yet another....2jzna-t

[2tonebb6]

Alright guys,heres another na-t build so just bear with me.My goals are 500hp on gte internals,7m electronics the cars intended to be a weekend car so i don't plan on driving it into the ground. The car im using is an 89 turbo targa.The unfortunate part about it is that its automatic,but that will change in time.Over all the cars in pretty decent shape,a few dent and little rust.the interior is in great shape minus the chewed up arm rest.anyway first thing i did when i got the car was rip the old 7m out(which had....you guessed it, a bhg).i then purchased a 2jzge out of an sc300 for a good price,which ive already began to tear down.Everything looks to be in great shape when i opened her up,not much wear at all really. any way i had the the block honed and decked to clean things up a bit,and my machinist said everything looks good,so im pretty with my purchase on the motor. as for internals,i just got a great deal on new oem gte pistons, rings, pins and clips and rods. as far as bearings go i was planning on using the clevite77's that titan has on their site.i'd like to get some opinions on their quality and if they'll be good for what im after. well thats it for now ive got a lot more post in few days. here are a few pics of the progress(if you can even call it that).

I'm in Hillsborough,its by Somerville.But yea tomorrow ill have a few teaser pics of my new gauges setup:icon_cool

 

[foreverpsycotic]

What turbo/manifold are you planning on using?

 

[2tonebb6]

i was planning on running one of the xs power ones off ebay.i cant really find any others for the ge that dont cost $1000+.although i heard that they have to be modified so the wastegate isn't in the way of the dp.anyone know about this?

 

[2tonebb6]

OK,ive got a small update.i picked up my final version of my gauges today at kinkos,and i think they came out great.i made the gauges in adobe illustrator,and i had them printed on one layer of transparency paper,and one on regular paper using a laser printer.i was going for a bit more of a modern looking gauge face,and i wanted it to match my defi gauges.i think i got pretty close to making it resemble the defi's,but in the process of making my gauge layout,my girlfriend managed to crush my boost guage in a door:icon_evil.so it looks like ill be getting either a new defi gauge,or just go with prosports,idk yet.anyway here are a few pics to give you guys an idea of what it will look like
