Dan8 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) Hi I decided to tear the supra engine apart and rebuild it and restore the car while I was made furlough as had a few weeks to mess about I am rebuilding with a TT gasket and ARP bolts And the GTE oil pump new bearings etc etc as I wanted to go turbo for a while Don’t mind a bit of fabrication and have access to TIG welder and I don’t mind converting any manifolds to Vband Waste gate which is what I want to run or anything like that Any parts that you think I may be interested in that you have laying around drop me a message Many thanks Edited May 2, 2020 by Dan8 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC93 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I've got brand new Toyota piston rings and ARP rod bolts if you're interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan8 Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 Hi How much you wanting for the rings bud and might as well give me one for the rod bolts as well just out of curiosity Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 If you've tools I always recommend rotating the waste gate location so its next to the turbo rather than under the car. God knows why it became common practice for GE turbo manifolds to do that. Annoying as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Best flow angle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Completely opposite direction for flow. Waste gate pointing down is facing wrong direction. Flow has to 180 before it exits. Terrible design. Not that rotating it fixes that. But can help a little maybe. Didnt flow mine before vs after. As it's just a street car I didnt over think it too much. Before you say it, I know I've over thought way too many other things lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Bloody hell that is bad, nope wouldn’t say it. Can’t over think things too much, no such thing. Micromanage away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan8 Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 Thanks for the advice that’s great I will definitely have to look into that With the budget for build in mind i was thinking of getting the new style XS power thick wall manifold and getting the flanges decked maybe bracing it and cutting waste gate flange and changing it to Vband to run a decent waste gate out of curiosity have you got a picture Noz and what manifold do you run I wanted to run a decent brand waste gate and turbo and management try save my funds for these and don’t want mega bhp from my conversion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Someone here was selling a very decent log manifold, an excellent option for performance and quality. Also why buy a manifold then spend more money fixing it, just buy a decent one to start with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I’ll likely be selling my Whifbitz log manifold shortly. How soon are you looking to convert? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan8 Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 I have looked into a branded manifold such as whifbitz etc etc but found them to be approx £540 VAT then postage and for £380 I could go for the 3mm thick walled twin scroll tubular XS power manifold take it to work and get the flanges checked and decked and cut the 4 HKS wastegate flange and weld a Vband in place as I have access to TIG welders and CNC cutting plasma cutters and various other millers and lathes but I am open to all options and appreciate any ideas or experiences the forum has to help me with my guidance as to which route I take Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan8 Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 Hi josh Am in no real rush now as most of the things i enjoy to go to maybe cancelled and I don’t use it often anyways I wouldn’t mind waiting how much do you have in mind PM and approx when are you looking at changing and why thanks Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Hi Dan, Will be looking for around £250. Just firming up a few things before I commit to selling it. Reason for change is that I prefer the noise from a Tubular manifold and as I’ll be deleting the dizzy, I won’t have to worry about clearance issues.
