wallis Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 As a few of u guys will know i had some bad luck a few weeks ago when my car decided to spit parts of its turbo out the exhaust when being dyno'd I thought i would start a project build and keep u posted on what im doing and hopefully get advise as im going along. I decided to go single rarther than down the hybrid route for the old tubbies and after loads of great advise from members on here, decided to go with the HKS 3037S kit, im wanting to run about 500bhp so im not going crazy by all means, but this would be great for me and im really excited about the project. see vid link below for this kit fitted to a supra. Heres my shopping list so far with almost everything bought: Engine Specifications: NGK BCPR7ES Plugs. Full Race Spec Alloy Rad. HKS 3037S Turbo Kit. (GT30R) K&N Induction kit. Greddy 2 Row Front Mounted 3" Intercooler. Fuel, Tuning & ECU: Walbro 255 Fuel Pump. HKS 660cc Inj. Apexi AVC-R Boost Controller. Greddy FCD. AEM Stand alone ECU Fluidyne 30 row oil cooler (Auto Box) Fluidyne 30 row oil cooler (Engine)?? A&F Gauge Oil Temp Guage Boost Gauge EGT Gauge Im not getting my turbo kit for a week or so, and tonight i decided to strip out the turbos pipework etc, lights, bumber and stock intercooler so i can start the install for the 30 row oil cooler for my auto gear box, going in place of the stock intercooler. I also need to purchase and fit an engine oil cooler the opposite side im not sure what size to go for though yet? Im thinking of another 30 row, nice and big + loads of air flow from the side intakes on the stock bumpers. Im also fitting a Greddy 2 Row Front Mounted 3" Intercooler which is going to be tight as fooke with a stock bumper, but i do like a challange here and there...lol Well thats it for now will keep u posted on progress with loads of pics and any advise or tips welcome guys Cheers. m.

Geo Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Is your car auto? If so the AEM ecu is not a good idea. From his garage dude, its defo an Auto. On another note, whats the best ECU out for the Auto? is it the syvecs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallis Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 Is your car auto? If so the AEM ecu is not a good idea. It's an auto jaime, I thought the aem stand alone was perfect for an auto bud, well I was told? I have seen u have a ecu for sale, so what would u go for, I was getting it mapped at advanced performance silverstone, they have done loads of single supras and recomended it for £1700 supplied fitted and mapped. Let me know what u would go for, I've not paid for anything yet ecu mapping wise so could change my plans easy yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use the AEM mate but you will still need to keep your stock ecu too to control the autobox - the AEM cant change the gears right it will drive like a bag of sh!t.

johnny g Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I'd seriously look at the Syvecs now that Ryan has it working on auto boxes like Lee's car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leelbuk Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Good luck with the build - should be good fun on an Auto! I've got this on mine but it's a manual. Out of interest what exhaust housing have you got on the turbo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AEM is no good on a auto dude, it cant control the gearbox very well and will be nasty to drive and kill the box. I did have a HKS f-con vpro for sale but thats gone now, if i was going single on a auto it would be Syvecs, F-con Vpro or motec for me. You will hear some people bad mouth Dan turner on this forum but imo he is a good mapper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan warned me there were some haters on here about him, but told me to ignore them, he's done some great projects which speak for them selves I guess!

wallis Posted August 20, 2010 Author Share Posted August 20, 2010 hi guys a little update, Just been stripping out some more of the front end tonight, i have removed the complete air-con set up and the old rad to make way for my new race spec alloy one, which i must say im well impressed with, its about 1" wider than the stock one so should do the job nicely, its a tight fit but she sits in perfectly. I have removed all the old intercooler pipes and am now just waiting on a fitting kit to arrive, so i can plan how the intercooler will be fitted, ive offered it up tonight and its very tight for a stock bumper....lol One thing i do need advise on is the aircon, i need to cap off the two connectors but dont have a clue what fittings to use, unless u can leave them as they are? My compressor is foooked and has not worked for about 4 years, im guessing it could be ok to leave because of this? Im waiting on loads of parts which is a bummer as i cant get on with as much as i would of liked too this weekend now. I was hoping my oil coolers would be here but there not! So the plan now for this weekend is to strip down the rocker cover and change the gasget (its got a few areas behind the turbos which are looking greasy) then change the cam belt. Once thats done the front end can then be put together for good, im also waiting on new silicone hoses for the rad, coming from japan. Ive decided im going crome and satin black under the bonnet with blue hoses all round I was wondering what kit people are buying for the engine oil cooler, i need a sandwich plate to run my lines and gauges from and wondered what peepz recommend?

JustGav Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 What's with the crank pulley? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallis Posted August 20, 2010 Author Share Posted August 20, 2010 What's with the crank pulley? Its shed a few pounds....lol No my CP went a few months ago and i couldn't get a replacement quick enough so i fitted this as a test to see what difference it made to the drive, performance wise. It does make a hell of a diff to the way the engine revs out, much pokier, downside as many a post has debated its not wise to stray away from the stock one due to the vibration jibba jabba thingy. I will probably change it back but im in no rush, the car does such little millage a year im hoping i will be safe to leave it on for the limited use i give her.

SupraHuman Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 AEM is no good on a auto dude, it cant control the gearbox very well and will be nasty to drive and kill the box. I had a AEM stand alone, no piggy back with my old BL box, no problem what so ever, shifted just like a stock auto, mapped by Ryan, so you can use the AEM for autos.

Hmmm, even with the vibrational downside it is interesting hearing realworld experience of the 2jz with one. Got me thinking, one of those and a lightened flywheel should be interesting....

wallis Posted August 21, 2010 Author Share Posted August 21, 2010 Todays been a good and bad day! Got the FMIC mounted and it fits as snug as a bug in a rug (hopefully my fitting kit will be here this week) Got the rest of the engine stripped ready for the cam belt change which would of been today however it seems i have been sent one for a nissan micra?? I Changed the rocker cover gasget and decided to paint the covers satin black as im defo going for the mad max look, however (BAD TIMES) every single one of my coil pack clips have fallen to bits so i now need to source 6 of these and splice them on to my loom, which is now another job to add to the list Hey if anyones got a quick fix to this let me know please guys!! I also decided to feature my car in now what looks like a circus tent to keep me dry......lol I think tommorrow im having a break, but hopefully this week i will have the cam belt done, change the plugs, source coilpack connectors, get the intercooler fitted with pipes, get the front end back together rad etc, get the oil coolers mounted and fitted, possibly get a sandwich plate sourced for engine oil cooler and run the lines for that..........the list goes on! Im hopefully getting the turbo kit this friday and im waiting on loads of other stuff turning up this week so will keep u posted. cheers, m.
