Hay all. Ok finally got the car finished today. I need to do some exhaust modification but all is done and the car runs. Many bumps on the way with not having all the corrects parts but a massive thanks to Ryan G and Paul Whifin for the help and advise.

 

Sorry on the lack of pictures towards the end of the build, I just didn't have time to take them.

 

The spec:

 

6766 DBB Precision Turbo

Whifbitz Twin Waste Gate Manifold

Twin Trial Waste Gates With Screamers

EGT Sensor

All Gubins to complete Conversion

 

Ok Turned up at my mates workshop, my 1st job was to remove bumper, inlet parts and headlights

And with the turbo being able to support it self

While Alex was away for a few hours doing an wheel alignment I had to link up all vacuum pipes and get the little bits done here and there.

Exhaust on and screamers fitted. You can see the exhaust needs to be lifted higher.

A video of the 1st start up. What a great feeling no issues as at all :)

 

 

And a small vid of what it sounds like at low boost. I have to be careful as its not mapped yet. But it sounds immense in person :D

 

 

Thanks for reading. Hope you enjoyed. Next up.. Custom Dash2 Display.

Nice to see a Supra being built and not broken..

 

Good Luck!

 

Thanks mate, its silly all these broken cars with people getting the GTR fever. GTR's will start to become more common than ants! Although on the plus side, it makes our Supras more unique.

 

 

is that jamies turbo from his last set up? i bet you could get alot more than that after some engine work :D

 

No mate this is the turbo he bought and didn't use due to wanting a quicker spool. It was going to so onto his Supra until he bought a GTR. But the wategates and manifold was from his set up.

Mate i reckon you want to be removing that breather filter on the cam-cover, i have heard of horror stories about oil leaking out of these and causing a fire hazard. Other than that it looks great buddy

 

yeah that

 

also you should of cranked it for longer to get oil in the lines you would be surprised how long you have to crank until oil comes out,thats just a note to others

great job though looking good will be a nice result i bet
