James Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 Only thing to note James with swapping out the t88 for a newer turbo is that the t88 is a long turbo, newer turbos are shorter so it makes the oil drain much tighter to fit and also the pipe work will have to be adjusting according to the new shorter turbo. Good luck with it Thanks for that dude - exactly why I love this forum - - - Updated - - - Only thing to note James with swapping out the t88 for a newer turbo is that the t88 is a long turbo, newer turbos are shorter so it makes the oil drain much tighter to fit and also the pipe work will have to be adjusting according to the new shorter turbo.

Paul Whiffin Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 If I were you I'd go with the Borg Warner 60mm billet version, that will spool very very fast and make an easy 650bhp. Plus they are bomb proof and very reasonably priced to go with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done some reading up on them and it has been nothing but thumbs up from what I can see! I'll see how the T88 goes first! What about something like this from Whifbitz to extend the oil return?

James Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 I would just like to add at this time that the conversations and transaction with Jurgen relating to this car only reinforces how renowned and professional JM-Imports really are when it comes to this service - I am really glad to have went down this route and I'm happy to give Jurgen my business for sure!

James Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 Someone did a quick photoshop to put the Classics onto one of the pictures. Of course it will also have the Kansai CF lip and the rear diffuser to finish it, but this is a good start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey. Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Here's what my standard oil feed I bought fitted like I used the old original greddy drain as a template and then had it fanned out of stainless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 That looks good! I'll worry about the oil feed if/when I change things. This is hoping that everything is up to scratch at present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Well, the boat left Japan on May 28th so the car is currently en route The CCWs have landed so they are just waiting for the rest of the car to arrive! The arches will need rolled to accommodate. I'm also currently sorting out an OEM facelift bumper so that'll be painted and fitted in time for collection too! Hoping that the car is ready for the Scottish Car Show on July 21st. Only things left to do when I collect it will be to fit the Kansai carbon lip and the diffuser. May take the lip down to Glasgow and try to fit it the day before the show. Unless any of the other locals wish to lend a hand in doing so?

Oh and what dash is that? Think I've seen it before but can't for the life of me remember the name of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and what dash is that? Think I've seen it before but can't for the life of me remember the name of it. I went for 18s all round on the CCWs buddy. I debated between that and the staggered 18/17 arrangement but decided to go all 18 in the end. So it is 18x10 up front and 18x11.5 at the rear. Should look good and sit nicely once I play with the coilovers a bit The dash is a Defi DSSC. I've never seen one on a Supra before. I think I'll need another degree to set it up though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it you just rang up CCW and worked out sizes etc then they made them and shipped them out? Also I don't suppose you could PM me a price, so I can see if they are out of my league price wise Ah Defi, not heard of that one, but know I think of it, it was a PHR one I was thinking of, looks very similar though, LOL have fun setting it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve.m Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Oh dear, wouldn't of gone for polished CCW's! Better stock up on metal polish. Look forward to seeing this when it lands, will look the nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
