The Build of p5150 - 2JZGE-T, GT4294, Paint, and more stuff

[p5150]

** NEW PICS ON PAGE 11*** Well, after waiting awhile I decided to post up what is going on with the build. I decided to ditch the 7M because it is no longer cost effective.

Most of the stuff has been acquired but some is still left to purchase. Going in my 88 MKIII is:

Engine

Mild port on head with deshrouded valves
Cometic 8.6:1 c/r (0.76") headgasket

Ching chang chow braced SS exhaust manifold (thermal coated)
50 mm ching chang chow wastegate
3" intercooler piping
4" full exhaust
12x24x3" intercooler
q45 throttle body
custom front facing intake

Fuel/Ignition
2jzgte AEM EMS
re-pinned 2jzge wiring harness
1000cc precision injectors

Since this is just a build thread, I dont want to argue the whole point of 2j vs 7m and why I went 2j but if you want to talk about it check out one of these threads:

Looking good man!

What've you got all over everything though? Sheetrock dust?

Dust from block sanding the body. I havent painted outside the engine bay yet.

 

[boostadikt]

are you pre-89? looks like youve got some custom motor mounts.... looking good, are you using a GE head or a GTE?

 

[p5150]

GE Head with BIC motor mounts.

Nice green! Is the rest of the car going to be that color?

 

[p5150]

Yeah the rest of the car will be the same color. Its a BMW green but I forgot the name of it.....

Im probably going to go with these wheels:

 

[GrimJack]

Nice choices. Green and chrome go well together in my book! And you're certainly going to get your fair share of people wondering what the hell that sports car that just passed them was.

 

[boostadikt]

wow.... check out the lip on that sucker, what is the offset for front and rear?

 

[Gilsdorf]

Nice build! Good luck with everything, it will be a killer ride once it's finished. Love the color choice.

[Justin]

Great to see you finally got that engine in there!

 

[p5150]

wow.... check out the lip on that sucker, what is the offset for front and rear?

35mm up front (18x8.5) and 45 mm in the back (18x9.5)

 

[suprahero]

AAHHHHHHHHH my eyes.......I'm blind!!!!!!! Those are some shiny wheels my friend. I love them and with your green car it is going to be sexinesss personified for sure...........:love:

What type of hp numbers are you shooting for? I can't wait to see this thing come together and get dyno'd. Definately subscribing to this thread. Good luck

 

[supra87t/t4]

When is she gonna run?

 

[p5150]

I should have it running in a month or two. i still have to drop 2300 on the clutch and finish building the manifold, IC pipes and exhaust.

Finish the wiring....

After that I have to spray the paint....

With the GT4294 I should be able to put down a healthy 700 hp. Possibly more. We will see how she acts when I turn up the boost....

Damn there must be a rule or something in Washington, that if you own a supra, it has to put down more than 650 rwhp.................:biglaugh:

I know of two supras now that meet that law.

I got my turbo in the mail today. I think I strained my back bending over the fender to test fit it. Its fucking huge. It looks like I will have to put a spacer in to lift the turbo enough for the compressor housing outlet to move to the 6 o'clock position. About 2 inches should do it but more test fitting will tell for sure.

Notice the size of the cam gear vs inlet?

The intake manifold is coming along pretty well. I was surprised how easy it was to weld aluminum with a wire-feed MIG from harbor freight. It took awhile to grind down though.... Pretty much all I have left with the FFI is to position the q45 flange and weld on the caps. Some grinding on the exterior to clean up the beads too.....

 

[p5150]

Well I have a few different options to make this thing fit. Basically, it fits but the the compressor cover is pretty close to the strut tower and the compressor outlet goes directly into the frame.

Im deciding between:

Mounting this turbo on a 3" spacer - this will require a modified hood.

Modifying the compressor outlet to include a 90 degree bend in the end of it.

:dunno:
