wezz313 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Really nice to see the progress made, your exhaust system looks amazing. You're lucky to have access to a ramp it makes working underneath so much easier. I'm wondering if I fancy a change to red now after looking at how nice your car looks.

jonny mac Posted April 29, 2017 Author Share Posted April 29, 2017 (edited) bought a set of oem 17" turbo wheels delighted! finally....been looking for a set of these for a long time 82 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr they need a refurb and tyres done so i'll see if the powdercoating place can do them while my subframes are being done full rear subframe from a turbo mkiv, i'm going to use all the rear end parts but polybush and powdercoat them don't think it's an lsd but i'll open it up to check the ratio anyway as it may not be the correct diff to the chassis plate 81 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr and a full front end, again to be stripped and made pretty/new rubber bushes 84 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr the old paper speakers were dead, finally got round to replacing them 83 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr random ones in the back and alpines up front behind oem speaker grills Edited July 24, 2017 by jonny mac (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WayneW Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 How will you do for the engine wiring ? You can't reuse the one of the N/A isn't it ? What's the best way : Sourcing a stock Supra wiring ? Are some aftermarket wiring available on the market ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny mac Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 How will you do for the engine wiring ? You can't reuse the one of the N/A isn't it ? What's the best way : Sourcing a stock Supra wiring ? Are some aftermarket wiring available on the market ? this weekend I found a guy selling a supra gte turbo ecu loom so I've got my name down on that when it comes off the car, however it's a non vvt loom so I may not actually use it my last resort would be buying a haltech 2jz2go loom and ecu but that's a big spend for what really would just be powering a few 12v wires on an ecu loom I'll manage to get it going, weather it means leaving the ecu tucked somewhere in the engine bay for now behind the battery as the loom is too short for a supra or weather I sit down and manually lengthen /rejoin every single wire in the loom to reach the supra passenger floor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitbox Junkie Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 If you go haltec or another standalone ecu least your be prepping for the future if you decide to go big twins or single Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny mac Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 true! i'll work it out later on picked up a 2jz gte tt power steering pump this week, also a set of fmic pipework and a walbro 255lph fuel pump just to buy a fmic core next, will probably just get the universal 600x300x76mm one from any motorsport place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny mac Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 (edited) finally got round to the supra badge! 85 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr also had my mate come by with his arch roller as i needed the inner edge raised a little at the top as it was catching the wheel under compression you can't tell by looking from the outside, it hasn't flared the arch outwards, also i've covered the life out of it where we were working in underseal just incase the paint had split even a small amount 86 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr so a big delivery turned up one morning at work 87 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr the guys at jdm distro done an awesome job sourcing a clean engine, only thing missing in my order was the afm i'd asked to be included, they said they'd send one out so i spent my lunch break stripping off the auto transmission that came with the engine, all bolts were still like new! this has to be the cleanest 2jz i think i've ever seen....it must be a seriously low mileage, the block isnt even rusted on the cast outside! so i got the engine home and put it on my spare stand and out the way for now 88 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr so far i've managed to collect: mkiv turbo power steering pump the banjo fitting for the brake servo 1994 turbo engine mounts turbo rear sump with oil drain flange walbro 255lph fuel pump fmic pipes and core also for the loom, i'm going to extend this loom through to the footwell for now and add in efi relays and make it work with my chassis plugs for rpm signal output etc Edited July 24, 2017 by jonny mac (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny mac Posted July 24, 2017 Author Share Posted July 24, 2017 moved the sidelights down to the facelift indicators 117 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr parts collection growing for the aristo engine 118 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr that's a non vvt turbo ecu and loom for a mkiv which i'll be using as my reference point for looom length etc gte water pump (used for 100 miles) but turns out the aristo one is the same anyway! fmic pipework, viscous fan, walbro 255lph pump power steering pump from a mkiv, power steering bottle too 119 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr 120 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr also still cleaning it pretty much weekly haha 121 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr sold the j3 autobox from the aristo engine so take one very clean non rusty 2jz block 123 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr and paint it to protect it! first coat on, note i'm not using the front sump so didn't bother me getting paint on it 124 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr second coat will go on in a weeks time, really going to let this coat harden fully before i put the second layer on began painting the originally silver parts on the engine, the mounts, oil drain, rear sump, starter motor, sump lower part going to be doing the alternator etc later unfortunately the guy who'd previously worked on these mounts has cross threaded the inside of one of them, the actual rubber mounting part not the block bracket, so i need to find another mount if i can't recut the threads straight 125 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr 126 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr don't currently have any pics of it but i've since removed the aristo loom from the engine on the stand, i've now got it lay out on the work bench and have it ontop of a supra loom, so i'm basically replicating the supra length and body loom pinouts aristo's are a little more confusing i'd say compared to the supra loom 122 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny mac Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 thanks, if I get the time I'd ideally like to do a write up on how to make the aristo loom work in a mkiv shell, where to add relays etc and how long to extend it etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny mac Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 went out for a photoshoot last night, it was right at the time of the sun setting so made it a little tricky to get the exposure settings correct 127 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr 128 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr 129 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr 130 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr 131 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr 132 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr 134 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr 135 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr 137 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr 136 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr will get the interior pics uploaded later my favourite one of the evening 133 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
