I like the look of the carbon ones for mine Haha I did wonder if you was asking me or not They are a pita one of the worst jobs I've done mate, not so much hard just terrifying cutting a hole in a freshly painted car! But once your car's running I would be happy to lend a hand if you bring the car to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markssupra Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I'm not that brave yet to cut holes through my fresh paintwork, well done to you though, they do look good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 I took a trip up to SRD today to drop of most of the parts needed to finish the engine. lee and I had a chat about the rest of the build and turbo choice and some other features that will all be revealed as it coming together, exciting Meanwhile I have some aeroquip stainless brake lines and fittings on their way to me for the relocation of the lines and should tidy the bay up a bit. Once this is done I can put the heater matrix and the dash etc back in and that will pretty much be the car ready to take to SRD to have the rest of the work done. Still on schedule for July fingers crossed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaan W Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 Not alot to update as ive been ill, again! But I have the Aeroquip hose and fittings for the brakes and started making the lines up and test fitting everything. Box of goodies Started with the two bulkhead fittings for the rear brakes and the front passenger side brake - The third port you see is for the front drivers side brake which goes straight down into the wheel well, I will get round to this one after ive completed the rest. On the other side of the bay by the passenger footwell you can see the newly routed copper pipe where it comes through and Tee's off onto the back brakes. How it looks inside the cabin, from bulkhead fittings copper runs below the heater matrix and behind the ecu plate into the engine bay which you saw on the picture above. Bearing in mind there will be a second copper pipe taking the same route but exiting a bit further along into the passenger wheel area for that brake. If you look close at the top right of the picture you can see where the two bulkead 90 degree fittings come through, they still need connecting up. Thats the rear brake lines almost sorted next will be the two fronts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 Still waiting for another brake fitting from Summit racing, seems I mis entered the wrong part so I'm stuck until this arrives. A pita really as it costs another $35 to post for one little item! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do I. I will come back around July to get the 1400cc ASNU's fitted and the Supra remapped on ethanol. I hope your beast is finished by then. Are you decided on what turbo to go for yet?

We my have to meet then mate as mine should be finished and due for mapping in July I have been speaking with Lee on turbo choice but nothings definite, I'll update when it actually arrives Edit: It does involve using solid engine mounts though Edited March 26, 2014 by Kaan W (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markssupra Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Brake hoses looking good mate, looks familiar You may want to put some heat resistant sleeve on those by the brake booster, hot exhaust and turbo are quite close. Ask Lee what he thinks, I put it on mine as the twins seem a lot closer than a single. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask Lee what he thinks, I put it on mine as the twins seem a lot closer than a single. Thanks mate I did wonder whether it's worth putting sleeving on but then again the oem pipes were roughly in that position and seemed to be ok. I'll most probably heat sleeve the line that goes downwards into the drivers front brake as this may get a little hot. All in all its coming along ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
