Jeff's Supra Build...again

[7Mboost]

UPDATES: Page 4 & 5 bodywork


This story goes back to Febuary 1, 2007 when around 8:30pm my dad was driving home on a very rainy night and something caused him to hit a tree and roll my Supra. My dad was pronounced dead on the scene, but was instead in critical condtion at the hospital. He had some major head wounds and was brusied up bad with possible health risks (according to the first doctor): major blood loss, brain injuries, broken spine, broken arm and rib bones, that is what the doctors expected. After further inspection he only had major cuts on his head and a lot of bruises. He walked away 2 days later and recovered over the next two weeks.

2 weeks preceding the accident Jake (Reign Maker) offers me a hell of a deal on 91 Supra turbo. It was missing some interior pieces and had a bhg, also some other little things here and there but such a deal, this baby had abs, air bag, clean straight body, and a few little performance mods to go along with it, thanks you so much Jake. I took the offer, hell the car even cranked up though Jake said he couldn't get it started recently once we put a jumper box on it.

Now to the present, I have gotten the motors out of both cars as well as the trannys. I am selling all the salvagable parts in the Parts For Sale section. I am going to still use the motor out of my wrecked car which was still good after the accident. And today I picked up one of the first few pieces to my build.

HERE ARE THE PLANS:
- Paint whole car, including engine bay with a 04 WRX black paint with gold flake.
- Today 3-10-07 I picked up my new body panels thanks to Rakkasan :) Greddy bumper, Bomex sides and rears
- Engine wise not many more mods due to the fact that the motor I'm using out of the wrecked car is a freshly built (with some forged rods and pistons previous owner forgot which brand but they were under further inspection of the block)
- FFIM from Ron R and I will be polishing it as well as many other engine parts
- Cleaning up engine bay removing EGR and all unnecessary vacuum lines and such but still retaining a/c and p/s
- Driftmotion intercooler piping kit and 4 row intercooler
- My 62-1 had been rebuilt but I have not yet felt it when tuned :)
- 18" chrome Work Equips or Blitz Techno Speed Z1's in gold
- Stainless lines
- Black and polished engine bay
- New Toyota hoses and gaskets etc.
- JDM tails
- Defi gauges
- Alpine with one 12" sub
- Clear timing cover

Build in Progress now (mines the red):

[Doward]

Should be fun! If you need a hand, you've got my number. Always happy to wrench on a Supra :D

[rakkasan]

cool Jeff, I'll be watching this thread closely! I'm glad that you were able to get the body pieces. Hopefully, you didn't have to go through to much hassle to get them, but thanks & enjoy them....

[mattgo]

Good luck on the build dude! :icon_bigg

[7Mboost]

cool Jeff, I'll be watching this thread closely! I'm glad that you were able to get the body pieces. Hopefully, you didn't have to go through to much hassle to get them, but thanks & enjoy them....

HAHA they were in the very back of the storage unit lol! But its cool man. :)

[rakkasan]

HAHA they were in the very back of the storage unit lol! But its cool man. :)

Yeah, my wife just told me about it. Sorry about that. It was in the front when I first put our stuff in storage, but I had to dig into the back just before I left & I guess I burried it. Completely my fault. Many thanks to you and your dad for helping my father-in-law get it out & loading everything back up. I appologize again...

[7Mboost]

Kinda crappy pics of the new pieces, and whats left of one of my mk4 wheels off my wrecked car (great decoration).

[7Mboost]

Well today I started removing the random stuff in the engine bay (wiper motor, abs, all that stuff) and getting it prepped for paint, looks like that will take up most of the week, and then I'll be on to order that Ron R manifold along with intercooler and the piping. Btw a quick question I am only running the 62-1 right now but plan to upgrade to like a pt67 or pt71 eventually, should I got with the 2.5" or 3" ic piping?

[7MGTESUPRAMAN]

Good luck on the build, I look forward to seeing pics of the supra when your finished with this build.

Right on Jeffy! I cant wait to see what you do with this... I feel kinda bonded to this because I was the foster daddy of your new shell for quite a while... So, Im definately going to keep an eye on this...

Jeff, yur a good kid, Im really proud of you, and it was great to meet you... Next time we meet, I hope we're both up and runnin and our projects done...

Jake

BTW: since yur goin with a FFI, and using a massive throttle body, the Q45 Im guessing, then I would say go with 3" piping... I may have some left over when Im done plumbing, if I do, its yours...

[CF_Sapper]

the should be good cant wait to see it painted

[Reign_Maker]

Jeff said he really wants to paint it bowling ball marble pink... But I was like, dude, noooooo... :D:D:D:D

[7Mboost]

Jeff said he really wants to paint it bowling ball marble pink... But I was like, dude, noooooo... :D:D:D:D

Don't forget the polka dots! jp. Yeah Jake I would love to see me and your cars at the next Supra meet if we can finish. I'm gonna go with the q45 tb, and if you still have the 3" piping when I'm getting ready to do that, I'll take you up on it! Btw thanks for the shell!

[7Mboost]

Today I swapped the door panels but changed the leather insert above door handle to the cloth to match the rest of my interior, and got the rear seats out ready to go in. Pics coming ~Friday sometime.

[Doward]

Jeff, yur a good kid, Im really proud of you, and it was great to meet you... Next time we meet, I hope we're both up and runnin and our projects done, and maybe even able to keep up with Doward's wicked ride!

Jake

Fixed :evil2:

J/k... you guys ever need help or anything, it's yours!

[7Mboost]

Fixed :evil2:

J/k... you guys ever need help or anything, it's yours!


As soon as I get this car that looks like its been flipped and stripped in the hood, I'll be making lots more progress, I spent 2 hours swapping door panels today. And as for keeping up with you car...mmm I'm thinkin pt71...gtq :)

[Doward]

:D It'd be nice to have the three fastest 7M MKIII's, right here in north Florida!

[7Mboost]

HHAHAHA encouragement for the build!

[7MGTESUPRAMAN]

What kind of exhaust manifold are you going to use for your turbo set up?

[7Mboost]

What kind of exhaust manifold are you going to use for your turbo set up?


I'm not sure what manifold I have I bought it with the car and he didn't know what it was either. Does not appear to be the ss auto chrome one though. If anyone knows what it is let me know too hhaha, but I will be sticking with this manifold none the less.

[Doward]

It looked to me like an SSAC, version 2. Toss up some pics of it! Someone here is bound to know for certain :)

Decide what turbo you plan on running, then what boost level, and rpm are you going to be spinning the motor to. I'd be happy to help optimize your piping size (I'm feeling it'll be 2.75" ;))

[Supraholics]

Will keep an eye on this build. Sad to hear about your dad. I hope he's doing well now. Post a lot of pics lol.

[Reign_Maker]

:D It'd be nice if I had a fast MKIII like Jake and Jeff will have!hehehehe fix'd... ;)

(I'm feeling it'll be 2.75" ;))wrong-o... 3"... Big brother jake will have some left overs for Jeff... I think 3" will be great for his 62-1, especially if he goes with the same IC as me...

Jeff, you need anything, you call me, you have my number kid... Keep up the good work... Yur car is going to be dope as hell...

[Doward]

Well, depending on the rpm/boost he runs, peak velocity and flow might be a little under 3.0... but hey, those will be the little things I freak out about - Generally, the bigger the better :evil2:

Get those pics, Jeff!

[Reign_Maker]

You keep freakin out yur gunna be an insomniac D... lol... I thought IIIII was anal, yur killin me with the details bro... hahaha...

anywho...

Yur talking about IC piping right? If so, that Tnetic turbo will easily stuff those three inch pipes... Less restriction, quicker throttle response, especially going with a 3.5" throttle body and a ffi... I dunno if I would do 3" on a CT26, but I had 2.5", and on my 60-1, I had 2.75"... Besides, how can you turn down free 3" manderal bent aluminum pipe? ;)

[7Mboost]

Wow so I figured out the rear cloth seats from my 89 stick out on the top back part of the seating and I don't know if there is a way to fix it? And I think I'm gonna get the 3" so when I go bigger later i know it'll be enough, and I'll probably get the driftmotion kit Jake so you can just save the piping they have a great deal goin on there.

Today I put the rear seats in till I encountered the fit problem. But I did get the wrecked Supra pieces all out and goin to its deathyard, after 5 weeks of stripped it......


Tomorrow I'm gonna get the driver seat in (because the battery is disconnected I have to hook up one to move the seat forward to get the bolts out) and then the panels in the back next to the back seats, and finish getting everything out the engine bay and start with the prep. Its goin slow now but I will speed way up now that I have the junk car out of here.


PICS COMING CHILL :)

[IJ.]

Header looks to be old school, nice build and has provision for heat shields something I've never see on the cheapies!

[FLASupra]

Good luck on the build Jeff, keep the pictures coming!

[7Mboost]

Ok so I have been on a slow start so the engine bay is stripped so tomorrow I will finish prepping it getting it ready for paint. I still need to remove my stock intake mani and send it in for the new Ron R custom one. Its been a slow start but that's where I'm at. Also they will be starting installing the new body pieces! woot woot. Pics soon, sharing a camera sucks....

[7Mboost]

*SENT TO PAINT* pics comin I swear!

[7Mboost]

Been slow till about last week. Honestly nothing but about 2 hours of engine bay cleaning was done up till last week, when I decided to not play Spring football due to, too many car projects/sell. So I've been helping at the body shop trying to speed up the process, and I'll get pics of it tomorrow but, I have the fenders, hood, trim, wing, and door panels off, door floor trim off.

Tomorrow the manifold will be sent out like I've been meaning to do for the past month. And I have started the polishing and it is the only pictures I have due to the car not being at my house. But its goin much faster now.

About an hours worth of prepping
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/dx13/Picture169.jpg

Different angle
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/dx13/Picture170.jpg

Ha my garage full of Supra! help me get rid of it
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/dx13/Picture171.jpg

[Doward]

LOL @ Garage full of Supra. You got a 7M crank lying around, by any chance? ;)

So where'd you end up sending it to get painted? Or are you tackling that yourself?

Should be awesome when it is done :D

[7Mboost]

A place called AutoFX in Gainesville hidden behind the tree a nice shop behind a guy's house, straight across from the Millhopper Publix, I've known the guy a while and seen a few of his jobs, he is very detailed and knows what I want and knows about changing colors on cars, where to put paint, whats needed to be removed etc. He does a lot of old car FULL paint jobs, stripped of everything and paint in the interior, an it looks good. But I'm trying to speed up my car for the Orlando Supra Meet, I'm gonna go all out for the next 1.5 months and try to get it done.

AS FOR THE CRANK, I don't have a good one man sorry, but actually the car we have down at the shop may and if the guy ever gets the motor over here and doesn't want his 7m I can get you his 7m crank. :)

[Doward]

I would owe you big time for that :D That's what's holding me up now! Make sure it's stamped 7M on the crank, not 6M ;)

[7Mboost]

I would owe you big time for that :D That's what's holding me up now! Make sure it's stamped 7M on the crank, not 6M ;)



Its from an 88 turbo, doesn't look like the motors ever been swapped or anything, I'll try to speed the guy up on the process.

[Doward]

'88 will be a 6M crank (what I have now)

[SupaMan]

i use to live in gainesville like 4 streets down from that publix (IIRC) i never knew so many people were into supras there i only saw like 2-3 the whole time i lived there.

any chance we can get videos of this said car when finished? :)

[Supraholics]

Looking good!!! details are very important.




'88 will be a 6M crank (what I have now)



Doward, what's your reason for wanting the 7M crank? Because the balancers?

[Doward]

Yep. Less force acting on the crankshaft due to more uniform balancing. I'm building this to spin 7200rpm all day long. But hey, let's not hijack Jeff's thread ;)

[Supraholics]

^^^ right right, Sorry Jeff. Just wanted to quickly verify that. I wasn't sure what you reason was.



Thanks,
Mig.

[Reign_Maker]

Yep. Less force acting on the crankshaft due to more uniform balancing. I'm building this to spin 7200rpm all day long. But hey, let's not hijack Jeff's thread ;)A 6M will spin 7200 easy... Rev limit isnt so much in the crank as it is in the head... If you have a balance the 6M, like I have, then I see no reason you cant spin it that high...

Jeff get movin man, we got a deadline to meet, lol...

[Doward]

It's due to torsional vibration. The 6M has inherently more than the 7M.

I'm not building this motor to spin up to 7200rpm down a 1/4 mile. I want to be able to hold 7200rpm all day long.

[IJ.]

I would owe you big time for that :D That's what's holding me up now! Make sure it's stamped 7M on the crank, not 6M ;)

7M crank is unmarked ;)

6M is in raised font on the crank.

[Doward]

Oh jeez. Not having a 7M crank, I wouldn't know :D

If nothing else, I will hit the U-pull-it on Saturday, and get to work stripping the crank out of that Cressida. I'm not looking forward to trying to bust that balancer bolt loose, with only hand tools :3d_frown:

[IJ.]

Well being an SME you need to know these things ;)

[7Mboost]

i use to live in gainesville like 4 streets down from that publix (IIRC) i never knew so many people were into supras there i only saw like 2-3 the whole time i lived there.

any chance we can get videos of this said car when finished? :)


Yeah I just got into Supras, about last year and got one December 06, and then another March 07, due to a wreck...

[7Mboost]

A 6M will spin 7200 easy... Rev limit isnt so much in the crank as it is in the head... If you have a balance the 6M, like I have, then I see no reason you cant spin it that high...

Jeff get movin man, we got a deadline to meet, lol...


Yeah man, all that scares me is will Ron be able to finish my manifold in time, he will get in next Tuesday due to damn expense shipping. Hopefully he is not too busy... Reign did you get a intake from him? if so how long did it take?

[7Mboost]

Well polishing is some hard-ass work but here's where I'm at with about 4 hours into this valve cover.

Need to grind down a few rough spots then a few more coats.

[SupaMan]

Yeah I just got into Supras, about last year and got one December 06, and then another March 07, due to a wreck...
yea i remember readin about it good luck with this build! those polished covers look hot!

[Reign_Maker]

Jeff, I cant remember how long it took to get, I bought it so long ago... I wanna say turn around time was pretty fast though... Ron doesnt leave ya hangin...

[7Mboost]

Yeah if he can finish that, I'm good to go.

[7Mboost]

Well very unluckily I sent my manifold out too late and now Ron R isn't making manifolds anymore so I'm fucked on that one, and down $40 for shipping! I am pissed but I see Ron has some family matters to take care of so I feel mad/ok but it sucks cause you can kiss ORL2K7 down the drain... Anyone with a long-runner retaining a/c manifold from RonR looking to sell? I'll pay top dollar.

[Reign_Maker]

Jeff, if I hadnt already dropped my motor in, I would sell you mine... Talk to Sethron or check here: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38211

[7Mboost]

Jake, I looked at those manifolds and I really just don't like the design 1, and know nothing about them, I've been reading up on Ron's for a while and I really! wanted to get that manifold and i'm pissed because I could've sent it out long ago..... anyways

Who is Sethron?

[Reign_Maker]

http://www.supramania.com/forums/search.php?searchid=718403

His newer designs are really nice...

[Doward]

Jeff! I DEMAND an update! :D

Seriously, what's the latest bro?

[7Mboost]

I'm going to the body shop tomorrow hoping he's done something! I'm still polishing my valve covers, coil pack plate. I'm gonna relocate the power steering resovior when I get the car back.

Now that I'm out of school expect a lot of work to get done, I'll be at the body shop all week pressing the engine bay to get painted. I'm still looking for a RONR FFIM, HOPEFULLY* something turns up. I'll be finishing the polishing tonight because I have all the stuff for it now, and I'll try to get some pics. Pray for OL2K7!

[Doward]

OL2K7? What's that? Enlighten me here :)

Pics of the polishing? ;) And hey, at least you've got the day to work on your Sup! No excuses, you better be done before I am :D

[7Mboost]

Orlando Supra Meet 07, and I hope I finish soon. As long as I get my manifold I will.....

[Doward]

Ah, the big Florida meet coming up! I may head out to it, I'm still undecided... certainly won't be in the Supra, though! :(

[7Mboost]

My 2 hours getting started taping everything up almost ready for the booth! The engine bay and door jams are getting painted first.

[7Mboost]

AutoFX across the street from the Millhopper Shopping Center, in the woods hidden, look for the flame mail box.

[Reign_Maker]

Jeff, holy shit, is that the same car that was in my back yard? :aigo:

[7Mboost]

Jeff, holy shit, is that the same car that was in my back yard? :aigo:



Nope, got this one imported from Japan, overnighted it.












Nope its yours-mine.

[Reign_Maker]

OMG! You are doing such a GREAT job restoring that car... Im really REALLY glad that she went to someone like you who is taking the time to really bring her back to life, instead of someone who would rag her out... PROPS brother...

[7Mboost]

Ha you picked the right owner, I'm sure this one will turn out to be a very popular Mk3. :) And thanks so much for selling it to me.

[Reign_Maker]

See, the thing is, very few people have seen what this car looked like... The paint, the scratches... I cant WAIT to see how it looks after your done...

[Doward]

Yeah, definitely gonna have to swing out and see this one in person, man! If it's going to be done today, let me know - I'll shoot you a call this afternoon when I get out of Calc, and see it up close :naughty:

[suprahero]

Tomorrow is now today..............bring on the new sexy supra pics.

[suprahooked]

Yea pics of your car or of some Hot Milf.

[7Mboost]

[Doward]

Hell yeah! After 2 weeks, nice to see somethings happening again :)

I've been sick as hell over the past 48 hours, so I haven't done much on my own Supra :(

[madsupra88]

Good job!!

[7Mboost]

Greddy catch can ordered.

[7Mboost]

Clear timing cover on the way!

[Doward]

Is it a 1 piece or 2 piece? Shoot me a call when it arrives - I've been wanting to see one in person before I snag one myself!

[7Mboost]

One piece I believe, found it at JSC racing, for 107.99 shipped.

[Reign_Maker]

thats dope!!!

[7Mboost]

Fa show, know how I do. :)

[7Mboost]

Bought an 89 NA today for kind of reference, it was also cheap and has some good parts on it, the car was wrecked and the previous owner gave me a hell of deal on it.

[7Mboost]

Here my reference NA.

And I'm parting this one out, ask me what you need and I'll get it for you.

[Doward]

Notice the fuse block missing? It was in perfect condition :D Now it'll be going into my build ;)

Did you get my message about the wiper linkage setup, Jeff?

[Reign_Maker]

Looks like those tails are in good shape... ;)

Is it a 5 speed? :D

[7Mboost]

Yes 5 speed NA.

Parts recieved today: Clear timing cover, greddy catch can, Samco hoses, R154 clutch line (ss). Oh and thanks Doward for the JDM tails.

I will be on vacation till next week so no updates for a while. :(

Thanks: Driftmotion, JSC racing, and Doward for the parts! Also Tubbie for the tt wheel!


BTW NAME CHANGE YO!

[Reign_Maker]

7M Mastah!

I wonder if they have the same inspection plates... Hmmmm?

[7Mboost]

^ If they are lmk and I'll get em for ya as soon I get back.

[Reign_Maker]

Thanks... I dunno if they are, but if you have time, see if you can pull one off and match it to your R154...

[7Mboost]

I'll be back next Thursday I'll try to take a look. maybe remind me though.

[bigaaron]

Hey it's really looking good! Thanks for the props yo!

[7Mboost]

Ok so I've been slow and went on vacation for a week so not much done but recieving parts, putting in the rear seats, retaping and zip-tieing wiring to make it cleaner, and deciding to paint some of the interior under the rear carpet black and also take the engine apart and paint the block, also WANTING to polish some more stuff but I hate doing it, it doesn't turn out how I like it so if anyone knows a cheap polisher I may use him.

[Doward]

Jeff, you're just lazy, that's all :D Elbow grease, my man!

[7Mboost]

Haha you know it, I really wanna work on it when I'm sittin at home looking at other mk3's like jt2ma71 and duane and supranick's car and their cars progress so much faster and give me more and more ideas that I wanna do, but when I get and go to the shop I just see a mess of stuff and don't even know where to begin, tomorrow I PLAN on trying to get the black painted......will it happen tune in next time. (tomorrow) :)

BTW I have a question, what injectors can I use to work with RC clips, cause I'm gonna go bigger.

[Doward]

Are the RC clips square? (Well, rectangular) - if so, you can use pretty much any GM style injector - I'll be using a set of Bosch 680cc injectors, myself.

[suprahooked]

(tomorrow) :




I know the feeling , Stay the hell off of SM cause you wont get anything done.:nono: Ask me how i know.:evil2:

[7Mboost]

Doward: So like PTE, Denso, Delphi, any other brands I should stay away from besides Venom? And it won't hurt running 680's or 720's even though I'm only on the 62-1 right now, for like low boost settings?

suprahooked: WHY!??!?! :) I think looking at cars and thinking of how easy it will be to pick up girls in my finished Supra is the main thing that keeps me on this project :) that and going through all the gears right outta my dad's shop torward the end of main street. :)


Ok made a little progress today the block not being painted was really gettting to me so I got some Duplicolor High Temp Universal Black (light gloss).

Ahhh, to be young... And yeah, Im sure you wont have trouble gettin da' ladeez with this clean sup! Jeez, i wish I had a ride that nice when I was 16... :D I had a bug, meh, it was nice, but no chick magnet, lol...

As for the injectors, you can go larger, the injectors run on a cycle, its not like you'll be dumping 720cc's in everytime you tap the gas... Just make sure whatever engine management you go with can work with injectors that big... The main reason I went with the AEM was because I couldnt find any other EMS that could handle 1000cc injectors... I would have LOVED to stick with a piggy back set up and kept my factory ECU, but I couldnt... Unless there is a set up out there that can control injectors of that size, I just havent heard of it...

[7Mboost]

Yeah I have AEM EMS as well so I should be good on the injectors? Haha I can't wait to pull up in this thing! I'd be embarrased as hell to ride around in my Taurus though I do lol.

[7Mboost]

Tomorrows plans: Prep and paint rear hatch interior area under carpet with some more universal paint, also may have a electronics guy coming in to figure out my wiring mess with the alarm and stock wiring confusion.

[Doward]

How much boost do you plan on running from that 62-1?

Projected power output?

I'm planning on doing about 550rwhp on the 680s, at 36psi fuel pressure ;)

[Supra469]

Very nice!

Subscribed.

[7Mboost]

I'm thinking 15psi street, and 18psi track or race, when I upgrade I'll be going a little bigger then a 67 probably so I'm thinking I should just get 720's? On the 62-1 I'd like to make over 425rwhp on 15psi.



And hatch painted pics coming.

[7Mboost]

Muah!

425hp on a true T04 62-1 @ 15psi... hmm. @ 15, I don't know if you'd make 425rwhp man :) We'll have to strap that down @ Rollins and see ;)

Yeah, I'd probably just go 720s, and not worry about it later down the line.

Looking good, though! ;)

[7Mboost]

OK more boost! :)

[7Mboost]

Ok not much done, saturday went to the beach, and sunday i was out of it. Today I started putting the reat area back together, got hatch weather stripping on, and mounted the tails...but today was distracting because an old friend just got out of jail for a 5 year sentecnce which he didn't commit but it was so good to see him.

Tomorrow I will finish the rear hatch and get the motor mounts from my NA.

[7Mboost]

AHEM! I PLAN TO DROP THE MOTOR IN TOMORROW!

[Doward]

WHOA HELL WHEN! I gotta be there for that, man!

[JTGsupra7]

just started reading your thread... awesome build ( good choice ... BLACK!)
i will definatley be keeping up with this
Good Luck!

[Doward]

eh well, I may not make it over Jeff - I've got 2 people arriving @ OIA today (I thought they would come in tomorrow) so I'm here now picking them up :(

Pics or ban, though!

[7Mboost]

Well I had a bunch of hold ups and school starting and shit so I got way behind and had to wait for a few parts before dropping in the motor when I planned but I FINALLY got it in. I spent a little extra time and got some nice paint on a few more pieces, alt. bracket, pullies, block, thermostat housing, and a bunch of other stuff.

Also if anyone can identify my cam gears that'd be great lol, I don't know what they are.

I dunno what cam gears they are either, but they're dope man!

[SD2JZA70]

Header looks to be old school, nice build and has provision for heat shields something I've never see on the cheapies!
I just looked at the pic and that header is an old greddy manifold. I installed one in a car a while back. You can bolt up the stock heatshields if you trim them.

[7Mboost]

Seriously?!?! Sweet! I don't see the logo anywhere is it suppose to be on it?

[black91turbo]

Looking good Jeff!!! As reign mentioned, those are some wicked cam gears!!! :love:

[Supraboostin]

why didnt u put the motor in with the tranny??

[7Mboost]

Still gotta clean it up and coat it with some black :)

[tte]

I dunno what cam gears they are either, but they're dope man!


He must have just put aluminum covers onto the cam gears. Drilled and tapped holes on the stock cam gears to hold the covers.

Looks good though.

Cheers,
Roy

[7Mboost]

Is there any performance advantage to that, they def don't look like modified stock ones, and the guy had the cover over it so I don't think he would do it for asthetics.

[7Mboost]

Turbo and manifold and wastegate was installed today, ordered staineless lines for NA power steering resouvior.

[7MGTESUPRAMAN]

Your coming along nice with your build progress. Keep up the good work.

[7Mboost]

Thanks! I can see the end so I'm getting excited and works getting done! Pics tomorrow!

[Reign_Maker]

NINJA CAMS FROM JAPAAAAN!!!

[7Mboost]

^ Word. (What are you talking about? lol)

And I lost the camera, put on the cam covers today not much but I was having trouble with the coil packs paint got in the coil pack bracket threads.

[7Mboost]

Delphi 750cc injectors came in too :) i forgot

[WhtMa71]

Nice build. I cant wait to see a vid. Oh and the cam gears look like something custom made.Are they really adjustable or is it just a cover?

[7Mboost]

I hope they are they have screws for adjustment.

Progress: Stainless lines in from Summit, valve covers on, new clip installed from broken one with heat shrink.

Please tell me that's NOT the final routing of the hoses??:aigo:

[7Mboost]

^ Haha of course it is...........not they're hanging there till I cut them to length.

[IJ.]

Whew :D
(thought you'd gone all "Ricky Ricer" on us for a minute there)

[7Mboost]

I BOUGHT A NEW SHIFT KNOB! lol actually I did.

[IJ.]

I BOUGHT A NEW SHIFT KNOB! lol actually I did.
Damn Ricer ;)

[7Mboost]

It was so damn cheap! And is like a knockoff of the Aspec titanium.

[Reign_Maker]

I call BS till I see pics of said knob...

NINJA KNOBS! FROM JAPAN!

[IJ.]

Jake wants to see Jeff's Knob heee heeee http://www.texasultimate.org/userpictures/beavis.jpg

[7Mboost]

No ninja knob today:icon_evil

But lines are done. (none ricer just for you IJ)

First I must share a dumb tourists I believe, I was traveling home doing about 55mph in a 45mph no biggie and I see a women with her turn signal and she's about to turn in to a neighborhood so I don't slow down as I get closer she still didn't turn, when I got up close enough she was squinting out her front window ridining in the bike lane and as you can see from the picture below this is my avoidance.

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/dx13/wtf.jpg



In better news, the lines are done, but I need help mounting the coil pack on my NA cam covers?

[7Mboost]

Fa show, its on eBay.

[7Mboost]

Tranny in, but I do need to track down some bellhousing wings.

[7Mboost]

As I thought some dumbass at my dad's shop threw some of my stuff out, guess what it was? THE FUCKING DRIVESHAFT!

[Reign_Maker]

Sounds like the perfect opportunity to buy a one piece...

[7Mboost]

After seeing the one that broke on the guy here I'm scared, and I heard when doing really high speeds 150+ they are unreliable?

[IJ.]

That one broke at 80 ;)

[7Mboost]

Well I found 1 driveshaft for $100 and since I don't need to upgrade and the one braking really scares me out of safety.

[7Mboost]

Mad TyTe JDm Shift knob came in, and I put it on with empera's black shift boot.

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/dx13/Picture203.jpg

[suprahooked]

Fish that battery ground wire up where it belongs.:icon_razz

[7Mboost]

After new terminals and connectors. :)

[7Mboost]

Downpipe check, cleaned all exhaust heat sheilds and coated the rear end and trailing arms to prevent rust.

I see red paint... Better remedy that... ;)

[7Mboost]

Outside hasn't been painted yet, working on it :)

[Reign_Maker]

Oh, well, you better get on that... :D

I thought you painted the outside... So it was just the engine bay and insade parts?

[7Mboost]

Yeah just insde the doors and hatch, engine bay for now, and then its going back to get the rest which should be in less than 2 weeks considering I've finally found a manifold. (intake)

[Reign_Maker]

Where'd you get that shift knob Jeff?

[7Mboost]

eBay company called EP Racing, and it was cheap $20 shipped, only thing I don't like is its a bit small (40mm wide) but it'll do the trick.

Here's their store they have a bunch:

http://stores.ebay.com/EPRacing-HK

[7Mboost]

Well I've been saving up some money and bought a 280ZX for a quick buy and sell, got a hell of deal on it and its in great condition.

I've done a few small things: AEM in glovebox, master cyliner and proportioning valve on, console installed, bought a 1G-GTE cluster for a 9k tach I'll throw in sometime with new leds :)

I'm waiting on my custom intake manifold I'm having made as well and I need to order more parts but I'm waiting on the 280ZX to sell which should be no time considering the condition and according to a local Z expert.

[7Mboost]

Body work pics coming soon! I sanded down the wing today while the painter worked on the targa and hood, I got the vents behind the door off as well (what a bitch ridiculous for 2 nuts and I clip), painter hopes to have everything in the booth by next week! So it is going very fast but we're not comprimising quality in the process!

[black91turbo]

Looking good Jeff...I too like that shift knob :icon_bigg

[7Mboost]

^ Yes Jake, the ones that say fitted for Toyota and Subaru fit, keep in mind they are very small though 40mm wide...

Sorry no pics today can't find camera cord...

[Reign_Maker]

Jeff, when you get your camera back up, can you take a pic of the shift knob on the shifter with your hand near it, on it or something like that so I can get an idea of how small it really is... Thanks man...

[7Mboost]

Will do Jake!

[empera]

missed out on this thread for some reason..very nice build, what cam gears are those? they look familiar but im not quite sure...

[7Mboost]

^ I have no clue! I've been told custom for now, but if you find out what they are let me know!

Btw thanks for the shift boot I love it!

[Doward]

Lookin' good man! TEC-2 arrived yesterday, so guess what I'm going to start on this weekend? MORE WIRING ;)

[7Mboost]

Sweet, let me know how that goes.

[Doward]

Sure will. Actually had a few hours to do some more work tonight (updating my build thread now)

[7Mboost]

Sorry for being slow, just found the cord and I was sick today but I'll be back on it tomorrow, hoping to get the car out this week.

[Reign_Maker]

UNGH! I want that bumper!

[Doward]

BASTARD! You stole my idea (shaving the front emblem)

Oh well. People will recognize us cruising around :D

And what bumper is that?

[7Mboost]

Greddy bumper, and I had to shave the emblem because I'm not sure how 1 chrome piece would be look on black.

[Doward]

Nah, it's cool - I gotta call you in a min anyway.

[7Mboost]

In class what'sup? lol

[Doward]

ha - that little block that goes into Junction Block No 2 (the main under hood fuse section) - I want to get that off the NA, if that's ok - want to modify it to fit in the empty slot of my fuse block, to run the wiring of the headlights all stock like!

[7Mboost]

Sorry forgot to get ahold of you John, I'll talk to you tomorrow or on AIM.

ORDERED: 2.05" Thick ac fans and exhaust wrap!

[Doward]

Nice! Can't wait to see how those fans actually look!

[7Mboost]

Hope they fit enough to get my 3" intercooler piping through! :) Of course making the oval pipe is plan B.

[Doward]

I think it'll be close, but it should work. Just ensure that your IC pipe has very little movement right there (hell, I'd even bolt it in place, top and bottom of the frame rail, and use those hump silicone couplers to allow for vibration and such)

[Reign_Maker]

Jeff, they make oval pipe ya know, but its retarded expensive...

[7Mboost]

How much I just need about a 1 foot piece of it, otherwise I'm gonna find a way to bend it without compromising the the air flow.

TODAY: Wet sanded targa down ready for paint, door handles and started on the fender, keep in mind I only have about 3 hours a day to get down to the body shop with class and things so it's good progress in my mind.

Should be putting some paint on some small pieces tomorrow!

-Jeff

[7Mboost]

Mounted 1 side of the side skirts and rear piece, sanded down 1 side skirt, working on the other side, possible pics later.

[7Mboost]

Update: Got my thin e fans and heat wrap, and here's some body work progress. Been working all weekend tryin to get this thing out, body man said we're looking to get final paint on by Tuesday.

Also Jake I have that shift knob size picture coming up.

[7Mboost]

Jake:

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/dx13/Picture001-7.jpg

[Reign_Maker]

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! That thing is TINY dude... I have small hands, but damn, I think that might be too small for me...

[7Mboost]

Yeah I think I'm gonna go with a bigger one.

TODAY: Moldings, targa, mirrors, door handles, side skirts PAINTED! All body sanded except for around the windsheild and between the rear window and targa area.

Some pics of parts later, pics of paint tomorrow.

[7Mboost]

Car is in the booth, ready to be taped up and washed off ready for paint. All panels are mounted.

On the bad news I wrecked my dd today (fixable but pita), luckily my dad can loan me his Taurus.

[Doward]

The 'teg?? You wrecked the Integra!!??

[7Mboost]

Yup, coming around a wet turn going fast but nothing crazy....I thought. I turn the front end grabs and the rear slides (fwd wtf), no e brake no braking through the turn nothing. So I countersteer appropriatley, no use its in a straight sideways slide, I lock up the brakes and hold on. I ended up a curb and the rear slid into a tree. The damage is fixable in a weekend but its definatley a setback.

Cliffs: (My DD not Supra) Bad approach angle?, wet road, shitty tires up a curb into tree.

[Doward]

:rofl: You kids and your FWD ;)

Can't say too much tho - got rid of the Miata and bought the wife a Saturn Ion Redline. FWD does suck, even when it's supercharged!

Don't you hate taking time away from the Supra, to work on your DD, though? Glad to hear you're ok!

[7Mboost]

I'm just glad it was a FREE car and yes glad I'm ok it could've been down in a ditch if not for that tree. If it wasn't worth anything I wouldn't even take the time to fix it lol. This car grabs so strong in the front and it showed, not to mention its such a short car if you don't counter correct in less than a split second and have a good grasp with the front tires your sliding.

The Ion any good? I heard they were fun.

[Reign_Maker]

All that torque steer!

[7Mboost]

Haha, its a fun beater no tourque steer (not enough power). Also great to have completely stock car, as last night reminds me. Last night I was spectating a few races on a local highway, among all the modified cars I sit in my stock Integra not to be profiled if something happens. Well to my surprise after 1 run, I see people running to their cars OH SHIT. I look over the hills I see lights, everyone is gone. The hill is ~1 mile and half away so people were goin. I haul ass turn on an offroad and go down a few miles and pull into a gas station to call my friends make sure they got out or what happened. It was an AMBULANCE! lol

[7Mboost]

UPDATE: Drool accordingly..jk its a little dirty from sitting outside.

[7Mboost]

[Reign_Maker]

NICE MUSTANG! What year is it and when will you be restoring it? :D:D:D

[7Mboost]

Haha, its the painter's 69 Fastback I believe. There big into stangs, and they're doing a really nice 67 with a Shelby Kit going on right now as well.

As for the SUPRA PAINT! Should be ready to put stuff back together tomorrow.

As for my FFIM....well I thought I had one but I don't know what's going on now....its time like these were you miss RonR!

[SupaMan]

[7Mboost]

Me too :)

[LilMissMkIII]

What's the ETA on this being all together???

Looking quite schmick!!!!!! :)

LilMiss approval: :boobies:

[7Mboost]

Thanks.
I'd like to make the Tampa Supra Meet November 17th but its all down to will I get my dd sold to buy the rest of the stuff in time.

[Doward]

God damned SWEET man!

[7Mboost]

FFIM is finally built (not by me, from guy making it for me), ordered a Q45 TB, got whole cheap 3" intercooler kit (aluminum) off ebay because it was cheap so I'll chop up some for an intake pipe and save the rest (not enough for the intercooler piping I'll be making.

Need list: EBC, Greddy weld on bov flange, Driftmotion 3 row fmic & 3" intercooler piping kit, misc. fittings and oil feed line, etc.

[7MGTESUPRAMAN]

Sounds good man; I bet you can't wait to drive it.

[7Mboost]

The most thought about thing on my mind!

[Doward]

Jeff, you gonna be at the shop tomorrow afternoon? I need to swing out, take some measurements of where the 3 piece spoiler bolts up :)

[7Mboost]

I'll be there shortly, call me after school at 2:40, I'm heading to my house to the shop so I should be there around 3:30.

[Supraholics]

Nice!!! Black is the best color for a MKIII ;)

[7Mboost]

I like it :)

[Reign_Maker]

When its all put back together Jeff, we gotta do a before and after side by side shot of the car... I cant believe what you've done with the car, its absolutely mind boggling, especially at your age to be so detail oriented and precise... Im truly impressed guy... *no offense on the age comment bro, but come on, how many 16 y/o's you know that go through that much detail? :)*

[7Mboost]

Learned a lot from my dad owning a shop and my brother bulding up his RX-7s and I gotta thank them for teaching me over the years as well as the amazing SM COMMUNITY! And nothing taken on the age thing, I love being one of the very small amount of people with time and skill to do a project like this; but no doubt I'll be acting my age when I pick up some ladies in it :biglaugh:

[7Mboost]

Update minus pics but they're coming.

Paint on one side is wetsanded buffed and the mirrors and trim are on. Recieved my Q45 tb today and that bitch is huge!

Tomorrow I plan to finish the whole car paint finish wise.

[7Mboost]

Anyone know if something is missing in my gas cap locking mechanism?

Jeff what is up with the 2 red paint spots on the passenger's door?

[7Mboost]

The paint is covered in dust and we've been buffing it, there is no red on the door, the picture is at a bad angle.

[Reign_Maker]

Its not really a spring, its more like a clip... Mine is broken, lol... I've had 4 supras, three of them have had broken clips... You have one of the three, LMAO! Its friggin PLASTIC! You think they'd make something like that out of metal...

[Doward]

I'd say about 2 weeks of work left. I would've put on the final body piece (side skirt) if the doctors office would have made me wait for 2 hours! (They heard from me). I ordered my intercooler, bov flange, and ebc. Its close!

[Doward]

I hate you. You're certainly going to be cruising before I am! I demand a ride along when it's finished :D

[7Mboost]

Fa show!

[Reign_Maker]

Feel free to make a trip to FWB when yur done, lol...

[7Mboost]

[Reign_Maker]

Im tryin to get Gixxer to come help me finish, lol...

About running the 3" IC piping up between the rad and motor, it's VERY close, but it's possible. I did it on my car, with stock fans and rad. There's literally millimetres of clearance between the pipe and my A/C pulley, but it fits. Don't have to relocate the battery that way either.

I'll have to post some pics tonight.

[7Mboost]

Freakin sweet! And I'm running some smaller ac fans so maybe a few extra mm's too. Love to see those pics as well.

[7MGTESUPRAMAN]

You are alone... :biglaugh:

I can't be the only lone ranger.:nono:

[7Mboost]
