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:

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?

i'm always torn between those and the SP500's both are stunning

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 ;)

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. :D

 

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.

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.
