- Back to working on the engine while the car is away to the bodyshop. Took the rest of the stuff of the engine to get it degreased and cleaned - Changed the rocker cover gaskets and at this point i already took the sump out, drilled and tap the hole for the oil drain and put it all back together but forgot to take pictures - So anyway, painted the block satin black and put the 4 runner dizzy cap on. - Got the vband flange welded on the xspower manifold to fit the Tial wastegate and also got the manifold braced to be safe - Engine bay got painted and got the car back now - Clutch arrived from Garage Whifbitz and got it on ready to put engine back in

- Engine mounted to crane - Got the engine out after a miserable two hours as the driver side mount kept getting stuck on the steering rack so had to remove that and had to fiddle around with the engine crane chain to give leverage to one side so it pulls it out easily...but in the end got it out . Lots of oil everywhere as the rocker cover gasket was leaking heavily. - Started taking engine apart - Put the engine stuff aside for today and started prepping the engine bay a little bit and got it out to the bodyshop for painting and also took a picture with a ferrari in the lockup, because why not loll

So finally getting around to starting a build thread, although most of the work is already done now up till the point of putting engine back in and test fitting some of the stuff so here goes for the rest of the stuff and pics and so on for build so far. Did most of the work with a help of a few friends and its starting to get there now . Spec: - T61 Turbo - Xspower manifold - Stock hg and injectors - Tial MVR 44mm wastegate with 7psi spring - Garage whifbitz oil sandwich plate - 4an oil feed and 10an oil return - Front mount intercooler - 2.5" intercooler piping - Xs-power downpipe - Emanage Ultimate, 3 bar map sensor - Spec stage 3 clutch - Innovate MTX-L AFR wideband and guage - Boost guage, Oil temp and pressure guage - Electric Radiator fans - The day it started, gave it a nice wash and wax - Started by taking the bumper, headlights, battery out - Started draining fluids - coolant, oil etc - took the radiator out and removed the clutch fan - removed the intake pipe and exhaust manifold heatshield - removed exhaust, exhaust heatshield and driveshaft - Removed shifter and bonnet and disconnected all the wiring loom connectors, pulled the loom out the firewall, removed the transmission mounts, fuel filter lines and various other stuff...engine ready to come out now

Great, thanks

Yea i was looking at the AN10 flanges for the 2jz-gte and they seem to be wider to allow for that gap to be filled. Just wondering, are the holes for the bolts on the gte spaced out the same as the ge block?

Hi guys, So yesterday I noticed that the oil drain flange has a very little gap between the sump hole and the flange, never noticed it when i test fitted it before which is weird but need some advice on fixing this. You can see in the attached picture the gap. Is it just a bad flange? Should i just get a bit welded on the flange to extend it and get a custom gasket made? Help/advice would be appreciated. Thanks

thanks. Any tips on dropping engine and tranny back in without scratching the paint? loll towels everywhere?

Do you by any chance have a link to the ones you bought? its the single wire ones right? Also these universal ones did you have to cut and wire them into the stock wires to make it fit the loom connectors i take it yea?

Now to put the engine back in with the turbo

Got mine today. Many thanks

Hi, Wondering if anyone knows of a decent tuner/mapper in scotland, preferably in/around Glasgow that can map an emanage ultimate for my NA-T project. I have heard Barry at BJF performance in drumchapel has worked on emanage units but just wondering if there are anymore that forum members recommend/know of? Thanks

Great, will keep you updated incase it comes in this week

hey supragal, I know you said to let you know if I havent received the pack by end of this week so just leaving a message to say I haven't received it yet :/

Thanks looking to forward to getting mines

Automek in east kilbride have a good reputation aswell. They are actually converting an na just now as well as far as i am aware mate.

just signed up for the full club membership aswell so looking forward to the supra community as a official member now

cheers guys and SPG i guess we have more in common than just love for the supra lol. and yea will definitely be around for meets. There are quite a few bits i need to sort out in the car first as it is misfiring and the exhaust is melting the new bumper aswell so hopefully will make the next meet if the car is all ready.

Hi, so i have been signed up to this forum for a while now but never got around to introducing myself. Name is sunny, I bought my supra last year. It is a 1994 Supra SZ 5 speed. Recently had a respray done and aiming to go NA-T soon. I am from Glasgow and will be looking to attend meets and events regularly for now on. Anyway, hi and look forward to meeting the rest of you in the community and learning more about supras. Thanks Sunny
