Greetings from Wisconsin everyone.
Now that is finally starting to warm up I can start working on the supra. It all started in January when I saw a local Facebook ad of a 1990 Toyota supra turbo roller. As a roller obviously it didn't come with an engine, Trans or driveshaft. The car itself I was told is the "white" edition. I found that to be unique. I am a fox body guy so this is a little different approach.

The car has been sitting in my shop since January. Since it didn't have a motor I obviously had to find one. Not to long after I had bought the car I found a semi rebuilt 1jz with stock twins locally! The motor has new valve seals, shimmed cams, and new seals/gaskets all around. Saves me the hassle of doing it.

The motor came with the basic accessories. It did not come with an engine harness, ecu or trans. I had to start located everything needed for the swap on the internet. Lots of sourcing! It really isn't fun trying to find every piece separately.
I ended up finding a r-154 Trans locally
Got a brand new soarer harness and ecu

I have received almost everything need to finally do the swap. An oil pan is currently on its way. The motor came with a front sump so it will not work. I will be selling the front sump on here shortly.
I am building this car just to be a unique daily driver. I do not drift nor do I race. I am not trying to pump massive amounts of horsepower it. It would just be sad to see this car get crushed if no one bought it.
I have been picking up a lot of misc. parts for the build too. Not needed but i got almost everything for the right price.
Slightly used driftmotion exhaust

Brand new driftmotion lightweight 11.5lb flywheel, driftmotion downpipe, map sensor, and mkiv throttle cable.

I have a cheap twin turbo header coming as well. I have bought everything off of Facebook pages and eBay. Haven't bought anything from specific websites yet.
Before I drop the motor in I plan on repainting the engine bay. May be a little work but I do want it to look nice. Also I will be painting those what I think are hideous valve covers white or blue. Along with that I plan on getting the little rust fixed and repainted the stock white.
Let me know what you all think! If you have and suggestions or opinions don't hold back. As soon as I start bolting everything up I am sure I will be asking a number of questions. Hopefully you guys can help me!
