ok guys well a bit more got done today firstly i removed the cam covers and pulled off the old split gaskets and took the covers to my fathers work and sand blasted them http://imageshack.us/a/img836/6506/e5ih.jpg now all nice and clean and ready for painting also got my sandwhich plate for my oil filter/turbo feed line yesterday so that went on and is all fitted up nicely http://imageshack.us/a/img405/2784/mwae.jpg turbo has had the drain line fitted finally and boy was it a mish to get it to sit right but i got there in the end http://imageshack.us/a/img853/5668/7tkt.jpg wastegate has also been mounted properly now, downpipe will be going on tomorrow and then taking it in to get the wastegate plumbed into the downpipe (stupid New Zealand Laws) will up date again tomorrow =)

hey thanks for that Rich, i have got new ones for it anyway but when i went to pull them off the other day they almost undid by hand so yea... a bit loose not much got done today as i spent most of the day trying to track down a union bolt and plug lead #2 both to which i have found none of except from toyota nz which is very expensive =( i did however manage to finally finish up my drain line, just need to bolt turbo up and get correct length for it now then its on to the oil feed which i am going to run from a oil filter plate as i cant find a union bolt. so yea will keep ya all posted

i dont know whether this quite covers all your bases but you can use it if you want, photographer said its fine https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/886393_298534980275738_1757278298_o.jpg

ok guys so here are some photos of what ive been up to so far https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/579232_508526025873006_1096683229_n.jpg heres image of my car when it was altogether http://imageshack.us/a/img69/3711/6kmv.jpg went through the process of pulling all the front panels off http://imageshack.us/a/img812/7656/xypm.jpg forgot to get any images while removing exhaust manifolds etc but you probably have all seen one before so not a big deal =) then went and mocked up turbo manifold and turbo to see where everything should be sitting http://imageshack.us/a/img6/5088/s9qi.jpg after coming across the dizzy cap hitting the turbo i decided to go the 4 Runner Dizzy route and have since gotten that bolted up nicely and just waiting on a 2nd #2 lead to be able to put leads back in turbo all mounted after dizzy swap http://imageshack.us/a/img21/6396/vdos.jpg oil drian has been drilled just waiting on another drain flange to finish the drain lines and mount turbo properly and thats about it for the last couple of days, will have a look at either drilling the union bolt or getting a already drilled one from toyota tomorrow it also needs a really good clean in the engine bay so plz dont tell me to clean it =) i know its dirty and have got plans to get it clean once adjusties r in and i can roll it outside

yea i took ur guys advice and am now a paid member =) so far the NA-T thread has been a huge help in the last couple of hours and solved a couple of my more pressing issues so thanks for that, i will post pics once i find my camera cable so watch this space

im a non paid member.. not sure who to ask to let me in to see it

thanks guys fo input i ended up just undoing the engine mounts and raised the motor a good 5 inches and managed to get a decent sized drill into it ( a lot of cutting compund was used to catch swarf =) ), if anyone has a link to a thread on where to run intercooler piping it would be muchly appreciated if you could post it here =) pics up later tonight

Hey guys, so i thought it was about time i started my NA-T build finally and have ahd a good start so far with getting the manifold installed and removing a fair bit of unessisary c**p around the motor (pics to come soon) last night i managed to get my oil return drilled out bt just wondering is 10mm a big enough drain size? as to get it any bigger id really need to take the motor out which i am loath to do at this point cheers pics to come tonight after work

also just wondering if the oil return line on the sump was already to go or did you have to drill it out? cheers

hey mate any chance you could email me a link to these photos or email me some up close on how u mounted your intercooler?? ive just started my NA-T Build and am trying to decide where to mount it cheers

hey man i dont suppose you could take a photo of where you ran your drain line for the turbo too? im doing NA-T Conversion and just after ideas on where to place it =)

hey guys guna start my NA-T conversion soon just wondering if the factory 2jzge sump has a plugs on it somewhere that i can hook up as a oil return line for the turbo? to save having to drill and weld the sump? also if it does can someone post a pic or link me to one please =) cheers

ok sweet as, just thought id throw the idea out there since itd be a much shorter path for the intake but i guess without running meth u all suggest an intercooler, cheers

hey guys im not sure if this has been done by anyone here so bear with a silly question if it hass been =) im going to NA-T my 1995 Supra but due to how the NA intake maifold runs over the rocker cover i was contemplating running straight from turbo to intake without running an intercooler as its so close together? any thoughts or suggestions on this would be appreciated =) cheers guys

hey guys my fav color is either white with gold rims (pic is of my car) or i have taken a liking to the cannry Yellow =) http://sphotos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/537149_491704270888515_427212522_n.jpg sorry wont let me post photo

easily sourced not so much they are around but are fairly expensive my friend just sold one for $2200

thanks for opinions guys Nic the motor is as far as i know stock internals from non vvti aristo, come with loom factory ecu, motor intercooler manifold turbo and all lines etc all ready to go

Hey guys ive decided that i want to make my MKiv turbo trying to decide whether i spend around 5k (NZD) on getting a kit in from the USA and a Link ECU, or the other option is i have a friend with a 2jzgte single out of an aristo thats been setup for manual but it will cost me more to do it this way but it is already setup, any idea's/ suggestions on the better choice? also im not aiming for huge numbers if i can get close to or just over 300KW i will be more than happy cheers Scott

Hey Guys Im new here and looking forward to getting a bit more involved in things, Currently got a NA mkiv Supra 1995 JDM spec, im From New Zealand so hit me up if you wana know anything else cheers

sweet as not aiming for a high powered build just want a bit more than my NA can give me

Hey guys, im new to the forums and have owned my Mkiv Supra for about 5 months (1995 SZ) im wanting to do a turbo conversion but just wondering about the durability of the driveshafts etc compared to the RZ models as we have silly Certifications for modified vehicles here, if anyone has any knowledge about this it would be much appreciated cheers

i must say dude that is a very nice car, lots of time, money and love, looks to have gone into creating this monster
