    Jon's 1989 1JZ single turbo restoration and build: Stellllllaaaaa!

    Thanks Lance, I stopped by on Saturday and talked to Kevin. Nice guy, nice shop. I'll probably have it sprayed there. I got the axles and they were just shipped in the sort of boxes they come in at the parts store, no packing of any sort. One of them lost a boot clamp along the way so I bought...

    Jon's 1989 1JZ single turbo restoration and build: Stellllllaaaaa!

    The body is ready aside from the trunk floor and fuel cell mounting. I've been working on getting the loose stuff - moldings, nose piece, headlight lids and surrounds, etc ready for primer. I've ordered a 15 gallon fuel cell, a new rear passenger knuckle to replace the one that was seized to...

    CT26 turbo sounds almost like a compressor?! High pitch air flow sound when boosting!

    Is your accordion hose falling apart, losing bits into the turbo?

    new hood

    The 89'-'92's aren't that much different from the '86.5-'88's. The tail lights would fit if you swapped the center part (though most will argue the '89+ look better). The rest would fit just fine. The only thing else that wouldn't bolt up between years is the fog lights and front turn signals...

    Unfortunately not, too much else going on. I'm hoping to work on it this week during the evenings and this weekend though.

    Supramania's Elite Engine bay Thread...ZERO progress pics.

    I was thinking the same. It should stay a tad cooler routed that way. Looks custom. Either way it's nice.

    Sure, whenever you want to stop by. There is Cars and Coffee in Leander this Sunday: http://austin.carsandcoffee.info/

    Jon's 1989 1JZ single turbo restoration and build: Stellllllaaaaa!

    Finished the rough shape of the rear bumper today: I might add some fins to the middle. I had contemplated buying the Regulus rear, but already had the Bomex sides molded in and I like them better than the sides of the Regulus piece anyhow. Sure I could have cut it up and worked it in with...

    Limequat's 4.2l I6 Swap

    Is it a low side trigger? PCM grounds the pin instead of putting 12V to it? Have you tried connecting the other side of the relay to +12 instead of ground? I had a similar issue with my AEM, that turned out to be a bad connection on one of the ground lines.

    Dok's E85 powered 2jzge-T build

    If you use the stainless stuff you can go around bragging at 2K11 how your hoses cost more than your motor. :bling:

    Dok's E85 powered 2jzge-T build

    Screw 2K10, mine will be ready for 3K10 :) Hooray for not spewing oil. I <3 stainless AN crap... but my wallet disagrees.

    Jon's 1989 1JZ single turbo restoration and build: Stellllllaaaaa!

    I got another coat of primer on her this Saturday: I also POR-15'd the rear subframe and bumper supports. The POR-15 self-leveled quite nicely, since it took forever to dry, but unfortunately I can't say the same for the topcoat. Oh well, they won't be very visible anyhow, and at...

    Jon's 1989 1JZ single turbo restoration and build: Stellllllaaaaa!

    Thanks for the tip, Lance. I've just been brushing it on with a foam brush. It self-levels pretty well. Plus with the way it sticks like mad to everything I don't think I'd want to deal with overspray.

    Jon's 1989 1JZ single turbo restoration and build: Stellllllaaaaa!

    Any info you have would be appreciated. Update: My Supra now has mufflers and my dining room does not. The right one looks a bit crooked, despite using a straightedge across the bottom of the tips to align them. I must say I'm a bit disappointed by the fit and finish of the...

    Jon's 1989 1JZ single turbo restoration and build: Stellllllaaaaa!

    Good deal! I'd like to keep the stock gauge. I was thinking of trying to use the guts of a 3rd gen Camry speedometer with the Supra face and needle, then using a Dakota Digital SGI-5 to calibrate it. Either that or a Cable-X but I'd rather not take that route unless I have to. Any ideas you...

    Jon's 1989 1JZ single turbo restoration and build: Stellllllaaaaa!

    I bought them from this guy: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?71649 They weren't completely "bolt on" as they required some modification to both the car and the hinges - but they were much closer than any universal kit would be. Tekdeus and tried to fit the 90 degree ones...

    Thanks, that's perfect. I was thinking the Soarer R154 VSS might fit, but that would probably be difficult to source.

    Nice parts :) Decided on the Centerforce over the Spec?

    Not for a while, the car doesn't have any subframes so there's nothing to bolt them to :)
