Anyway, lemme know if you hear anything. And then Ryan, you can teach me allll over again, hah.

talk to bob, you might be able to get his then swap in a new motor.

[Enraged]

murray and ryan: record for the dyno is sitting at 301 whp from an is300 with 2jz bottom end. go beat those numbers :)

[Enraged]

intake runners are all welded to the bottom of the plenum, now to get to work porting and making the rest of the plenum. i also stripped the center caps (no more toyota logo) and am in the process of painting them...

[Matt6003]

Bob, or anyone else who would know, did you have coilovers? a friend of mine was wondering.

[Enraged]

[islandsupra]

[Matt6003]

I coulda sworn he had lowered it

[NashMan]

i got to get another oil cooler now at lest my pan doe snto leak ti was all ways my oil cooler

NASHMAN: check your PMs dude! Been trying to reach you.

P.S. Sorry for the invasion of the thread, I'm at my wits end.

do the centercaps look good? :) freshly painted and cleared, the paint is a very close match.

pic taken with my new fuji finepix S5000Z :)

[Matt6003]

Nice Toby, those are gonna look awsome

[Paradox]

whack ass resolution, but ya looks sweet man! should be nice on your supra

[Millsy]

They're gonna look wicked! Need some better pics of them with some good lighting tho.

[Enraged]

ya, batteries are dyin, i need to pick up some NiMH batteries and a charger. the resolution is becuase i adjusted the size in photoshop.

[islandsupra]

they look good dude. The color match is really close, you won't notice when they are on the car (whenever that'll be :p)

[Millsy]

Mmmmm, IC in the backround :)

the first is the beginnings of the ports. the farthest to the left just needs some smoothing, but the port is matched. just have to bellmouth it and it will be done.

just showing the welds. a few good beads, a few contaminated ones. ive got to clean it up a bit and have him reweld a few parts. cast aluminum welded to 6061 is a bitch apparantly hehe

[arturiusma7]

i have a supra forsale:) u can check the for sale thread on here... 89 white targa turbo 5 spd.

[booter22]

If anybody is interested in helping with my dyno fund i have a porche blow off valve for sale and a escort g-timer2 for sale $50 obo. for the bov and $150 obo for the gtimer

[Millsy]

I wish I had a targa top.

[Paradox]

that looks awesome toby!

and Millsy i've had my targa for umm.. 6 years now? i'd rather have a sunroof or hardtop to be honest, the targa's flex too much.

but it is nice on hot days, until you end up stuck in traffic, haha.

[islandsupra]

just cut your roof off shane, use velcro to take it off/put it on.

[Paradox]

altho im sure velcro rocks your shoes reuben, it may not work so well on a roof :p

[Matt6003]

Stupid targa top, im pretty sure i just stripped one of the damn bolts on it

[Enraged]

i snaped a bolt in mine... long story short, i now have a small dent going up out of the targa...

[Millsy]

It seems like the only good thing that the targa is there for is the hot days. Maybe one day I'll do a custom sunroof/moonroof.

[Matt6003]

I love the targa on hot days, but its starting to seem like more hassle than its worth. My solution is just to leave it off.

[Matt6003]

Post 200 in the supra thread! (for me anyways)

[Enraged]

duane might make a CF targa

[Matt6003]

That would be different, not sure how much i would like the looks of it though

[islandsupra]

LOBO!!!

Anyways....
I find that in the summer I always find myself sort of wishing my car was a targa top, but then I'm glad that it's not. When I was looking for my car I looked until I found one in good shape that was a hard top.
The sunroof was an added bonus, but on the 87 it does have some quirks like because it slides inwards it doesn't really open all the way, there's a motor for it that sort of blocks a bit of vision out of the back window and the roof is an inch or so lower because of the framing for the thing.
But I still like the hardtop and glad I bought it, mainly because of the weather up here and how much it rains. But I think if I were to have a supra as a summer car only I might be tempted to sell this one and buy an 89+ with a targa or outward-sliding sunroof.

In other news... new clutch is now in the works, I just have to decide what to get. I want to order the spec 3 disk and act pressure plate - but time is a factor.

[NashMan]

ummm just get a act street there good clutch will hold alot of power ps it's cheeper and when want more power just buy a hpf clutch

i whent about 2 yeasr whith my act and the pp came out like it was never used

[NashMan]

on the otehr note i have nice oil leak now heheheh i need to repalce my oil cooler i never had a oil pan it was all ways the oil cooler

[NashMan]

oh yae toby your air flow might be broke

it's runing rich up top right now but cleared my code

it all ways has since i got it

mabye that is the reson why your car ran really rich all the time under boost

but ti choudl be some tgin els wroung but i going to find that out now

[Enraged]

it was fine on my car! you break it you buy it haha

my wide band tells me

it;s runing rich

i am swaping with cad tonight so that will be the end opf it cause his run smooth


all so swaping fule persure gauges ot se eif mine is just out of wack

[NashMan]

yae i figured out my prob


i have 680 injectors yae instead of 560

so now my fule persure is set to the right setting so now i ahve full steady 11 across the bord


my fule persure befor was 30 to 35 for 550 wiht 680 it is now at 22 and boosting hard

[Paradox]

just caught ryan at $$$$$$$$, looks like he made some nice #'s for 13psi

but damn ya is that thing ever running rich, haha

[Enraged]

ya, ive got a vid and pics :)

293rwhp @ 13 psi.... which equates to about 343rwhp on a dynojet, so i doubt he will have any trouble hitting 400rwhp (dynojet hp). he borrowed my mbc to see if he could get a steady 20 psi, and hes going back tomorrow.

[NashMan]

yupper all ready install drop my shim's donw to 3 and i am ready to rock now all i got to do is go around driven to 20 psi

i hope for no spikes thou

[Enraged]

hows the mbc working?

[Paradox]

whats the verdict?

[Matt6003]

Did you dyno again today Ryan?

[Enraged]

no, chris wanted front straps for the supra due to the location of the rear control arms. ryans probably goin to dyno tomorrow after chad gets his tuning done.

[Matt6003]

Instead he should go on thursday, and i'll come watch :D

just some updated pics of the intake manifold. ports are done, im starting the plenum, just have to figure out some dimensions and the internal volume.

[NashMan]

well i got lower this time some thing is up with my car

i think i just going ot take it off the road and replace the turbo

and just go true waste gate


so i may not be takne the supra on the cruse after all and just take the rx7


i knew i should ahve just boght diffetn trubo whe i was doing all this

[islandsupra]

that sucks dude.

How much for the 57? :p

The mani is looking pretty decent Toby, it's coming together!

I almost got my hardpipes on tonight. Started ripping the old ones off after work today. Had one HELL of a time with the fender pipe!! But I ended up having to stop and go out for dinner so I wasn't able to finish up tonight. It got dark and I realized it's late... all I have to do is hook the accordian hose back up and put one more pipe back on though, so maybe I'll have some pics or something tomorrow.

[Matt6003]

That sucks Ryan, and Reuben, hurry up and get your front clip off Shane, otherwise im gonna!!!

[islandsupra]

plan on picking it up sometime this weekend :)

[Matt6003]

Are you still coming down?

[islandsupra]

how else would I pick it up? ;)

[Matt6003]

well you dont need to come to victoria to pick up something in qualicum, but good on ya

[islandsupra]

touché.

[Matt6003]

Oh sweet, someone smeared chocolate all over my windshield and door handle last night!!!

[Matt6003]

Oh by the way, I'm getting paid tomorrow, so Bob just let me know when you'll be around and i'll come by and pick up the stuff from ya

[islandsupra]

We should organize it so we can all meet up at the same time. Bob I have to come and get those gauges from ya this weekend too somtime, I'll be in Victoria saturday for sure... the rest of the weekend I am not sure about yet. Would be cool to get together though and meet you too Matt!!

Oh, and I finished putting on the IC hardpipes this evening after work. Took a bit of twisting and pushing and pulling, along with a bit of cursing but they are on :) I took a few pics of the lower pipes but it looks dirty and gross under there now compared to the nice gloss black pipes so I'll just post pics of the shiny uppers :p
Oh, and as for power gains - I'm not really so sure. I felt a little bit, spool time is I think a little quicker but I felt nothing vastly significant. Then again, I didn't when I put on the downpipe or exhaust either... maybe I'm just not so sensitive to it?
It does feel stonger though, and boost doesn't drop off quite as much, I actually spiked to 13psi, and have it set around 10 :p



Actually, you can just see them here:
http://www.cardomain.com/ride/800041/5

[Matt6003]

I'm in for getting everyone together one night, who else can?

[NashMan]

[Matt6003]

Bob, I've got money for you and can pick up the swaybars any time, give me a call and we can set up a time, 888-9119 is my cell #. The sooner the better :D

[ness_71]

Sorry guys, we are superbly busy trying to work out some stuff right now so the supra is on the back burner. Also, trips to the supra are very limited with no wheels to get there, so everything is still installed on the car. I will try to get on Bobs ass to get that stuff for you both.

[Matt6003]

Sure, thanks. Unlike Reuben, I live close by, and I dont mind taking him down to the car if he needs a ride, its pretty close to my house too.

So it was a pretty good long weekend... for my car.
I got the hardpipes in the mail middle of last week and put them on thursday night after work. The cermamic coating on the upper pipes turned out half decent and all in all they fit well.

This weekend Ryan also was a great help, he used his arms/hands to reach the knock sensor wire that I could not (for the life of me) reach so we fixed that, advanced the timing a bit and backed out the screw on the AFM. Thanks a lot for the help dude!! Also hooked me up with a polished turbo heat shield ( wanted to do mine for a while but I am just so lazy).

Also picked up the triple pillar pod from Bob along with black faced boost, egt, a//f, water temp and oil press. gauges from Bob.
I got the pillar and gauges all installed tonight after work and everything seems to be working great so far. I forgot to grab the sensors for the oil and water gauges so those will be installed once I get the parts I need. The picture of the guages is horrible, but it was dark out and I didn't feel like messing around with my camera.

As well yesterday on the way home from Victoria I picked up a fender and front nose peice from Shane (for a great price I might add) Thanks a lot for holding on to those for me bro'!! So I am expecting to do all the body work this weekend.

The car is finally starting to come along a little ways here.
A new set of tires is ordered tonight so I can finally get those wheels on - hopefully this weekend as well. And a new clutch will be on the way soon, as soon as I can decide what to get.

After this, I am done with the car for this year!! I dunno what next year will bring... I am still contemplating selling it but find that I just keep spending money on it and fixing it. It's just too fun to drive. We'll see what happens I suppose.

More pics to come once I get some more work done :)

[islandsupra]

oh yeah... and I'm now hitting fuel cut at approx. 13.5psi :)
But tonight I went out to test the gauges and go for a quick drive and I actaully hit 15psi!! I guess tomorrow I take out a washer or 2.

[Paradox]

haha nice man. i thought you told me you'd never put a pillar guage pod on tho? :p

owell looks dope, shiney atleast

as for the turbo heatshield, ditch it, doesnt do anything hehe. i shined mine up then painted it and then just decided it was of no use.

if you can hit 15psi without fuel cut, why not? haha

[NashMan]

just leav it at 15 psi and call it day you knwo you don't have to push t every time to 15 you know

and the day you want 15 psi you wonte have it

[NashMan]

i have piced a turbo people

now all i got to do is buy it


and then all teh fun will begain all over again


ps i taken the lines off today i throw them in my rx7 so i cna rop by and give em to you

[Enraged]

cool

[Paradox]

uhh boost?

[NashMan]

so i am stuck between 2 trubos


one has lag easy to tires one does not

laggyer gt40

really fasty spool gt35 40


i really in pickel right now i don't wana spin the shit out fo my tire liek mad man but i hate alot fo lag


what to do ?????????


oh yae i should ahve my car on the road very soon ish i am hoping by about novmber

[Enraged]

ryan, with 500+ rwhp, you will spin the tires no matter what.

personally, i would choose the gt35, then buy some drag radials.

[NashMan]

to fast spool will lick money balls thou

[Enraged]

just get a standalone with traction control!

[NashMan]

sure i get right on that my money reee is just starting to poke throw the ground


i am still lost don't knwow hat to do

[islandsupra]

get the bigger one... knowing you, if you did get the smaller one you'd be wishing you went bigger soon enough. And I'm sure with the ball bearing setup the spool time won't be all that bad anyhow.

[NashMan]

i just don't know



i need ot see some dyno graphs so i cna see the lag these turbo give off

[NashMan]

hehehe my car has silly gas now hehe i like swich's that amke my car go faster

[Matt6003]

Shit.. He's got enough Naws in there to blow himself up.. period...

[Enraged]

wooooooooooo i got a job!

so now i might be able to afford a nice CF hood ;)

[Matt6003]

Nice Toby, where are you workin now?

[Matt6003]

Oh and a CF hood looks awsome on an mkIII

[Enraged]

i start at FareLogistics tomorrow. They make transit fare systems. im excited and nervous...

got the braided lines from ryan today, so now all of my turbo lines are braided. might get some braided fuel lines too!

[Matt6003]

Where is that?

[NashMan]

i gonna put the zex kit on the rx7 this shoudl be fun

[Paradox]

run 100shot see what happens :D

i hate watts linkages.

[NashMan]

naaa i never did pop it in to my rx7 it's fast egough

i have my toy and it is the supra i really don't wana piss my money away ont he rx7

i was gpoig to super chage it but meh if you really look at it it's just waste of money ti will never be fast


cause rotires plan just suck for power

uhh rotarys can actually make a hell of a lot of power... maybe not as much torque as a supra ;) but they can still make a shit load of power. my buddy in langley has a fc3s running 650 rwhp at 27psi. hes aiming for 700 by year end.... rotary's r fun cars, just i dont like rx7's, the fit and finish just is really cheap looking to me. anyways thats my bluuurp :)

[Enraged]

rear end is pretty much done, just waiting to get the rotors back and ill slap them on with the new pads... that dupont brake caliper paint is nice stuff, need one more coat on the calipers tomorrow i think to make them a nice clean red :)

ok all tell you this

you can amke any thign fast wiht money


roties when pushing this big power are so bad on gas it just hurts you

when you runing about prim 1300 cc injectors and 1500 secoundioes

it plan just suck there bad on gas and nto that trusted when pushing big power

[arturiusma7]

lol i think anything pushing that much boost is going to be bad on gas. rotarys r bad on gas as it is, but so would a 700 hp v8 or a 700 hp I6 for that matter. and same goes, anything pushing that much power isnt going to be super reliable. but when u own a business and have been working with rotaries for over 15 years. i think you can make them pretty solid. when you start doweling the block they become near indestructible, but when they arent doweled then they arnt strong at all. the housings can spin apart.

[Enraged]

i want a 350 hp rotary in a datsun 510.

and in supra news.... i saved myself $50 on machining the rotors... by throwing them in the trash... so ya, new rotors, new pads, pretty red calipers....

[arturiusma7]

yea on another supra note, for some reason my alternator belt decided to split in half (down the middle... so half was still on, half was down the road...) while i was going down the road... knocked out one of the temp sensors too... sooo i geuss its time for new belts all around!

rotires are bad on gas the turbo one are really bad wilum goes through 2 tanks of gas coeming form anaimo

and it only 400 hp and they got pretty big tank


my car get 400+ tpo a tank and i push 400 well whould have

my buddies glx only got about 250 to a tank

my frist gen rx7 is really bad on gas as well

plus rotirs and there truq snap amke em not mch fun to drive really

they can make power and be wicked drag car but int eh end how long will it last one nock it blows them up that why roties die

oh yae oh other thing there truq snap is really sharp nothing to boom a ton fo power not to much fun at all that si why i never bought one really there power band just is crap

but i must amit i love the power band on a na rotires nice and smooth

[Enraged]

ryan, if you put the amount of money that you spent on your supra into an rx7, you would have a similar car. great handling, 400+ hp.

[arturiusma7]

yeea but why would u want an rx7 over a supra? i mean it might of seemed like i was making an arguement that rx7's r better, but that wasnt near what i was trying to say. id much rather have a supra over a rx7. they are a true luxury sports car. an rx7 is a cheap sportscar in my view. and yea the 1st gen rx7's r carburated if u go to the 79 model which is one of the reasons they r so bad on gas, but they do make awesome backfires :P

[NashMan]

i have an 82 wiht some small toys


ps toby i did not spend that much on the supra but i know it should handle the power i will be giveing it for long time that is if the enigne bilder fucked up

pretty much i wanted race car and i have one it did much more things then just power in cresse di did re make my car

[islandsupra]

well the battle between rx7s and mk3s have and will go on for a long time.... 2 very different cars, it's not really worth comparing.

I did want, and still do in some ways, a 2nd gen rx7. I had a shot at buying an 88 with 90 original k's on it or else my supra. Both were at the same lot and the supra had 62 k miles on it. I still think of what that rex would have been like, but I'm also glad (sometimes lol) that I have my car. I think the main deciding factor was that it's twice as big and I can actually fit comfortably in it!

And as far as supra crap, my wheels will hopefully be going on before I move back down. Also ordered a brand new spec stage 3 clutch kit hopefully it will be here soon as well!
Just a few more little things to fix up and I think it'll be finished - except the engine of course.
I am seriously toying with the idea of selling though... but doubt I can get enough for it to justify it.

[NashMan]

spec blows act all the way so upgrade abable or rps only the pp thou

[Paradox]

not this again... :confused:
here's a 510 for ya toby... http://www.rotaryshack.com/CustomProjects/Ammars%2012A%20Turbo%20510/Ammars510.asp

i think the FB on the home page of that site makes 730hp, but the chassis wouldnt handle it.

brakes look good, are those just stock rotors or what? why no slotted/drilled, etc?

[NashMan]

hey muray got any spare rx7 parts

[Matt6003]

After sitting for a week the Supra is dirtier than ever!

[Enraged]

powerslot were only $16 more each, but would have been a 3+ week wait, and since that is the parking brake wheels, i dont want it on jackstands for that long... besides, stock is fine for the rears at my power levels...

[Matt6003]

The painted caliper looks great!

It was awsome, pretty well spent the entire time drunk :D

[Enraged]

ya, brake balance is something like that. ive got new Axxis Metal Matrix pads all around, so the only thing left to do is braided brake lines, but ill do that after the car is running.

[NashMan]

yae i took crap load of weight out fo the rx7 she got littel peppyer

i toook on 5.0 and he was neck to neck wiht me i was laughy so hard that my pos chould this

[arturiusma7]

[islandsupra]

lol Toby I just had to make myself feel better after matt called it on me :p

Anyways, I'm gonan be moving back to Nanaimo next weekend so it will be easier for me to make it down there. Still deciding on if I should leave the supra up here, or keep it until Christmas break - insurance is up in September.

KEEP IT

[islandsupra]

lol, yeah having no car does suck... but 3 months no insurance = money for new toys :)

[Enraged]

ya, why do you think i can afford new toys for my supra... no gas and no insurance...

reuben, whats the word on the long weekend?

[NashMan]

hummmm i hate trubo's there so many i can choose form

but i kinda made up my mind gt40 all the way i don't care about lag plus i may be doing stand alone

so that means my lex and sfac may go up for sale

i am think of micro tec or mega squrt 2 but i don't know yet

my car just may be off the road for some time like a year or this next summer

or just sell it

[Matt6003]

Ryan you cant sell your car now, you've put so much work into it, and barely gotten to use it yet.

[islandsupra]

oh the drama...

[Enraged]

how much for the safc

[arturiusma7]

hey ryan, if you arnt installing the microtech yourself, i know a place in langley who installs them daily and are certified in installing adn selling it. installed i believe is 2300 dyno tested and turn key.

[Enraged]

supra camping trip: no supra required. gordon bay, august long weekend, whos up for it?

[islandsupra]

when did it turn into a supra camping trip?
And all the reserved spots are long gone - it's going to be first come first serve only. I will be trying to head out on thursday to grab to spots that are together for me and some friends. I don't want to hold/pay for other spots unless I know that more people are coming for sure, and for how long.
Just let me know before then if anyone is interested so I can try to make sure there are enough spots close together. I believe it's around $22/night for a campsite with one tent and one vehicle.

I'm not so great at obeying those stupid rules though ;)

[NashMan]

if i get eh mirco tec one i just put it in my self


but i really liek the new e mange bye bye afm and every thing i can play with

[arturiusma7]

welll i would if i ever saw u on msn :D

[Matt6003]

Supra camping trip? sounds like fun! too bad im working that weekend...

[ness_71]

Where's Gordon Bay? And I have an idea, how about we change it to a Supra (no supra required) build our damn house so we have a place to live trip. :)

I'll even let you camp in the yard.

[islandsupra]

It's out in Cowichan... actually originally Bob and I were talking about trying to get together and go camping sometime and that's how this all came about in the first place.

There's a few more people I got together now, Cole and his gf and 2 or 3 more friends from Nanaimo.

I know you guys are gonna be super busy now though. If I make it down into Vic at all that weekend I'd be more than happy to stop in and help out for a while if you guys need. And if for some strange reason you guys have a little bit of spare time, you got my number :)

[NashMan]

i am on msn now


i whoudl come campig but i am way to poor right nwo try to get parts for mty car

[Matt6003]

wow, took 2 hours, but i finally got my interior back together! Alarms are a pain in the ass!!

[Matt6003]

Hey Toby, where did you get the replacement holes for the Targa top?

[NashMan]

hey artums give me a call some time at 478 6687

[Enraged]

toyota should have the, as far as i know

[Matt6003]

[Enraged]

this is the best i can do: http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/library/EPC/MKIII_NATO/291410/6104_2.html

oh ya...

[arturiusma7]

id be interested in the hardpipe, can i get some pics anda number to call u at?

[Enraged]

ill post a pic when im off work. it needs to be painted or powdercoated. i cant use it anymore since im switching to a FFI and side to side IC.

on another note, anyone seen this before: http://innovatemotorsports.com/products/lc1.php

US$199 shipped from most places, has laptop output and it can be programmed to be used with a standard autometer afr gauge.

[Matt6003]

Originally posted by NashMan

Soo.. you and Shane? yeah right :lol

[islandsupra]

damn straight.

Hey Toby, I might want to get those valve covers off of you. Kind of wondering how I can mount the coilpacks so that it doesn't interfere with the throttel linkage. But I guess one step at a time.

[Enraged]

its easy, you just need a FFI :) actually, there was a guy on SF that used a throttle cable from Jegs or something and got rid of the linkage i think.

[Paradox]

boo. i think my radiator is toast.

does anyone remember what radiator i was looking to buy awhile back? hehe. i dont need anything huge, just as good as OEM...

i *think* the rad i was looking at was for a NA

[Matt6003]

Go talk to Dennis at Beacon Auto, I beleive that parts car had a brand new rad on it

[islandsupra]

Hey Mur, I remember when I bought my rad a few months ago we were talking about them but I can't remember which one you were talking about... anyways I just ended up getting an OEM replacement one from lordco. It has plastic tanks like the stocker, not metal ones - but it's worked fine for me so far.

There was a guy on SF in the canadian section selling a basically brand-new Koyo. You should check that out, I wish I saw it before I bought mine! I ended up paying around 300 for mine, the best deal I could find locally... I wish I could have shopped around a bit first cause there's better deals out there - but I couldn't wait that long.

[arturiusma7]

hey enraged. ill like 95% buy that off of u, ill just paint it black and call it a day. and then yea, ill just get hardpipes built off of that...

[Paradox]

it was the Koyo i was thinkin' of. i found a bunch on ebay for cheap ($130) think i may get one of those.

[Enraged]

murray, use seawings express to bring it across the border. its usually cheap or free shipping in the US, then you just pay about $20 and do the duty stuff yourself.

art, let me know if/when you want to come take a look at it, im kinda busy this week helping my gf move and stuff, but ill be in and out of town....

[Enraged]

oh ya, im thinkin seriously of buyin the LC-1 wideband. $200 shipped from the US, and it can datalog with a laptop hooked up. murray, you want one? :)

[Paradox]

this is basically the rad i was looking at.. they are all over ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/KOYO-RADIATOR-TOYOTA-SUPRA-86-92-TURBO-NON-T-OEM-JDM_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33602QQitemZ7995634 330QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

as for the wideband. hmm, i will probably have to look into them a bit more. perhaps after the rad.

i also sprung a leak in my AFPR today, so i cant drive the supra, boo. just gotta put a few new o-rings in though. i then went to drive the RX7 and the battery was dead. haha

[islandsupra]

Hey Murray, I actually emailed those guys about that rad. Seems like there were 2 different ones so make sure you get the right one!! The shipping quote wasn't all that bad either, but the duty charges would probably be killer.

I finally got my clutch in the mail last night, but I'm moving back down to Nanaimo today so I won't be able to do it myself/with my dad :( Anyone ever had one installed at a shop or know roughly how much they charge?

[Millsy]

Clutch work = too much.

If I were you, I'd do it myself.

[arturiusma7]

935 motorsports actually has some good rads and at seemingly good prices too. id check them out...

enraged, ill let u know tomorrow, im in mid move right now also so im still a little hectic :D

[NashMan]

hate to say it but if you want short ic piping that is not the pipe to use sorry toby i whould have to cut it down alot so it does not go into the fender and going through the fender sucsk

but buy hsi springs if you can you car need ot be lowered

[NashMan]

rubane i can do your clutch for oen week end

you should get an eletric fan as well that whould be sweet


nice thottle respones and tad bit more power and better cooling

[Enraged]

actually ryan its pointed to go through the fender hole, or through the snorkel hole, depends on which bend you use, no cutting required. i got kenny to make it that way for a reason, and i never got around to finishing the hardpipes for various reasons.

[NashMan]

ummm ok


any
way

i make toy for my mazda right now out of toyota parts it doe snot give any more speed thou

far as know of it

[NashMan]

i saw muray on the high way nice red door on you black car

[Paradox]

you must have been hallucinating, i have black doors! altho i may swap on some white doors :D

[Matt6003]

Murray were you down town in the Supra the other night?

[NashMan]

humm thoiught it was you cause he looked at me funny when i drove past

[Matt6003]

I met a guy today with a blue 89+ Targa, just had 18" chrome 6 spokes put on it yesterday, but other than that its stock, he heard there was a way to tweak his wastegate for more power, but unfortunately having an NA i couldnt help him with that. You guys know anything about it?

[islandsupra]

unbolt the 2 bolts and add some washers to make the spring stiffer and it will hold more boost before it opens :)
Just tell him to be careful not to add too many washers if it's still all stock, especially if he only has the stock boost gauge - I'd probably start with one or 2 on each side.

[Matt6003]

Awsome, thanks Reuben, I'll let him know, and maybe try to get him on here

[NashMan]

sorry guys i chould nto make it to the campy thing but i had to finsh the hard pipes i was maken

they turbo out prettyt cool if youmask me and if they where clean up a littel flux core welds suck


any wyas here si the new details thi sis the best ic pieing i ahve made for the 7m stander intake manafodl yet


2.25 off the trubo to ic 2.25 2.5 then to 3 inc on the top ic pipe all the way to the thottle body , pretty neat if you ask me and will be perfert for an upgrade ct26 and never will out grow the pipeing in less going to comletely diffetn set up like after makert manfold ic

[arturiusma7]

heheeh yes they r very fun! but ryan, im not hitting fuel cut it doesnt seem anymore... but i think the timing is off or something because aparently it shoots a nice black poof when i give'r.... Ryan (rx7 buddy) was racing me and yea he noticed that while he was behind me :) defiantely alot more lower end power.. and i ran it for an hour, wasted 25 bux of gas and could still grab my upper i/c pipe.. im pretty pleased :)

[Matt6003]

Damn all you boosted bastards.... i'll get there one day...

cool that mena no heta soak and i glad you are happy wht your pipes


reaon for the black is cause your fule persure reg is 1 to 1 so it see's boost now when you romp ont eh gas you fule will get very rich tell it sees the boost it needs to sort out your fule curve

so that is fully norm now if you get apexi super afc then you can tune your fule so you wonte run as rich

remmber stock is like 10.2 ratio 11 is for power and good road tune 11 for the dyno i must say cause you are ont eh border line of being to lean


any way it is fully normale


just switch your oil weight and you be fine and oil catch can will help as well

[NashMan]

Originally posted by Matt6003

just got to buy one thign at time and one day you have a trubo on your car

i say you see turbo on ebay cheep buy it find manfold on ebay or other buy it and after aweil you have every thign you need


don't worrie you can turbo the na block and have good motor just can't go to high in boost cause of the ecu being slow i say trubo your na you be the only one on the iland

[Enraged]

get chris at $$$$$$$$ to tune it, apparantly a supra picked up over 50 rwhp for about $250 worth of tuning time.

well i got the new springs and brakes 90% on the front of the car, just need to paint the calipers and bracket for the drivers side, then grab some new copper washers to reinstall the brake lines. also talked with my cousin today, hes getting his celica painted for about $1300... so now im seriously considering it. my rear bumper is very faded, the trim with the colormatched paint isnt quite colormatched, and i can get them to fill the holes on the hatch and fix the few dents....

[NashMan]

coool do it up toby


mabye one day i make my car pretty baaaaaaaaaaaaaa fuck it going fast is hella more impotian to me

[Enraged]

ya, ive been taking notice of the paint issues recently, stuff like minor rust on the right rear fender well, bubbling paint on the hood leading edge, etc... it would be a good time to flare/roll the fenders too....

[islandsupra]

where did your cousin get it painted?

I REALLLLLY need new paint, but I think I am done spending money on the supra for this season - at least until tax return season. I still have to get the tires mounted, then balance and align and have my clutch changed.

Unless of course any of you knows of a good deal on a SAFC somwhere? Still not decided on if I want to go with that or E-manage blue.

[NashMan]

if any thign get the new emange not the old one

or you can buy my set up sfac 2 and lex afm

[Matt6003]

Hmm i wouldnt mind new paint..... Gloss black with some metal flake....

[islandsupra]

colour changes are a sonofabitch.

[arturiusma7]

how much were u selling ur safc for again ryan...

[islandsupra]

how much do you want for just the safc?

All I want is to be able to put my car on the dyno and get a good tune. I think the emanage blue would be more than enough for my cars needs. It has ignition control, compensation for injectors and 16x16 fuel tuning capabilities.
And I want to wait until next year before I start thinking about fuel/turbo upgrades... I'm also still running a stock headgasket :stupid:

[Enraged]

ill find out whos doin my cousins paint, its a backyard shop apparantly, but the guy does excellent work im told...

[NashMan]

hey diven i have a oil catch can for you it pretty cheep if you want it i made it at work 25 buck's made out of alumin

[arturiusma7]

yea sure ill grab it from u. so ill juts give u 150$. Ryan gets paid on thursday so he said he would send me the money then, my cheque is still on hold for some gay ass reason...

[NashMan]

no biggy

[Matt6003]

Finally gonna fix my roof tomorrow, the parts i ordered from toyota are in :D Now i'll be able to wash it without it leaking

[arturiusma7]

jesus, ive been noticing lately that the boost comes on so much faster with these hardpipes... actually blew through a 4 way stop because i was being an idiot.... at least i know my abs works...:)

[NashMan]

weigh tell you get bigger turbo it is the biggest shocker

or raise your boost to like 20 psi range

[arturiusma7]

lol i dont wanna raise my boost anymore till i find out my a/f and shiiit.. also i wanna find out where my fuel cut is... i hit .8 bar in 3rd... never hit cut... but maybe thats my max.. who knows. Chad is going to take me for a spin in his car tomorrow... WEEE!!

[NashMan]

your air fuel ratio is stock ish the ecu will just say this si hwo it is and that is it

the scrw back out thing just amke's tad leaner and helps wiht fule cut

[islandsupra]

i din't hit fuel cut until 14.5psi after we backed the screw out.... so just be careful

[islandsupra]

holy, first decent drunk post!!!

[Millsy]

Due to the fact I'm too cheap to buy some new rims, I spent about an hour today sanding & polishing one of my sawblades so they didn't look so shitty.

I'm quite happy with the way its turning out. Its not nearly as hard as some have made it out to be, maybe I'm just cheating tho :) . I'll take some progress pics once I have them all up to standard.

After the sawblades, I'm gonna do some engine components.

[Matt6003]

I've been thinkin about polishing one of my sets of sawblades
