The intake is a custom, funky_monkey58 special. Fabricated by my nephew Sean. The exhaust is: http://www.amazon.com/Turbo-Manifold-93-98-Toyota-2JZ-GTE/dp/B005KT4NM2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1330920497&sr=8-2 I can't see spending the big bucks that some do on these. I probably could have left...

The exhaust manifold is all bolted down tight. I wrapped it with the same header wrap I have used on my old manifold. A real pain in the ass, but they are secure and I don't think it looks too bad. Sean snapped the turbo blanket in position. We might need to cut away a small piece on the bottom...

The rail looks like a fricken pop can. Hope to have clutch hooked up, down pipe fabricated, intake manifold welds ground down and polished, plus electrical stuff. We are planning a bunch of parts to be powder coated as well.

My new fuel rail. It's a -10, Ross Machine Racing clear anodize finish. -10 is huge. If things go as planed and no more bad weather, we should see significant progress this weekend. Photos didn't turn out as well as I liked. It makes my Titan fuel rain look small.

I know it's just a small piece of the big picture, but the tach driver showed up today. We had plans to get some work done today but a big flipping snowstorm slowed Sean down. Instead of working on the Supra, he had to pull my wife out of a snow drift and give her a ride to work. Something about...

Drew, talk to Sean. I know he has the Lexus AFM in the garage. I don't think he has the 550's but he might.

Steve I hope you are right. I have lived here long enough to know, all bets are out. After the nasty winter of 2010-11 we are due for a mild one. Emilio, I once had to shovel 12" of snow out of my boat on the opening of fishing season on May 12th. IJ. hope your wrong also. Tonight we are...

Emilio, this is MN, we will see snow!! Since we haven't had our usual amount yet, it will probably snow into mid June.

Thanks NewGen. Still so much work to do. Spring is a long way off but this year I want to really be ready, as soon as snow melts.

I received several e-mails from Brian @ Fuelab. The 529xx will be out later this month. He recommended the 52901 electronic regulator for my street/track car in combination with the 41401 or if planning on over 800 rwhp, the 41402.

I found it on Amazon, it was more expensive on e-bay. Sold by crx racing on Amazon. Brand name is ETD? It's not the $130 e-bay special, but not the $1500 one they sell on their either. Here's the link...

A couple of pic's of the new manifold and what we are up too: I snapped these after I got home from the clinic. Sean has the new manifold bolted up, we are mocking it up because we are trying to figure out the new position of the wastegate. This time we will put it under the manifold...

Steve, if your mechanically able to do the tranny upgrades, perhaps next winter I can slip you some cash to do mine. I know mine has some issues as well.

Chip, do you know anyone running one of these Fuelab electronic regulators? I read a bit more on them and I am interested. It seems they make several versions of them. The 529 series seem more along the lines of what we need vs. the 565 as they can support up to 1800 h/p. I want to learn a bit...

Hey Steve, are you doing the Marlin Crawler upgrades? If so, eventually would love to do my Supra as well. This year I am really planning to test her hard. Let me know when your going to be in St. Cloud. Sean will be here next weekend. We will be putting the manifolds on the beast...

Interesting, I am going to pass this on to Sean (funky_monkey58), as he does the lions share of my work. He's getting expensive nowdays but since he sold his old built 7m, doesn't have a hot car to drive, and I let him run my car for a few passes at the track.

I agree with Magnafuel as well. You just have to be careful to be sure to run a big enough pump keeping in mind that you need 33% more capacity if your burning e-85. Plus you also want to keep in mind future turbo upgrades. If I go with Magnafuel I would probably run this pump. Might as well...

I got rid of my A-1000. It was really loud, although it worked fine. My plans are for one of the fuelab in-line pumps. http://fuelab.com/prodigy-fuel-pumps/42401-prodigy-fuel-pump-high-pressure-efi-in-line $479 shipped to your door I did a search here...

Tonight Sean and I worked a bit on the 2JZ. We had to remove the Crank pulley to install the billet timing tensioner bracket. That mother was on there tight. 239 lbs of torque. The tensioner should have been put on during assembly, but I didn't find a deal until we already had her back from the...

Steve, that looks like a hell of a lot of fun. I may just have to try that my self next season.
