sure. IIRC, Brent, a friend of mine is using around a 200, not sure the exact specs though, It will also depend on the converter you use and how tight it is. He runs same turbo and trans as well. I assume you are using this for track?

Nice to see Hams old car get some action.
