supradibbs Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 (edited) This project started well guess nearly 2 years ago i just wanted to restart the thread as the car is currently undergoing more changes If a mod can move this too the project section would be great It all started with th sale of my beloved black single 6 speed, after selling i soon found myself wanting it back, that off course was not gonna happen as it was now living in Denmark. So what better time than to build my ultimate Supra a big single 6 speed Areotop. Firstly i sourced a smashed 6 speed which already had a T78 conversion Apexi ECU exhaust and a few handy parts, i spent around 2 months stripping parts i needed and parts too sell on the generate some cash flow for the project. Thanks for Colin aka CJ who supplied me a tierd but netherless a great NA Areotop for a bargin price condition was not imoprtant as i had big plans off a ground up rebuild I will start with a few pictures of the donor cars sadly some off the very first pics got lost but here goes. The two cars together http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s79/supradibbs/CIMG</p><p> 0222.jpg A try fitting off the kit Edited January 24, 2009 by supradibbs (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supradibbs Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 Then it was time to start pulling the NA apart Whilst the engine was out it was a good change to get the car painted in the new colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supradibbs Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 Then it was time to fit the new engine;) I fitted a greddy 4 row intercooler but had no ic pipes so custom pipes were made to suit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supradibbs Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 During engine install along with the pipes i had a custom catch tank fabricated, the electric fans and the fluidyne rad installed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Missed this completely the first time round, surprised there were no responses for so long! I knew you'd done a lot of work on the car to get it to where it is today but never realised how much until now.

supradibbs Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 I ran the car for about 6 months but went through about 4 or for front main oil seals. The car was taken too lee at SRD where we noticed damage o the end of the crank, it was quickly decided to take the car to the next level Jamie sold me the engine from his old red supra which had spun a shell and required new bearings new piston and new rod i placed a order with Titan for the replaced cp piston corrilo rod new rings and new clips, the rest off the spec included titan main caps. Also decided to order greddy 1.6mm headgasket PHR oil pump Virtual works racing intake manifold PHR custom fuel system 1000cc injector PHR rair PHR Billet pump hangar and Titan crank pulley and BC valve train:eyebrows: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
