Pulled exhaust off to turn the wastegate flange and plumb the outlet to the downpipe.
Pulled the intake to rebuild the manifold with a thicker flange to resolve a vacuum leak issue.
I have also wrapped the exhaust and installed a turbo blanket. No pics of that though...
It IS really fun. But wanting one is completely different than wanting to spend 7 years of struggling to balance the project and everything else that life brings to enjoy a few minutes of driving your creation every other week. I have countless hours invested in this truck spanned over several...
Here's a video. Not a very good video but it's better than nothing. I'm working on getting a better one as soon as I get the new tune settled in.

I don't think it will be ready for that. It runs but it's far from being presentable. I would like to dyno it to see how much power it's putting down. I wonder if it could go as a supra. There is more supra in this truck than truck.
Yep, been busy with family life but it is always waiting for me when I get some time. Been real slow progress. I'm going to try and get some good video once I get that subframe bolted back up. I'm sure you guys would like to see that.
No, good guess but I would hope probe pistons would hold up to more than that. Luckily the engine held up just fine even though the tune was not set up for that much power. It survived 2 hard pulls at 30 psi before I realized something was wrong.
It is actually something kind of funny.

Here is the current engine bay. The harness is not compete or wrapped. There are still a lot of things that need to be finished, but for now the goal is to make sure I am on the right track and work out any bugs.
Last time I drove it, the wastgate hose sprung a leak and it overboosted...
Well, the coil setup was not my idea. It was from this thread...

but I can take some credit for the cover. No one has one quite like mine.
Here is something you don't see a lot on a 7m...
I still need to finish polishing the valve covers and the center cover. It is held in place by a couple of screws that fit between the dip in the VC and the plate. That way there will be no visible screws on the top.
Today I built the short block after several days of just cleaning. Probe pistons, bored .020 over, arp rod bolts plus all of the normal parts and machine work needed for a build. Here are some pics, even though you already know what a 7m looks like...
I am in the process of a build that incorporates the N52 DIYPNP kit. I have run into a few things that I would like to add. The MS can do semisequential injection with an add-on circuit. However, the stock injector circuit pairs 1-5, 2-4 and 3-6 or something like that. Maybe only for pre-89...
Yeah, maybe. It's hard to imagine that they would have drag radials at the junk yard. Anything less would be a waste of time. but I have some time before it is on the street, so I'll just have to look.
