I'll give you a bit of background first, bought my Supra from a member called Mcgoo on here. When i bought it it was a RZ twin turbo 6 speed BPU. I absolutly loved the car and used it as my daily for nearly 2 years. When fuel costs were becoming an issue for me i got myself another run around and started to take it off the road over winter. Car was running 430bhp and this was more than enough and loved the power. 4 weeks before Japfest 2013 i lost all boost, and was so upset when i couldnt find what was wrong with it. After looking through so many threads to find what it could be and checking boost pipes and solinoids it came down to the fact that my 1st turbo had failed. Pritty dramatically. Most of the blades on the hot side had pritty much been destroyed, was planning on getting myself another set of twins and swopping. After some convincing from Mark (Pulley) we decided that going single was the way forward. After many cuts to my hands and impossible bolts to remove, the old knackered turbos were removed: Got a couple pics with the guys that helping me. Mark and Ant's supras, also Laurence helped. When removing few parts it came to our attention that a few extra bits of work were needed. Subframe had almost rotted through, so mark got on the phone to Keron and a new subframe turned up 2 days later, got it painted up and ready to fit.

Chris_k Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) Origionally wasnt planning on removing the head but seeing as its 20 years old i thought it would be a good time to give it another new hg and extra cleaning. Also had new Stem oil seals fitted by Mark, we cleaned the head up again and that was ready to go back on. Block was cleaned up ready for new head. Had to start ordering parts now and the bit i was most excited about was the turbo. Managed to source it from Kaan a GT3582R Thought id have a selfie with my turbo Head went back on, cams in, pulleys on.

Chris_k Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) Meanwhile Mark (Pulley) was busy making me a custom hi-flow manifold to house a 60mm wastegate, custom made downpipe and fabricated a few more peices to make everything work. Absolutly stunning work with perfect custom fitment There was some late nights! Perfect fit for wastegate and screamer pipe: Downpipe with flexi welded in to protect it Finished product, coated and wrapped: Edited April 21, 2014 by Chris_k (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Thanks guys, yeah I can't wait to get it spooling kaan! The engine is all back together now I just need to finish off the thread. Haven't started it up yet. Will be next week the big turn on! As said the GT35R makes for a great fast, responsive setup, the 550cc injectors are going to limit how much boost you can run though.

supra_ufo Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 nice build thread, wish I had gone single but wanted to get the car on the road asap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimojameso Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Thanks for sharing the pics. Looks like its going to be an awesome car! Great turbo choice aswell. As Nick said maybe get some bigger injectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_k Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 Yeah I appriciate the 550s will limit it but am planning a low boost set up for now. With future plan of getting some 750s maybe. The jump from 430 to 500-550 will be enough to keep a smile on my face for a year at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_k Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 Havent updated in a while so thought id give you an up to date picture of whats happening. Car started first time and ran really well, very happy with it. Getting ready to put final bits onto car Fitted and restored headlights: Bonnet on: Getting ready for MOT late at night had no sidelights, had to rewire all of it to get them running. Finally got them working First time it left the garage in nearly a year. Treated supra to some new wheels too, ones I have always wanted: Got myself a new boot too as mine has the usual rust spots round the base edge, anyone for a supra pickup?
