Paul Whiffin Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) The turbo is back, I've had it here for about 10 days now, just catching up on everything after the bloody flu I had last week. Your Borg Warner turbo is now a billet Borg Warner turbo, along with the polished comp cover and heated coated exhaust housing, looks like new again: Edited October 13, 2014 by Littler (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 Nice and shiny. I'm really eager to see how this beast spools with the billet internals. Any news on the block yet Paul? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxluc Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 As soon as I'll have my Supra back, new rims will be ordered. I will go for a set of CCW 505 in the following dimensions: Front : 19x10 rim with 265-30/19 R888 Rear : 19x11.5 rim with 305-30/19 R888 What do you think?

Luxluc Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 Those SP500's look great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Both of those wheels are very sexy, I think the SP500's are nicer personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 The 505's are a good choice mate, will finish it off nicely. Maybe an idea to get someone make you an photoshop to get an idea how they'll look under yours in 18'' and 19''. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 I really like the 505's. They are very special and not seen at all over here. The CCW classics are quite regular in France. Henrique (the second single Supra in Luxembourg) has them on his red Supra, and I want something different. The Sp500 are nice Paul ... but too much common style. I need something out of the norm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 How about SSR wheels Luc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxluc Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 I just had a look Paul. The SRR are not my cup of tea. The CCW 505's do it for me. I always come back to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxluc Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) Block is being bored for the moment. All the parts are ready to go in once Paul gets the block back. I hope to be able to run the engine in beginning of March. I will pop over to the Island to do a lot of miles in a short period of time. As soon as the car is running, it will get the custom made 4" DP/MP done, the Supra will then pass at WIM for a geo setup. I hope to be able to stick to the meeting with Ryan on the hub dyno : planned for 12th of March.

Paul Whiffin Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Some updates at last! The good news is its all back in the car and running, there was a big delay because of the first engine block going porous after boring. We've never seen this before, not on a 2JZ anyway, first time for everything though. I took a few pictures as we went, I'll update with some new under bonnet pics & a soundclip soon.
