You are a Jack ass, you got injectors and I got an Extra set because you needed 440's, you could of called and said I dont need those anymore! :nono: :madfawk:
It was impulse buy at work. Sorry I forgot to hit you up. x_x
It's been a little rough around here at home lately. Cut me some slack.

Today!
Overnight Japan parts ftw!! (ok, well like 4-5 day parts)
I got my 540cc injectors in the mail today.
Scratch one more item off the list of things needed to make some srrrrrious power.
Next on the list is a MK4 fuel pump.
After that, probably an AFC. Then an AFPR me thinks.
One at a time...
I shipped the turbos back to the previous owner so he can take them to Innovative for warranty work. I'll find out soon if they stand behind their word. If not, well... I do not plan on coming out of MY pocket to rebuild them since I bought the kit advertised with GOOD turbos. We'll see. :icon_conf

I love all your sounds.
I have had very good dealings with ITS lately. All it takes is people skills. They hooked me up.

The Supra is not down. I just ripped the Blitz kit off and put the stock twins back on for now. One of my couplers has a hole in it but I really don't care right now and am too lazy to fix it. I'll replace the bad coupler when I put my K26s back on.
I'm just using the downtime of the turbo rebuild to gather supporting mods and do some aesthetic work on the kit while I have the opportunity.
I refuse to have the car down unless 100% necessary. Even if that means having to put the damn stock twins back on AGAIN.
read through your thread...
your car is basically my dream supra... black 1jz with upgraded twins ( love twins) and black rims. much respect joe!

Today:
Time to start making this kit look better. I dressed up the manifolds, downpipes, and y/mid-pipe with some black high temp paint. I knocked the dirt grease off with some Simple Green first. Then I used some 80 and 180 grit sandpaper, wiped the parts clean, then shot them with a couple coats of the high temp paint.
Pics are from a friend's smart phone, so the quality is ok. My parents are out of town on vacation with the digicam so this is all I can do.
And to compare, this is what everything looked like before with the nasty old heatwrap on.
Thoughts?
I think this is going to look great.

Looks pretty sweet. You should get the exhaust housings and wastegate ceramic coated and the turbine housings polished or just clean them up a bit.
BTW, what temp paint did you use. Do you think it will withstand the heat on the manifolds?

Thanks A-fon. 1200 degree is the highest I could find and what I used. We'll see if it holds up... If not, it can't look any worse than it did before.
I'm gonna leave the wastegates alone. You can barely even see them with the whole setup in the car. And I didn't feel like taking them apart to paint with the other parts.
I'd like to have the turbine housings ceramic coated. I'll see how I feel when I get the turbos back. Impatience will probably get the better of me and I'll just put them back on with just some elbow grease put into cleaning them up better. Not gonna polish the compressor housings though. I am anti-bling.
Next on the list is to have the IC pipes powdercoated.
And the last thing I'll do is get some black couplers once everything's back together.

:3d_frown: That stuff fell apart when I took it off. Was a huge mess to clean up. Stuff was on there far longer than it should have been.:nono:
Looks really nice, I like the black paint. I'm also against bling. I'd prefer my engine bay to look stock to the untrained eye.
