GeordieSteve Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Well it's time for a sale. The time has come after 4 years to say goodbye to my beloved Supra. We've seen twins, hybrids, many singles, 5 or 6 ECU's... you name it It's a sad day. I've owned this car for 4 years and spent silly money on it. I bought it bone stock with 32k miles on it and not put a great deal more on it in the mean time. It's been more of a baby to me. My new house doesn't have a garage meaning that I just don't have the room to keep such a car. Specs are as follows: GT4088 single turbo 2 X Walbro fuel pumps 44mm Tial wastegate 875cc injectors 90mm throttle body Aeromotive fuel pressure regulator Blitz boost controller Blitz SUS power air filter Boostlogic turbo oil feed Custom downpipe Custom intercooler pipework Custom midpipe Screamer pipe Enlarged polished inlet manifold Full braided fuel hose to either side of the fuel rail HKS SSQ Blow off valve Cold spark plugs MapII ECU Polished cam covers Polished engine hooks Power steering rad Relocated battery Relocated fuse box Relocated header tank Relocated power steering tank Samco hoses Sard speed cut defender FMIC Titan fuel rail Toyota resistor pack Transmission radiator Turbo timer Upgraded breather system Upgraded fuel filter Varley Redtop battery Veilside exhaust XS power manifold 18" alloy wheels Veilside skirts Yellow Blistein shocks LSD AEM Wideband O2 gauge £2500 new respray about a month ago (absolutely perfect job) I'll get some photo's up as soon as possible. The car has around 45k miles on the clock and looking good for it. £9000!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot had to be modified to make it fit and custom pipes were required P.S - Any advice on rough price would be greatly appreciate folks! Thanks Steve, any info or gotchas when fitting would be good,where did you source your throttle cable? Did the IACV fit ok? Where did you place the IAT sensor, etc. Pics would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 The throttle cable came from a lawn mower A pug throttle cable should do just as well. The IACV etc. were all removed from the stock TB and modified to fit the new 90mm unit. The manifold it's self had to be modified to fit. All in all a hell of a lot of work but worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_have Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Chears fella, what mods to the manifold were needed? KU say its a direct fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Good luck with the sale steve. Are you running this turbo on standard internals then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 Not an exact fit to be honest... minor alterations here and there. Michel may be able to help on that one... was one of his mechanics that fitted it Yeah stock internals mate but only running low boost (and to be honest that's all it needs to be nice and quick). The figure in my sig was with a problem with 2 injectors Now sorted btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
