Here's a quick pic of the crankshaft sprocket's we have tig welded, I know from first hand experience that the crank pickup washer can come off which in my case resulted in a lot of engine damage. Wont come off now!

Therefore I need to get a weld on flange from somewhere and im getting a custome downpipe fabricated. :D

 

Just started reading this. Good luck with it sounds like you know what you're getting into.

 

I'm wondering where you're getting the custom pipe made? I need a custom pipe for mine too as Toyota never put a V8 in the supra. Done a bit of searching myself and just interested as to who you've gone with.

 

Edited: ignore above, just read the rest of the thread.

I'm guessing that K&N Breather filter must be pretty close to the bonnet when it's closed :blink:

 

Looking good mr Ward, but are you going to get to run it in before Le Mans ?

Its getting tight, hopefully pick the car up tuesday next week.

 

Do 1000 miles before sat.

 

Fit the oil cooler and do an oil change on sat + fit guages etc.

 

Mapping on the Sunday.

 

Le Mans on the Wednesday.

We knew it would be tight but this is getting close now. Just got my fingers crossed the downpipe etc and water temp sensor turn up like they are meant to.

Don't do anything silly and end up regreting it mate. If you need any help clocking up low throttle, uber-mechcanically-sympathetic, fairy-driving-style miles I'm awesome at that. ;)
