AGB Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 It's so nice to see attention to detail in builds like this! Hats off to you! Watching this very closely for inspiration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjavon Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 My oil line parts arrived a few days ago so I've been working on my lines:D I haven't done the feed from the oil filter housing yet but the rest are now sorted. As i'm pretty tight for space in a few areas I had to make a few alterations to my first ideas and flanges:oo Oil return pipe I've ordered a couple of nice little anodised clamps to hold the pipe in position across the top of the cam cover. This is my main area of concern, as you can see it's pretty close to the manifold. At the tightest point theres about a 25mm gap but if I'd got a 90º fitting it would hit the turbo flange and make the silicone pipe and clamp on the compressor housing very tight if not touching. Thats a 45º fitting and I've welded the thread on the bracket at an angle both ways to make it sit at that position. I think thats as good as it's going to get:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 coming along nicely its threads like this that make me think i should keep my NA and just do a na-t conversion. keep it up mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supradibbs Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Would be nice too know how you made a 4" intake pipe work the supra am working on for a guy right now only has a 3" intake and i have already installed a 4runner dizzy cap still has naff all clearance for a intake pipe Also did you use a high temp paint for the cam covers etc, do you think it will take the temps ok?

I think it's the positioning that the boostlogic manifold places the turbo mate. Yes I did use high temp paint for the cam covers, it's the BBQ type paint you get from B&Q or similar so I would imagine it'll take the temps. The gun metal is only normal paint. I'm hoping it will not melt but only time will tell;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTurtleshead Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I need some of those clamps in my life, where did you get them mate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 (edited) Do you think, It's what I had knocking around the garage to be honest and is only stuck on with double sided tape for now. It just looked to open without something there, any other idea's as I do sort of agree with you;) Well in my honest opinion the original Toyota 3000 sticker that is usually there finishes them off nicely IMO. If there's one thing I hate the most is when people slap the supra logo anywhere and everywhere on the car. It looks tacky. Must admit this is probably the tidiest NA-T build I've seen on this forum. Nice work. Edited November 18, 2011 by Kirk (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice work. Haha OK fair enough, The Toyota 3000 sticker is on my toolbox as it's all marked and faded etc so thats not going back on. I'd prefer the logo than nothing so thats staying until I find something better Thanks for the input though:thumbs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOSTA Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Mate ! Just a quick one, for your oil drain is that a stright fitting going into the sump? Just as I had a stright fitting on mine and it would not fit because of some sort of bolt was sticking up in the way! I had to get a 45degree -10 fitting to avoid it. I'm not sure if this will be the same for you but just somthing to check for. Ps: it's looking fantastic mate keep up the good work! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 (edited) Question, do you have an oil restrictor in place at the turbo end of the feed as your line looks rather large for a feed! Edit: Ignore my stupidity, must of been the close up shot that made it look bigger than it was, that and I've had a few to drink this evening Edited November 21, 2011 by Kirk (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
