Erick Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Hi guys, so I've been helping my mate Dan to put a turbo on his Supra NA, and here's the story First of all, english is my second language, so thats why the spelling, grammar and sometimes words is just wierd and wrong Me and Dan works at the same place since 7 years back and I've allways been into JDM sports cars, so he asked me to source a Supra for him. It was time to make the dream come true. This is how the car looked like when we bought it in Manchster in Mars 2012. The ad was found on this forum btw.. We got swedish plates on it and Dan was happily driving it as his daily for the summer season 2012. But time after time he got outrunned by bmw's and so on and the need for more power was a fact. He asked me what to do, and I said, lets put a turbo on it. In mars 2013 we went to the winter storage to get the supra and bring it to the garage and start the project Removed the bonnet, headlights, and started to remove some pipes and hoses.. We also modified the head lights from rhd-trafic to lhd-trafic. And when they where in pieces we took the opportunity to paint the chrome into matte black instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 Assembling again Polished the headlight glass Started to dessamble Removed the heat cover and started to remove original exhast manifold and catalyst The new exhaust manifold arrived! Bought from aliexpress. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/SUPRA-MK4-EXHAUST-MANIFOLD-TURBO-2JZGE-LEXUS-TWIN-T4-IS300-SC300/737979259.html Gonna be a little modified Welded some extra steel mounts between the flanges, to hopefully prevent the piping from cracking.. (well it is a china quality manifold ) Extra steel mounts welded The flange for the wastegate was some square type, and our wastegate was v-band so removed the square flange and welded on a v-band instead Then we left the manifold to a mechanical shop to get the flanges machined/flated (dont know the english word) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 Downpipe! We bought one with a flex, do additionally try to prevent the exhaust manifold from cracking.. This downpipe has only one flange for the o2 sensor, and we will fit another flange to use both sensors. btw all pictures is our own taken pictures, no product pics from the internetz.. Have to put in an older pic.. just after we bought the car in the UK.. Dan is happy.. In Dover, waiting for the ferry to france.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest fredde Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Kul att se fler svenskar här inne Anyhow we better keep it to English to keep the guys in here from having to use google translate all the time Any power figures Dan (or you) are aiming at, what kind of single turbo, body mods and so on?

Fly Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Very nice build so far. Nice to see it was a forum car in the first place. I am guessing its just a low boost NA-T at the minute? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 Kul att se fler svenskar här inne Anyhow we better keep it to English to keep the guys in here from having to use google translate all the time Any power figures Dan (or you) are aiming at, what kind of single turbo, body mods and so on? Tjo, sedär ja, ja det finns några stycken har jag sett Info om turbo osv kommer strax..! Very nice build so far. Nice to see it was a forum car in the first place. I am guessing its just a low boost NA-T at the minute? Thanks, we're going for about 0,7 bar boost at the top. We want to see that it's all working properly before we take the next step (more fuel and headgasket) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) I'm making ic mounts Bend to 80° Painted Mounted in the alu front bar Removed tow hook and some plastic panels to make room for the intercooler piping I also made mounts for the intercooler underneath Off coarse all bolt and blind rivets are stainless steel I think you can tow the car in this intercooler now.. I mounted the intercooler as tight possible to avoid being needed to modify the front spoiler Edited December 19, 2013 by Erick (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erick Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 Here's supposed to be a oil return! Me and Magnus removed the rear part of the front sub frame to get access to the oil pan. Loosen up some parts But it only took about 15 mins Removed! There it is.. Cell phone camera literally inside the engine to take this picture. Parts we have removed Custom made drill/saw Tadaa We also had to remove a big bolt from the steering parts to make space for the drilling machine I'm cleaning from metal chips Checks carefully for chips and dust..

Erick Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 Threads ready at the oil return Mounted a t-cross to attach the oil feed line for the turbo Visko fan removed Parts for the bin 2 x 12" electric fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Excellent, I do like reading threads like this. Looks like the project is coming along very well. I'm guessing you are going to end up with a 500+bhp Supra? You'll have the fueling to sort out next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 At the first step now we will just get it running at low boost with the turbo, at about 350-400 bhp And probably Dan will be happy with that power for about one weekend before we need to buy fuel parts, tt-pistons and headgasket...
