stock flange

[l_galyean07]

Sounds like thats what she will do. It was just an idea that i was checking on. This is a whole other world from what I'm used to.

And she created this account, she was on here a couple months ago looking for moulding for her car(the metal moulding rusted completely and we werent having any luck finding 89+ moulding around here). Its not like she's in the dark, she just doesnt know much about the mechanical aspect so I usually research things and relay them to her.

Thank you very much for your help. I'll probably be back later; still alot for me to learn about Supras.

good thing she will be rebuilding the CT-26.

check Horsepowerfreaks.com for moulding.
if they dont have it, toyota dealership is the only place, but will be pricey.
post a thread in the WTB section, u might have some luck.

looked thru her threads and ive talked to her b4 about the turbo and so did other people.

good luck with the build up.

didnt mean to insult you at all, just trying to get all the information and the reason behind it from a seasoned supra vet.

it does sound like turbo is on its way out. you can get new molding from toyota (the driver side door panel alone is $113!) i have a blue drivers and pass side one avail if you need it, drop me a pm.

the supra is pretty straight forward just has some quarks. if you are going to start pushing things id check out the BHG threads ahead of time.....

the stock ecu can compensate, jsut reset it after you modify something so it can relearn things. i ran a larger turbo (sp61gt) and a bunch of other things on the stock ecu w/o issue on the stock injectors. the stocker is pretty versatile

ya just put head bolts in it. this weekend im going to change all the fluids, definetly needs tranny fluid bad.

ya theyre not a bad car, i actually like them alot, theyre just a pain in the ass working on my car then working on hers. hell i can get all 8 plugs out in 10 minutes haha. she needed a starter and putting that damn thing on just about chased me away.

so you do think the stock ecu and fuel system would be able to handle it? she isnt going too crazy w/ it(has intake, downpipe, and is getting a catback), and i just thought the quicker spool of the ball bearing would keep her happy for longer. not only that but its more efficient and a better platform if she wants to do more w/ it later.

 

[oscolivar1]

i think an upgraded 57 trim ct will make her happy.

im not a fan of a bigger turbo on stock inj etc etc, yes it will compensate it, but why risk damaging your engine\

still havent asnswered my Q about if she cleaned and flow tested her inj and feul pump...

 

[l_galyean07]

nope, that was the next step if it was decided that the bigger turbo would be the best option. was also going to run a compression test this weekend either way, its burning a little oil but i think its seeping past the valve seals when it sits for a while.

 

[oscolivar1]

if u ever change your mind this dude is selling fully rebuilt(MDC did it) ct26 turbo.

shoot him an offer he needs to get rid of it, it an old thread.
ask for pics tho.
it comes with the actuator coolant lines and oil lines.
look into it

I'm not ruling out the ct-26 by any means. I'll have to see what she thinks, its her car.

 

[MKIIINA]

no need to go the bb route really with a ct26. that thing spools plenty fast as it is with just a 3in exhaust and intake. get some hardpipes for the intercooler and possibly upgrade the ic also and be done with it.

yea the starter is a bitch especially if its not the 90+ (threaded holes) but after a time or 2 it gets easier.

 

[l_galyean07]

ya its an 88. from what ive read, a 60 trim is about the biggest before it starts to significantly shorten the life of the turbo; any specific reason you suggested the 57 trim? or is my information just off? just curious.

 

[l_galyean07]

hey, she wants to go w/ the bigger turbo, so this was kinda the idea:
(car currently has downpipe, cat back needs put on, arp head bolts, intake, mbc)
PLANS
t4 flange exhaust mani
garret bb turbo, undecided on which one
injectors(550s?)
fuel pump(walbro 255lph probably)
clutch(spec probably)
SAFC or APEXi(or comparable piggy back, or maybe just MS)

good plan bad plan? comments? suggestions? anything else that wont hold up?

 

[oscolivar1]

u need a wideband to watch air/feul ratio.....
id get a AEM wideband, but thats just me.

 

[l_galyean07]

oh ya sorry forgot to mention a few of the minor things. did plan on getting a wideband and a boost gauge. anything else that would be a good idea?

 

[oscolivar1]

u said she was rebuilding the engine right...
get a HG set if she hasnt alrdy.
what internals is she using( valves pistons, rods), is she going to use a MHG?? if so resurface the block and head.
make sure u get a good tune from a shop or from a friend that knows how to.
whats her HP goal?
just change everythings thats is 15+ years old and you'll be fine.
she should start a build thread:icon_bigg

 

[l_galyean07]

damn i didnt think the motor would need rebuilt. plan for now was low boost, 8 or 10 psi at the most. its not really an all out build at this point, something to have fun w/ before throwing alot of money at it. thought about a hg, but at 8 or 10 psi i assumed it would be fine. i guess for an hp goal, <375 or 350. it will get tuned on the dyno this summer. she plans on doing more later, so thought it would be better to just get the turbo now rather than later.

are the 7ms really that weak that she would need a rebuild, running barely higher than stock boost with a more efficient turbo?

 

[oscolivar1]

well i cant say. is she the first owner?? if there are previous owner, do u know if they abused it and how they drove the car.
you'd just have to find out what will last when she has that turbo running.

i meant to say gasket set for everything in the engine.
shes using a stock toyota HG or something similar?? how much did u torque it down to.
once she gets to the point of changing HG, go for a cometic MHG.

 

[l_galyean07]

1 previous owner, older woman who was a flight attendant. almost all highway miles from home to the airport; she lived outside chicago, so the body wasnt in the best shape, but there was regular maintenance on the mechanical aspects(fluids were good, timing belt was fairly new, etc.). HG is stock toyota(guessing), just put ARP head bolts in, i didnt do that work so i would have to find out what they were torqued to. when i have some time i'll run a compression test. motor seems to be in good shape, only problem seems to be a little oil is getting past the valve seals when it sits for a long time.

laurens car needs a new turbo, id just do a 57 trim ct 26 cheap and reliable
