My build ...

[slacker]

so look what I got back earlier last week .

time to get going on the build ...

rings are Altrom ... water pump is Nissan :-X ... rest is OE.

first coat of primer ...

 

[slacker]

not to many people tackel the dreded "oil pump drive shaft bearings" .. I did

 

[slacker]

so.. got the short block assembled ;D ..

Crank in

installing ARP bolts , rings , and rod bearings

I have a short block ;D

and front cover

more tomorrow .

 

[suprahero]

What? No purple block? How are you going to make 667rwhp without a purple block? You don't know a dang thing about building a 7m.................

You may not have been around enough to know what I'm talking about. Good luck with your build though...............lol

 

[slacker]

nope ... no clues about "the purple block"

 

[suprahero]

Someone on here said that Kwnate's block was Barney purple, but he swears it's blue. Anyways he laid down 667rwhp and about two thousand pounds of torque. I sometimes exaggerate about his torque, but it was alot.............lol

Slacker, it's looking very good. I hope you have no problems and it goes very smoothly..........:bowdown:

 

[CPT Furious]

That looks great! At first, I was wondering why your water pump was on the right...then I slapped myself...

 

[Suprapowaz!(2)]

Keith Black makes pistons for our 7m's? Or is that just a box you stored them in?

 

[Untouchable7mgte]

what did ya use to paint the block?

 

[slacker]

Keith Black makes pistons for our 7m's? Or is that just a box you stored them in?

just the box they came back in from the machine shop .

what did ya use to paint the block?

I just used a engine enamel spray , with the engine clear .
I have used it on quite a few other blocks , and always worked well .

 

[slacker]

so a little bit more today ..

got the pan on ... of course it came with a cork gasket that i'll never use .

and some of the accessories ..

MLS head gasket in place , and new ARP head studs .

and the head goes on , and torqued to 80FT lbs

back cover and set the valve covers on for effect .

and almost done ...

so thats it for now ... I had to order the turbo oil pipe gaskets .

[OneJArpus]

[suprahero]

Good luck with traction control.........................:biglaugh:

[slacker]

--------------WARNING -------------


hard core supra guys ...




DO NOT READ ON

 

[slacker]

actually truck has been striped ..

I was going to use the stock frame

but because of the condition and work involved .. I'm building a
COMPLETE CUSTOM frame , which will include the complete rear IRS

and the front supra IFS

 

[tig321]

You Sick Bastard!!!
Are you the Toyotafiberglass.com fender guy? I was looking into BOBing an 86 4runner (like in the CAN4WD mag) and dropping in a 7M turbo.
In my search for a supra parts car I found a 90 turbo that was just to nice not to keep :icon_bigg
I gotta go prep my block for paint, your making me envious.
and you call yourself Slacker, Ha haaa:biglaugh:

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

This is awesome!

 

[da89soup]

But the car????? It was nice!!! I was so on board until I saw the car!!!!!!!! I should have stoped where it said Hard core supra guys dont read on..........

I am sickend and yet very interested how this story turns out.......

Ok more pictures please..............................:icon_bigg

 

[IJ.]

I've often thought about doing the same with my running gear in my Ute

 

[supradan22]

After seeing that mint ass pre 89 sex red supra I threw up a little bit on the inside but still great job on the truck and the build.



BTW hope you part out that supra on the forums instead of junking it.

Bottom line ... to get good used pieces ... you gotta start with a good doner ..

NICE car .. EVERYTHING worked .. 87 turbo ...loaded...

 

[supradan22]

SICK BASTARD..........

I call dibs on the front peace with the headlight squirters. LOL

 

[slacker]

I robbed ALL powertrain , seats , wing ...everything i thought I would need , and sold the rest .


I bought the car , with the "shell" pre-sold ...

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

It's flying....

Looking good so far. Nice work.

 

[slacker]

so reviving an ol thread .. see if you guys are interested ..

It has been a very long time in the make , but I finally have a roller

from this

and a wheel base .. I now have a frame with turbo supra suspension . :evil2:

so the mock up has begun .. ;D

reinstalled the cradles .. front and rear , and the struts ..

some pics of the TIG welds ..

so anyway ..

I also dropped the cab on .. I still have to build all the mounts , but it'll give you an idea .

 

[Piratetip]
