92nsx's supra build

[92nsx]

Any way I payed $1100 for this 89 turbo in fall of 07' with (what the seller though was a blown piston) ending up finding a stuck valve. I have been kicking my self since 2003 for selling my last 89 turbo, so I wanted another one, but this time I wanted to either a 1jz or a built 7m. Well I chose to go with the 7m because for close to the same amount of money I could have a kick ass 7m for the price of that 1jz, (plus front clips are hard to come by).
Im going to do this build thread a little different. All pic. at the beginning so you don't have to page through talk to find the pics. !!!! This is what we all like to see, right?
First picked it up and loaded into semi from the windy city, for a ride back to land of 10,000 lakes.

Well I picked up my head yersterday 7/3/2008 from Jim. ALL done! Compleat rebuild with port & polish, 272 cams, 1mm larger valves, BCC springs, AEM cam gears.







Vacuum block I made, now just to find a place to mount it.

HK$ head gasket came in last night and started to bolt the head down and....................the ARP nuts from my head stud kit would not fit. god-dam it.

A quick responce from IJ and off to the lathe I go to fix the problem. A new ARP nut has a .816" base, I spun them down to .780" and now they all fit.


Mods needed to fit AEM cam gears.






All in time to start it up.


On first start up I had a massive oil leak. come to find out My engine builder forgot the cam seals

This is the only pic I could find of my throttle cable I had to make. Was 36" had to shorten it around 4" and custom make ends to connect to pedel, and TB.

More things installed. The funny part the vary firts part I bought for this supra was the muffler and it pretty much the last added to car.

A little VHT nightshades to front blinkers


Sample of solder skills or lack up, LOL. Yes, I like to solder wires rather then just pinch or crimp them together.


And after everything was said and done I had a huge vac. leak only pulling 5 inHg. come to find out the flange on my FFIM was bad. So back to the machine shop. Here is how she sits as of 7/28/2008

Nothing much new besides the TB and it's now running!
Re-installing turbo that was on Emilio's car.


Afternoon, broke the heater valve So had to by pass it for the time being.



Around 15 miles on these coppers time to change them out, lol.



GF installing some new coppers.



Rear with the "base tube" that came with the car when I bought it




3-7-2009

my new spair tire, LOL. Subwoofer and battery enclosure



Test fitting




A little rattel can since the carpet isn't here yet.



In the car. Also ran out of small wire loom, for some of the wires. I will pick some up son and get the wiring looking better




Nice and clean, just the way I like it. Wouldn't even know it was there if I didn't tell you



VSV and heater valve working and fixed with a working one.



Updated engine bay shot. I reinstalled the PCV system for now, but it will change again since it looks like ass along with stock intake tube.

Hook up cruse control. It works but I need to move the connecting poing out further from the center, so it works better at low speeds.




Rear view camera installed and cleaned up the wiring in the rear.

cont..






We also put Sean's rims on the sup for shits and giggles and to see if the color works with the paint. I like the chromelip, but I think the center will have to be darker, maybe gun metal, black chrome, something like that.

Did some say something about suede?? Suede head liner FTW. Working on the last roof piece now and finishing the sunvisors. Still need to cut out the hook things. I think the door inserts also will be suede also now, it feels so nice.


3-22-2009
Re did the part that would be above the sunvisors, and installed suede on the rear seats side where the OEM leather would be plus the head bonk cushion. I dont know what it is called but head bonk cushion works for me, lol.







3-25-09

Picked up some new tail light gaskets, M.C shift bushings and a TEWD



4-1-09

Suede door inserts are done and installed along with a different grey door panel that isnt cracked up. (thank you Emilio again!!). Now just waiting for the new leather to show up for the seats



And installed hks exhaust and dose not fit to well tips not even close to level.







Pic of it next to the home made exhaust that came with the supra.



Here is a pic of the solid motor mounts I made. Now that the exhaust is quiet I can hear the FFIM hitting the shock tower so time to install them and see how they feel. I know my welding skills sucked on these. I haven't welded alum. in 5 years andf it shows

WHOO! the new leather skins are here. SUPRA is embroired into the top back and also pick up the front heated seat option. Color is perfect compairing it to the leather e-brake cover. In the pic it look off a little but it is because the ebrake is shiny, from cleaning it.
