Thank you... It's getting there and can't wait for it to all be done

Ok a little update on this: Ok so now we have fitted a full Superpro poly bush kit to the Supra. The Superpro poly bush kit replaces all of the stock suspension arm bushes, front and rear, replacing the worn out standard bushes that have been on the car for 20 years! The Superpro poly bush kits really transform the handling and the way the Supra feels on the road, especially when combined with an anti roll bar upgrade and coil over kit. On the car and to no suprise every nut and bolt on the suspension was seized solid, this will not have help with the way the car was previously handling. So we replaced all of the suspension nuts and bolts with new Toyota parts, once setup all of these parts will transform the way the car will handle I hope anyway. Next we removed and refitted the diff and rear subframe to fit our Whifbitz Supra solid subframe and diff mounts to the car. The Whifbitz diff mount set, CNC machined from aluminium and steel, these parts are designed to eliminate wheel hop and stop any movement in the drivetrain. As the cars are getting older and older we are seeing more and more of the stock bushes wearing out increasing movement which causes the diff to move around, not what you need. The diff mount kit comes with: Aluminium diff ear mounts, these simply press into the diff after removal of your standard mounts. Anodised blue for a fantastic long lasting finish. Steel weld in rear mounts, these needs to be welded in replacing the standard mounts The rear subframe kit comes with: Aluminium rear subframe front mounts, these replace the stock rubber bushes which must be removed the subframe. The replacement aluminium bushes push into the holes, no need for a press. Aluminium rear subframe rear mounts including anti roll bar mounds, all built in. Simple remove your standard rubber mounts and fit these replacements We started assembling the engine back together today. To take the extra boost we are going to be running with this build the engine needed the compression ratio lowering. To do this we fitted a good used set of standard Supra 2JZ-GTE TT pistons with brand new Toyota piston rings and a Toyota Supra 2JZ-GTE TT head gasket, these 2 modifications will provide a low enough compression ratio to run 1.5 bar boost no problem. The engine is really coming along now, its pretty much back together now. As you can see from the pictures I went with our Whifbitz 2JZ adjustable cam pulleys, along with our lightweight Whifbitz 2JZ engine pulley set in blue. I'm also going with one of our Whifbitz twin electric fan kits so for that extra touch we fitted one of our Whifbitz billet water pump covers finish off the water pump. This build needed some larger injectors so we went with the Asnu Performance 800cc 2JZ-GE drop in injectors, these fit straight into the standard fuel rail and plug into the standard Toyota engine loom so no cutting needed. These will easily supply enough fuel for the 550bhp that we have planned. I'm lucky to have the first production version of our Whifbitz NA-T 2JZ-GE manifold fitted to his car. I think the manifold offers great value for money whilst still performing well enough for the engine to produce its 550bhp target. Yay... the engine is now fitted back in the car. As you can see from the pictures the cam covers, turbo housing and inlet plenum have all be highly polished. Please ignore the manky looking engine cover and rusty pulleys, we will be paying attention to those parts later.

Stop tempting me with more parts:(

My na is having extra power added with the na-t but with all the stuff I'm doing we are talking 20k

Still ok to jump in on this?

Oh no... That car has been parked 2 roads from mine the last month or 2. Hope its no ones on here as it is a dog :/

I like it... Looks good I hope I don't follow having just taken things from him too lol

No going for big big KSport breaks all round

Pail will come up with something I'm sure. I like the look of the FMIC

It didn't look as good in the flesh lol.... they were very good pics trust me. It will be having a full respray after any way. Now cant decide if I should go for the big wing on the back or not.

Give Paul at Whifbitz a shout he's about to do mine

Looks very nice and seems to have a good finish on the paint

We were going with the side mount when we did the first run through all the parts but that was aiming at around the 400bhp figure. Now we are trying for 550bhp a nice big FMIC will be going on. The front bumper is a mess and needs a good tidy up.

Well the first update is back from Whifbitz as they got started on the car, still waiting on parts to be delivered. One of the first things to go ahead was changing the suspension, what’s the point of all the power if the car hasn’t got the handling to take it, power is nothing without control. This is just one of the first in the line of modifications to help the handling. So off with the old original leaking shocks and on with the brand new nice and shiny BC Racing fully adjustable coilovers. I hope these will really make a huge difference in the way the car feels and sticks to the road. And for more grip we are fitting these rather tasty Rota Force 9×18 and 10.5×18 alloy wheels. These are fitted with 245/35 front tyres and massive 295/30×18 rear tyres, not only does this combination look good but it will increase the grip levels massively. The rear wheel arches had to be rolled to fit this size of wheel/tyre on the back. The nice Carbon bonnet has also been fitted, not the sort of thing you want taking up all the room in the side of the workshop.

I don't have the knowledge or know how let alone half the tools to do it myself. With the amount of money most the parts cost I wouldn't want to do my rough job on it and hope it works, then to spend the next 2 years not driving it as I can't find the problems. Plus after this there is still a lot more to be be done on the car inside an out Oh and of course there is the little addition of the seats I got my hands on a couple of weeks back thanks to someone here ... Pics fitted to come

At the moment I'm going with it cost what it costs and I don't think this car will be going any where for a long long time

Not too sure yet but with everything I have added including carbon bonnet ect it's a hell of a lot :/ .... So far well over 5 times what I paid for the car... Ops

That has been talked about... May get a bit messy adding it in though, depends on how it all goes with ignition ect... :/

I hope so, was reading your post the other day about the box and started to get a little excited

Well it's been a long time since I have started a thread on here but here goes... Having had my 3rd Supra n/a now for around 16 months and having driven around 400 miles in that time (I know not very good is it), I decided I wanted to be little different and more extreme with the n/a without going for the normal TT engine swap. So I had a look around on here, as you do, and noticed that Paul at Whifbitz had a kit that looked a lot better than a lot of those cheap Ebay kits that you can get, and knowing his good reputation decided to have a chat with him about what i was after. Having sent a few emails asking plenty of silly questions about what mods were needed to get serious power from the engine. I seemed to get the timing of this project right as it was just as Paul was about to release the new version of his n/a-t kit, so I decided to take the plunge and order the kit that was advertised with dyno sheets to run at around 400bhp but I wasn't happy to stop there and wanted a greater figure to show that the n/a engine can have the power without having to swap engines (I knew this was not going to be cheap), after many chats with Paul and countless emails sent back and forward he helped get a list of mods that we hope will get the car to around 550bhp. So I set up my account on the Whifbitz website and started to make my wish list, this wasn't just just for engine mods but for few other cosmetic parts that I wanted to get as well... If your going to do something then you may as well go all in! It is also very easy to start adding lots of little bits that soon add up too. So the initial order was placed and then more and more added to it. With all the power that we are looking to get the main problem was always going to be the gearbox so after reading many threads on here and other places and a few chats with people (thank you to those on here) the choice was made to send off for an Autobox from Boostlogic. The box should be able to take around 600bhp so should be just right for this project. So this is the list that I have ended up with so far and I'm sure things will be added to it. Once the car has come back from Paul, and that could be some time, it will be off to a friends to have a full respray as the paint isn't that good in places and the front bumper needs looking at. Plus i did end up getting a Trial Rear bumper last week that needs to be fitted as well. I will keep this updated as thing progress over the coming weeks.... I can't wait!

love it

Mine is going to Paul at Whifbitz tomorrow. Using his new NA-t kit plus ordered in a boost logic auto box and other parts, will be changing for TT pistons and other parts. The aim is 500-550bhp for the build. Once I get more details on all parts we decide, plus pics and dyno graphs I can update

I thought I had got away with that... I pushed the blame onto Rolf Harris!

I thought it may be for the guns behind the number plate at first!

Took the seats out yesterday and found this under the drivers seat, looks like it has an aerial connection too it, Japanese signal booster?!? Taken a few seats out before and just not seen one before.
