johnd-mkiv Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Hello, couldn't stay away found my self in the supra world again. Ive got my hands on a wide arch supra thats in need of work, main project being a built engine with a single turbo set up. I need help with parts choice and tips on my build, don't want to overlook something that will later come back to haut me, and parts that were good (when I was last on here) are now superseded. Ill be running a 6 speed box my aims are 700+ bhp I want something that's wild yet drivable, not like that chuck Norris car I see on here piston choice? ive used wiseco on several builds, but most seem to favour JE or CP pistons. compressin ratio, from memory my last supra was running 8.5:1 head gasket, ive read some used an oem gasket over a hks ect ? rods? carrilo seem to be favourite but have seen a few with eagle rods. cams? what duration would cover me in the achievable hp with the option of going higher and again not be to aggressive. Head work? valve springs and retainers? bearings? acl seem favourite? ARP - rod , head and main bolts Main caps? these are listed in big builds are oem prone to fail? turbo kit? so many available at the moment not sure whats a dinosaur now and whats new injectors, size again with an allowance for more bhp. any help and advice will be greatly appreciated john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 You can't go wrong with Mahle pistons and Carillo rods. Head work is always nice ... although not really necessary for 700 bhp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnd-mkiv Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 The supras have always amused me with the power side, now 700hp considered tame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 The supras have always amused me with the power side, now 700hp considered tame Make me laugh too, "Im only after 600hp" What, top end hyper car power? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 366S turbo kit, 264 cams, ARP bolts, 1000 cc injectors, Syvecs and a few other little bits and away you go, reliable 650 bhp, no need for built engine IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnd-mkiv Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 I want my options open to go higher as I will get bored and 700 being a base figure, hit 600 with my first car and got bored after 6 months craving more power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Pistons - use Mahle, these are pretty much the best out there, F1 teams use them for a reason. Carillo rods are the best, BC 625+ rods are a good choice as well. Standard Toyota head gasket. Our 280 cams work a treat on big power cars, especially when combined with one our big valve heads, both proven to work to over 1300bhp so far. We use Clevite bearings on all of our engine builds, from standard to big power. ARP head and main studs, rods come with there own bolts included. Std main caps unless you are going for more than a 1000bhp, even then its rare to see them breaking. Turbo kit, depends on your power goals, many many different options out there. We mainly use the Borg Warner turbos with billet comp wheels on our turbo kits. A 66mm billet turbo will make 800bhp with all the supporting mods to go with it, and it'll be fast spooling too. Fuel system, again depends on your ultimate power goals. Asnu 1000cc injectors will do 900bhp with one of our fuel rail kits, one Walbro 450lph pump will do 800bhp. You'll need regulator and fuel lines to go with it. We can supply it all if needed, if you're buying in bulk I can do a good price on it all for you.
