some more updates:
http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...longblock3.jpg http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...longblock4.jpg sensor that broke so i replaced it http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...acuumvalve.jpg the pcv hard line had oil residue caked inside of it so it was clean up and powder coated along with a few other pieces (plus these pieces were rusted and such so i wanted them to look better) http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...oatedstuff.jpg |
i love the MK3 supra i owned six of them and my last one made 430rwhp but when i see all this money put in to the dam 7m it makes me sad. you could have got a 2jz with goodies and boost till the end of time. not a stab at you i just kick myself for never doing it. love the attention to detail though!!
|
i hear what you saying but i wanted to stick with the 7m if i was going to go with another engine i would just have went 1j unless i got a really good deal on a 2j i couldn't pass up, and thanks for the compliment

Brandon has good reason to keep this car as original as possible. His parents were the original owners.

some more progress, turbo is now bolted up, vacuum lines being done (using silicone) i needed another one of those football shaped gaskets and for some reason i didn't have the brace that helps support the turbo but im getting one

there were a few issues with the jvt radiator i picked up a while back because of the price it was being sold for, so i ended up just picking up a koyo oem replacement and im returning the jvt
so another minor set back but its all good now, the koyo is in the car and i just need the upper radiator hose and a ac idler pulley adjusting bolt because the old one seized and broke hoping to have things done within the next week or two so i can be all set to enjoy the weather and the englishtown meet along with other meets coming up |
things were good to go and the engine would have had its first start today or tomorrow but sprung a coolant leak somewhere near the back of the block surely a pia :(
|
well this is where im at now:
i need another fuel damper since mine was leaking fuel, at first it was spraying then got it down to just leaking but fuel leak in the engine bay is a no no i'll also get the 2 copper crush washers that go along with it http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...nMW86/bay1.jpg |

[IMG]http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...esupraruns.jpg[/IMG] and pick up one of these a while ago for cheap, well $50 less then what they are going for (carbon fiber coil pack cover) http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...lpackcover.jpg |
Very nice!
|
can i ask why you have the recirc side of the bov capped off? i've never seen that before, just either recirc'd or vented and im curious.
|
im going to vent it, i would like to recirculate it but couldn't find any reducer hoses the size i needed or the fittings they use to have for that bov, i wouldn't drive it capped like that
the one on the accordion hose will stay capped of course though |
okay. wasn't sure if that was permanent or not, ha.
|
car is on the road and driving great plus its sounding awesome, hopefully everything breaks in ok
pic of the final engine bay shot for now, im sure i will so more minor things along the way (i also have to put my tems electronics covers back on) http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...oneanddone.jpg |
|

|
