Stunner. Plenty left in that!

 

One of my most favorite Supras ever!!! Great build and stunning result! Gotta love white hardtop with facelift interior :D

 

That is one beautiful Supra you have there :D

 

That is very very nice. :D

 

Stunning! :)

 

Can't even describe how awesome this is... Wish i had the resources to own\build something like this :(

 

Alot of updates in a short period (for us :D)...awesome project!

 

Loving the wheels and that RMR intake manifold!:drool:

 

Wow, immense :thumbs:

 

Lovely car dude.

 

Great car mate. Congrats.

 

Thanks everyone. It's been a fun build.

 

Very nice, any info/pictures on what machining work they did to the head to get the 1/2" studs to work?

 

I don't remember if this is before or after the head was re-machined for the 1/2" hardware. Basically, the cast material circled in red between the valve retainer and where the stud would go had to be reamed out by .20". I had to take a 12-point socket in a lathe down by .15" as well. If I was going to do it over again I would just go 5/8" L19's. 1/2" studs are a PITA!

Nice build.. Will you bring it to TX2K12?

 

Possibly. I'll have to see how my schedule is at that time.

 

One word, excellent.

 

That looks great.

 

Thanks again!

Well, I fixed the misfire by installing brand new OEM coil packs. Cranked the boost to 30psi - the car made 980WHP. Then, I spun a bearing. Errrrr!

68.6 miles on this engine. 3rd oil change. Car wasn't running too rich/lean, no signs of detonation and the AEM logs looked perfect. I think a crappy machinist is to blame. I'll have more info later this week once I figure out what caused the failure.
