Most impressive part here is the amount of progress you make in a short space of time, great work! oh aye thanks, the s14 has been stored since it's insurance ran out in august, I've not had the time or the money to do anything with it just now as it's being consumed by this supra haha ================================ update: took my r154 flywheel for skimming since i'll be using a new clutch, had very little taken off so it's perfectly flat now, some of the original face is still there 102 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr went to fill the engine up with the new oil, using titan pro race 15w50, half filled the engine with that and will use an ordinary 5w50 comma motorsport oil for the rest just for the first start to run for 5 minutes then will drain and put in the titan pro race oil with another new filter 103 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr made a start at the aristo loom cut out all of the autobox loom and labeled up which wires are +b etc 104 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr 105 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr toyota r154 bel housing arrived 106 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr 107 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr competition clutch organic r154 disc 108 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr toyota oem r154 clutch cover 109 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr toyota r154 slave cylinder 110 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr toyota release bearing 111 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr carpet cleaning 112 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr clutch hub washers arrived 113 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr bearing assembled onto hub 114 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr then complete unit into cover 115 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr got cracking on saturday morning and the sun came out too which was great as i was expecting to be freezing my nuts off 116 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr ready to lift and pull, my trusty old s14 wheels always used as jacks to lift the car up high enough, pulled many engines out with these supporting everything disconnected that needed to be, i'd unbolted the exhaust manifold because the bolts were siezed into the cat and i didn't have my grinder or any form of heat one side fell off so i guess that was where my exhaust leak up front was haha, a dead flexi join 117 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr so that's the ge and w58 out the way, i began using a degreasing and shampoo mix on the engine bay 118 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr 119 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr still needs tidied but it's 100x cleaner than it was 120 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr engine out and laid carefully onto blocks of wood ontop of a caster frame 122 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny mac Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 (edited) not had alot of spare time recently, made a good dent into the wiring loom job however extended every wire on the aristo ecu plugs through my mkiv n/a loom bullkhead grommit down to match ecu mounting position 123 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr serious amount of soldering done, heatshrink used on every join and also taped over the top for extra protection here's a clearer picture of what's going on with the wiring now and where i'm up to top left section is the vvti turbo aristo engine loom plugs top right is mkiv n/a alternator, coolant temp dash sensor, starter solenoid, p/s switch, fuse box plugs and a few others required for the chassis bottom left is all extended aristo ecu plugs with supra wires waiting to be joined in for ecu power, +b, mrel, power to coils and injectors, igsw, crank wire, rpm output etc bottom right is mkiv body plugs so the orange and grey dash plugs giving various inputs/outputs required so i need another evening's soldering and loom wrapping then hopefully it'll work fine, used the one main feed wire that was there originally for coils and injectors form the n/a and joined it into the coils/inj on the vvti loom as i figured my car already has a relay to switch those on, my s14 had one relay doing both coils and injectors and worked fine so should be ok in this worst case is i just split the two main red power feeds and add 2 new 30amp relays to them 124 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr mk3 supra r154 front propshaft pieced together with the mkiv bearing carrier and flange for propshaft ready to go! 125 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr w58 is sold and posted arp flywheel 4ag corolla bolts arrived 126 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr rear main seal 127 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr rear spats arrived 128 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr Edited November 16, 2017 by jonny mac (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny mac Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 will be updating this soon with more pics of what's going on, decided to remove the ac rad from car and pump from engine, never use ac myself and the rad was not in the best condition anyway here's my to do list: finish wiring oil level sensor gasket + refit into sump dipstick new o ring plus refit into sump sandwich plate gauge senders to fit then bolt to engine remove engine stand and lay engine onto a tyre for fitting gearbox rear main seal flywheel clutch+gearbox onto engine attach loom to engine before fitting to car go over every vacuum line again and jubilee clips for water pipes fit alternator fit aux belt fit coolant temp sensor for dash on supra my whifbitz 3" 2nd decat arrived, I also have now got to make a custom front decat as the aristo one doesn't look like it'll work due to the flange and angles being different to the supra mkiv system I've also been looking at intercooler pipework and because the aristo twin's come out at a different angle it's looking like a custom top pipe will be needed also getting there slowly but the weather sucks and I have very limited time just now due to busy family life!

Such a shame, the white 1 looks pretty smart, its got gold bbs wheels on it too I believe pictures of the white one were doing the rounds at one point. Story was the guy's son originally owned the car, but sadly passed away. Apparently they would always clean it together and so after he passed the father never washed it again, but would often be seen driving around in it. How much of that is true I don't know.....

jonny mac Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 Happy new year! unfortuantely i've not had a chance to do anything really, family life has been non stop lately so i've not had any spare time to get near stuff here's just a few things i've managed with the 5 minutes a week i've had spare :S oil level sensor in 138 dash temp gauge in, along with the new ecu temp sensor 139 thinking about it, i should have had a 1/8th npt bung welded onto the water neck for an aftermarket gauge sender nevermind i'll just have to run one inline in the top hose chopped up ac pump used as pas bracket support like intended from original setup 140 and lastly swapped out the na throttle cable for a TT one 141 the situation right now is i don't have the space to lift the engine off the stand and fit the rear main seal/flywheel/clutch/gearbox the reason being, it'll literarly have to be put in the car the same day as i wont get my garage door shut with the engine/box combo together but before i do that....i still have some work to do to the engine bay, i'd like to rub back a few small bits and tidy it up my brake servo needs a rub back and painted too, along with the radiator crossmember so i'm just waiting on a nice dry weekend now to get all that done once the car is ready, then i'll just be waiting on a day i have good weather and a free saturday to get working on the car!
