Emilio, Sean bought the "beast" from me and has his welder mounted on the bed of it. She still ran well but it was time to upgrade. Had the Dodge over 10 years and a ton of fun in her. (He still has it sitting in my back yard) The 06 GMC is the LBZ version and is considered by the Duramax boys...

Latest update: I have dropped the insurance down to comprehensive and am done driving the Supra for the season. This is the first fall in a long time that my car is actually running strong. Just need to sort out the fan shroud this winter. Probably fabricate one from sheet metal. I am still...

Quin thanks for the compliment. Emilio, I appreciate the help. I went back to the stock fan set up due to cooling issues with my previous electric fan set up. It really is a hybrid set up. I have the 2JZ fan clutch mated to a 7M fan blade, with Sean's adapter. It still fits pretty tight but...

It's been a while since I posted here. Almost a year. I actually have been driving the Supra only a fair amount this summer. Mostly have been driving the 240Z. I have been a bit reluctant to really push the Supra because I need a tune in the worst way. I had a guy named Devin who tunes the local...

Steve, Glad to hear father hood is agreeing with you. Take it from me, she will grow fast. If you decide to go auto, I want first dibs on your upgraded tranny if it goes up for sale, as my Supra is due to have the tranny upgrade in near future. I also thought about an automatic but I...

Holy Shit! Nice car. And I thought my 240 was nice. My MKIII get compliments but the 240 really turns heads http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6mZbH-pnvs&feature=player_embedded

Steve, what a monster. It's getting hard to keep up with the Jones!

We have the minor leaks fixed. I took her for a drive tonight with my wife. Surprising she didn't bitch too much. Really a difference driving her and the 240Z ! I do have exhaust gases getting into the cabin and have got to find the leak. Today I cleaned her up a bit on the inside. She really...

Last night Sean drove the Supra to his place and took her to work today. 40 miles on the new rebuild now. We have a couple of minor oil leaks and a soft exhaust leak. Still putting stuff back together. It has been a real challenging summer. I plan to have her broke in by freeze up and this...

Jetpower,thanks for the compliment. I have waited to post because I have been impatiently waiting for the new exhaust housing for the turbo. Comp really took their sweet time sending it out. Spool valve sold, spacer machined by local shop, so we are ready to put her back together again. Tonight...

Well, I have went back and forth on this project, drove out to North Dakota to talk to my friend Gary, e-mailed several guys, DaveH, Steve, Emilio and got their input. I have read through the build thread by SySt several times and have come to the conclusion that by swapping in an LS engine, it...

Thanks for the feedback Steve. You are right. I do enjoy her when she runs. I have never cared much for the spool valve. I can certainly down size the housing. Going to get her on the engine stand this week and start the process all over again. I wonder if the modified oil pump could have...

Emilio, these cars can cause pain. Believe me, been there, and done that on many occasions. Hope it's not too bad.

I am back. To say that this has been another frustrating season is understating big time. Here is what has happened since I last posted here. Took her our for a spin once exhaust was fabricated. Went about 6 miles, when I suddenly had a loud knocking sound from lower end. I know rod knock...

Hey Steve, you might want to talk to Sean. He has moved the Miller welder back to my shop. If you buy the pieces, I will be he and you can fabricate a nice system. He's currently tweaking mine. BTW, the electronic stuff on my Supra looks great.
