1slomk3's 87 Turbo

[1SLOMK3]

I was a sophomore in High school when I saw this 87 turbo auto with 117k miles on ksl autos, Utah. They wanted 1500 for it and wouldnt budge on the price. At this time I didnt really care what Supra I got as long as I had one. So I begged my dad to go check it out. The condition was pretty good, ran decent and was semi cheap so I had to have it. After purchasing we got on the freeway to take it to a friends house. Things were going great for about 15 minutes... then boom rod knock...the best day of my life turned to the worst real quick.
Anyway on to the pictures.

Day of purchase in Utah

It ended up sitting at a family friends house for a year before anything happened. I eventually got the opportunity to work with my dads friend selling fireworks for the 4th of July in return he would pay for a rebuild on the 7m.

Picked up some Tokico Blues and Eibach springs.

Went to pick n pull one day to find a Super clean 89 NA with mint blue interior. I had to have it so I picked it up and junked the nasty maroon and put on the 89+ lights and trim

Went up to prescott this past weekend.. ended up bringing this home for a pretty good deal :aigo: Not sure whats going to happen with it yet just tearing it down for cleaning

Dont worry its not going to sit on the oil pan for long...

As it sits now

Small update.
Sandblasted and painted the valve covers wrinkle black. Thinking about either making or buying a stencil and having the 2500 twin turbo in white.

Cleaned up and painted the intake manifold and turbo pipes. Still have to do the throttle body and fuel rail.

Picked up another harness...unfortunately its from a JZX81 Chaser ..ebay.. Check out the size difference! -_-

Slow, replace those oil cooler coolant lines. I went the extra route and had factory Toyota from a guy out of the states. You can use the aftermarket stufff and match something up but I like OEM stuff.


JZ motors are overrated.

Albert sent me pictures of the rail and other parts yesterday looking pretty Clean compared to before

Quite impressed

I need to do the same. I actually need to locate a bunch of the little hose still.

And yeah JZ's are overrated should of stayed 7M but i guess all us people who live with are parents and work at walmart can only afford 1JZ's

Right Andy ? lol

 

[1SLOMK3]
