Well I'm in the mood to take a break and thought I would finally get around to introducing myself and saying a proper hello.
I'm new here but not new to Supra's as I'm actually the original owner of my 1990 MKIII turbo.
I've been through numerous upgrade paths and also numerous 7m's LOL. 7M adventures for me have included but are not limited too...
Running lean and burning a hole completely through piston #5 which of course gave me one giant James Bond concealing cloud of smoke the likes of which you have rarely seen. I'll upload a pic of it sometime.
Snapped my original stock ct-26's shaft while under full boost which caused the compressor intake side to literally melt into a ball. I'll upload a pic of it sometime.
A washer was left inside my intake by a local shop once and it took my turbo, a turbonetics t67 I think at that time, my head and broke a wrist pin free in number 2. It also drove the rather beefy washer into the head repeatedly before finally sticking it there for good.
And of course I had a BHG, or two, and one of those was with a HKS MHG even. Which caused me to have a bent rod on number 3.
My current point at this time is sitting at.
-2jz-gte swapped in.
-ARP everything, mains, rod caps, head studs and even valve bolts got the arp treatment.
-860cc injectors siemens.
-Vielside 90mm intake with a q45 throttle body.
-2.5" IC piping and intercooler to match.
-r154 (with every marlin crawler upgrade that they make)mated to motor with 1jz bellhousing.
-Evolution lightweight flywheel. (ARP bolts of course)
-1 piece aluminium driveshaft.
-50mm Tial BOV
-50mm wastegate
-3" Trust exhaust
-Garrett GT4088R
-AEM series 2 PNP EMS
-AEM meth injection
As far as the body goes, I stripped the car completely bare and doubled the number of spot welds through the entire car and foam filled the frame. Front and rear strut tower braces and then gave it 14 coats of paint ending in a bright porsche red with a white undercoat to really make it glow. I also smoothed the stock 3 piece rear tail into the fenders so that there is no longer a seam at all and shaved my door handles. Car is also lowered and has bomex sideskirts and front lip with rear bumper addons.
With momo Idea mags and 245's up front and 285's in the back.
And I think that about covers it. I don't have tons of pics yet, but here's just a few. I hope to be starting this machine up hopefully today or tomorow!
The body pics are both over 2 years old though.
