Seeing as how i'm an executive this year i've told people this a lot. Formula is something that you HAVE to WANT to do. If your like "oh i will make time later...or next year..or etc" its just not going to happen. And to those who are in first year or second year and so on...IT JUST GETS...

Who here is on a formula team? Better yet who even knows what FSAE is? I'm the fab leader for the University of alberta's '08 car and just wonderin who else shares my 2 passions: formula and supras!!!! Check out my teams website that i made at: http://ualbertafsae.weebly.com to learn more...

well I have my turbo's off my car right now and i'm going to change the oil before i put them back on anyway. U think i should just hammer it out? Does it really matter the shape as long as it clears the crank?

Hey all, just wondering if there's any Albertan activity in the supra community? I'm in Edmonton and almost have my supra(1jz) up and running and would love to chill out and go cruising some time. Catcha later.

Hey, i just noticed last night while pulling my turbos that my oil pan is dented pretty good and needs replaced. Where can i get a new one?

LOL thanks, i kinda feel accomplished now. Like I've done something that not many can do. lol and now I'm going to make the horrible mistake of putting them right back on!! oh i hate myself...lol, the worst thing is i still have not gotten to drive the car. I haven't even felt the true power of...

I can't remove the rear intake pipe though because the bolt hits the firewall. That is going to be my biggest challenge when putting everything back together. Making sutre the oil lines get connected properly.

Success!!!! Oh sweet and yet a lil bitter success!!! I hate that shit, i can't believe the stupid problems i ran into! Tomorrow i'll try and get some pics up. I honestly don't know how i'm going to get it back together now though....my biggest problem is the tubing. its everywhere and near...

Thanks for the info ^^^ How about tightening when going back on? How tight? Also another thing, wut is ur guy's method for oiling the system. Do you change out the oil before you put the new turbos on? etc...

Well i should also mention that i am doing this in the parking lot of my apartment building and its dark by the time i get home from work already too. So getting under the car is possible but not fun. i'll try to get a wrench under the bolts from above like i did with the lower front manifold...

How did u get the 2 underside nuts on the rear turbo though with the y-pipe and front turbo still connected? Is it easier than i think or what? I've also seen it suggested to remove the rear manifold from the block rather than the turbo from the mani because the bolts are easier to get to...

Hey all, I know this is a crappy topic and everyone hates it. I do realize that this has been kinda covered in a few other threads but what i'm looking for is more specific answers to more specific questions. One thing i really wish this site had is a Sticky for a guide to stock twin removal...

Thats awesome dude. Although if it were an '07....oh boy those things are gunna be deadly.

Just to make it clear i personally have not done these upgrades yet. With that said though, i have removed my gas tank and i can tell you that alone is a good days work. If i were you, i would reserve the weekend, or a couple, for this one. Otherwise take it to a shop. just my .02

I dunno wut the weather is like where ur from but here we have 8 months of winter, 2 months of fall and 2 good months of driving.....lol so if i did that my sup would never be driven and die from neglect...

I hate winter....my cars get so dirty and rusty....booooo

The thing about this topic is that there are so many factors involved that you can't really say its any one thing, and every little thing affects it to some extent. I'd say the biggest factor to float would be the spring rates and the duration. Maybe boost level and flow if they're large enough...

Any updates? looks like fun so far!!
