Leaky Cap discovered!! R&R'd all five of 'em today. We'll see if this makes any difference with some over-fuelling I'm experiencing. Can't hurt, regardless. Got my new spark plugs, NGK Copper BKR7E's....big spender! ;) Also bought a new pair of rear tires yesterday, some BFG G-force Sport...

Welcome to the boards!

Thanks! Can't wait to get it out of hibernation! New Trans should be going in in April sometime. ;) Perhaps sooner depending on how horny I get! Haha! PM Sent! The 1.22 turbine A/R is that large due to being twin scroll. :) Also, you'll be hard-pressed to find any conclusive information...

Update!: Roasted the tranny. That's pretty much it! Really not surprised or upset, it's an inevitability with a near-stock auto. Started to slip in 1st gear, flaring a bit on the 1-2 shift, then I could hear the pump whine (usually indicating restricted flow)... Took it into work to have a...

Quick video just to prove it runs and sounds like a 1JZ! The ETT (Extended Tip Technology) compressor wheel has a very distinctive whine to it...This was my first run down the 1/4 mile with the new single setup. Boost was at 14, and I completely botched the launch and clearly missed my shift...

I couldn't agree more! I've seen a few S300 build-ups in a variety of trims and A/Rs. Great performance/known reliability and such a low price, and cheap to rebuild if required. Hard to beat.

Updates yes! Sorry for the hiatus, I've been so busy with life and such...you all know what I mean. Notable notes: -The Supra is running well, and drives great! -I've since swapped out the 11.6psi springs for the 1 bar (14.7 psi) springs. (Wastegate removal and spring swap takes...

thanks, and not yet! There will be. ;)

UPDATE: It's Running! Tials happily mocked up in place: Dump tubes welded in place (They merge together into a 2.25" stainless pipe, then flow into the bottom of my DP) No screamers here. Tight fit in here....RHD cars have a bit of a handicap when trying to cram this much hardware between...

From what I have come to understand from reading, reading, reasearching and speaking to actual people is basically this: Effectively and accurately controlling low boost levels with a large turbocharger is best accomplished with two small wastegates as opposed to one large gate. That's my...

Some supplementary info: Turbo Oil Feed Line: -3AN, Teflon, stainless braided, using forward-most OEM twin oil feed port. (Rear blocked off, soon to feed gauge) Catch Can: Driftmotion, replaced babrbed fitting inlets with thread-in -8AN fittings. Used original Charcoal canister bracket...

So I suck at build threads, as I don't seem to have the ability to take continual pics and post them to show actual progress.... haha! I'm now one week past my completion goal date, but it's almost done, and I'm not discouraged by the delay yet. I still need to fit the wastegates and piping...

Thanks! I actually intend on moving to Calgary at the end of this Summer! Supra's coming too. :) We'll have to compare notes!

Been very busy with life! Stopping in for a progress picture dump! Fuel system goodies. "Home-made" fuel damper bypass hose (Aeroquip 300PSI 3/8"), DM return line kit, Fuelab FPR, new Denso filter. Dual Spal Fan Wiring. 2x30/40A pigtailed relays, two weathertight fuse holders, and an...

Thanks! I DID keep the Auto for drag racing and cruising purposes. Very aware of the power-handling capabilities of the A340 trans, so I'll likely stay Auto...Unless a Getrag appears on my back deck by chance...lol. And I am using a complete '91 Soarer drivetrain, the original N/A slushbox...
