Andrew`s Single turbo 6 speed V161 Build

Recommended Posts

The nice newly repaired Turbo is now fitted to the manifold and the pipe work is now all finished and routed neatly down to the intercooler, also had the mounting flange welded on for the HKS dump valve and is now all fitted :) next job is the down pipe & mid pipe.

Looks like Lee & the guys have been very busy :) Lee sent me over this video clip earlier of the first start up of my engine install, there are a few teething issues to get sorted but nothing major, one of which is the v band on the turbo is blowing as you might hear from the clip. Lee said there were no leaks at all on start up and it started on the button on his base map and all sensors on the syvecs are working fine. :)

 

 

Been having a play around to see if I can get my YouTube video clips up the way you see most people do it, think I've finally figured it out. :) better than just having a link!

When you start a new post there is a film/movie clip picture in the same bar as the "font" & "size" et cetera, cut the whole youtube link from the address bar and paste it in there.

Cheers mate, I was trying for ages last night to get the YouTube clip up like you've just done for me. I'm sure I tried that and put the hole YouTube link from the address bar into that film / movie clip picture that your on about and it just came out the same as my attempt last night! Will have to have a play around with it some more and see how I get on, was the first time I've ever uploaded a clip to YouTube and tried getting it onto the forum.

Thank you for the nice comment James, I am a bit fussy when it comes to doing things on the supra and always give it my full attention to get things looking as good as they can. A big Thanks goes to you guys at SRD as you've done an outstanding job as always fitting all the parts and putting your touch on it :) I've been collecting parts and doing what I have to get things ready for quite a few years now and never thought I'd see the day this lot would be in my car! Still seems a bit unreal but it's finally there.

 

Sounds nice then :D That's good to hear as I was hoping it might.

Had a progress report & some pictures from Lee over the weekend :) the Cal switch has now been installed, was toying with a few different ideas of where to fit it but in the end it was put in the centre console arm rest. i know the foam insert i made myself for the ipod doesn`t look to brilliant but i will be addressing that when i get the car back, want to make it more solid / presentable and wrap it in a vinyl so it matches the dash texture.

Had another update from Lee :) while they were out doing some road mapping Lee noticed that the front wheels are rubbing in the arches a bit, i had new Tein coilovers fitted quite a few years back now and as my supra was an N/A the front springs needed changing so to get the car sitting right, now with the heavier engine the original springs need to go back on (luckily i kept them) which Lee and the Team have been sorting out and while the shocks were off the car the Green paint work was looking a bit sorry for it`s self! so they gave them a rub / clean down and freshened them up with a coat of paint. :)
