Viewed as it is in your picture, from the front of the car. I'll be using a factory mounting hole that used to support the coolant control valve. See post #462, it will be mounted in that location. Mainly I'm looking for a smaller package that will fit in that location, since my oil dipstick is mounted directly below it I still need to be able to reach it.
Thanks Andy!

Also, just to clarify, I will need two 1/2" inlets, and one 5/8" output. (barb fittings)

Sorry the picture below is sideways, doing a quick sketch on my IPhone, but the one I circled is the one you want right? Just making sure I get it right so there is no confusion.

Ok so two 1/2 inch inlets on the right side and one 5/8 outlet on the left side
All viewing from the front of the car.

The bracket should stay in the same position or you want it moved?

You also want it power coated in black? What shade? Gloss, flat, any silver leafing effect?

Yep, that's the right one, it just looked like the smallest one- space is an issue with the heat/dipstick/etc.

Umm, no bracket? I think 2 holes drilled/tapped M6x1.0 in a vertical line (about 1" space between them) close to the center of the can on the backside would be best, I can make brackets all day until it sits properly. I can use RTV to seal the threads so no worries about leaks/sealing the threads durig the build.

Black would be great, finish preferance is as follows: Satin, wrinkle, flat, gloss.

Cool.

So Here Are The Specs

Catch Can Circled In Picture

Two 1/2 Inch Inlets On The Right Side One 5/8 Outlet On The Left Side All Viewing From The Front Of The Car.

No Bracket But Two M6x1.0 Holes Put On The Back Of The Can In A Straight Vertical Line

Color: Satin, Wrinkle, Flat, Gloss

You are funny. Seal what threads? He would make it so there is a small tube on the inside for the threads so you won't have to use silicone.


I highly believe if you buy this, and put it on your car, many members might start asking me and maybe a group buy could happen.

Did I mention he makes 1JZ rails all one piece and can have any fittings you want and they flow better than the ones that are sold at other vendors? :)

Sounds like you have the right idea! Shoot me the price when you have a chance!

Again, for clarification- (Do want) satin > wrinkle > flat > gloss (meh)

No work done to the Supra lately, but a good cleaning of the garage is in order after I finished reassembling my summer DD!

Should be much more stable and reliable than the previous versions, but we'll see after work tomorrow!

^^^ MOAR details on THIS interesting rendition of the old "Schwinn Whizzer"!:biglaugh:


(Your wires seem a bit "taught" for a flexible suspension between the frame and motor... is there enough slack there?)


...interesting project. Is that entirely fabricated or from some kind of partial/modded kit?

Chris, good eye! However, there is plenty of slack in the wires and throttle cable- the thottle cable is the one that looks tight, but it loops around the back of the engine (which is where all the slack is). No kits or prefabbed stuff here, just a bored gearhead with a free frame and a $10 motor. Admittedly its gotten a bit more expensive asits been refined and such, but its still fun. If I was a baller with too much cash, I'd be hitting up a GEBE kit since its engine makes the same power from 35cc as my 104cc does xD. Plus they're belt drive and maintain full pedal function.

First version:
p1726920_1.jpg

Broke the rear rim spokes plus the side-pull brakes weren't so good at stopping. Did ~20-25mph

Iteration #2
p1726920_2.jpg

Broke the rear supports after a couple days, but the brakes were much betterer via disc in front and suspension makes it more comfy :) Topped out at 35mph last time I checked.
