SUPRADAN's REBUILD/SWAP/RESTORATION

[supradan22]

Well got the head back on

Painted the valev covers

Something the finished product should look like

Finnaly got arround to taking off the head of the GE to see what the previous owner did

and I was also able to push the piston down with my finger in the 3rd cylinder

Bye bye 7mge hello to a world of boost and a lot of tires thanks to the damn 4.30 in the rear.

Nice build man, it looks like your heading down a good path, hope all works out for you!

 

[aye mate]

You gonna be running an IC?

 

[supradan22]

MY FMIC
12x32x3 EDIT WOOPS TYPO

I posted this before its pretty big.

 

[aye mate]

That will be some interesting piping!

 

[supradan22]

The car is getting closer to finnaly being done got a cherry picker to pull the ge out of my supra waiting on new suspension (Tokico Blues and Intrax springs) and new mounts. I have a new goal for this car to be in the low 12s now.

Damn Dan, I cant believe I never saw this thread, I would've been watching your build... Well, I will now...

Dan, did you address the deck issue on the block? Its really important that the head and deck surface be in top condition before putting that HKS mhg on there, even if you're using ARPs...

Also, Im a little concerned about that IC... Not just the piping, but only 2" thick? It's going to severly restrict the air flow... I dont think the stock IC piping is 2 inches... Seriously, I wouldnt do anything smaller than a 2.5 or 3 inch inlet and outlet...

Just throwin that out there...

I did address the deck issue with the block that was taken care of for the MHG.

oh and the IC is 3" thick i made a typo and didnt realize it till now sorry about that the inlet and outlet are 3" also so im hoping it should be good enough.

Nice, What did you pay for that???

 

[suprahero]

Why is your turbo aiming at your ceiling? Good job on posting pictures of everything. I never got to see the picture of your silver fender. My computer won't let it come up. Some kind of anti crap............lol

 

[Reign_Maker]

Why is your turbo aiming at your ceiling?

He's gunna blow the hood off! :evil2:

WHEW! Dan, 3" is so much better! I was worried there, lol... Yeah, and how much did you pay for that beasty!

 

[supradan22]

I payed 150 shipped some guy on ebay spelled intercooler wrong his lost is my gain.

Oh and the turbo is mounted that way just for pics I wanted to see how the turbo fits on that mani that was custom fabed by one of my friends.

I may go with some new model of the ebay manifold that on ebay that has a flange for a 38mm wastegate.

 

[Reign_Maker]

Dan, get a SMALLER hot side on that turbo, unless you feel like spoolin about 6000rpm...

 

[supra90turbo]

lol, maybe he does! ever think about that? lol
It's coming together well Dan! Keep the pics coming!

 

[supradan22]
