I've decided to sell the hx35 once I have everything for the new turbo. I may or may not keep the oil flanges but I don't think they will fit. Either way, the hx35 will need a rebuild. Theres thrust and side to side play, the wheels do not hit the housing and it still boosts fine Sent from...

I'm not sure if there is a rubbing compound I can get, or something along those lines. I'll have to ask around and check online. As far as just using the buffer wheel when they get a little dull, I don't mind doing that since it comes out so nice afterwards Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk

Today i bought a buffer wheel and polishing compound for my drill. For not really have used the stuff before on my drill, i dont think it turned out too bad! although it was way too sunny outside to get any good pictures so until then, here are the ones that turned out the best. update on the...

The title should be changed here shortly ;) i was running 18-19 psi on the hx35 and it really liked it. it made 416hp on 16.5 lbs which i was happy with, but wanted more. the hx52 from what ive seen online and read makes 409HP at 10lbs on a 1.5jz. 475whp on 14.5 lbs. i think ill be able to run...

ordered a new turbo...

thanks! glad you enjoyed it, its been a long tough build for me but in the end it was well worth it! so....i did a thing, this time its here to stay and make its way onto the soup. i started noticing that my turbo was progressively getting in and out shaft play...nice. so i did a little...

If you have a Facebook, I'd recommend looking at some of the supra pages. There are tons of very affordable 7m parts posted every day Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk

You may be aware and already have done it, I just can't tell from the pictures. but make sure you get the rear timing cover plate in and have it decked/resurfaced to the same specs as the block so the head gasket seals properly. Otherwise shortly after you get the engine together, you'll end...

A good pressure wash and touch up goes a long way! I've always been a fan on matching paint color for the entire car. But when done right black can look very nice too. If the borg warner falls through, a 7blade hx35 can get you pretty close to 500whp. Iirc there was a member on here putting...

if you have little to no funds, ill be the one to say it. the mk3 supra needs a lot of maintenance and some money to keep them going. it is after all a 24+ year old car. maybe a supra just isnt right for you right now

I decided to go with performance parts before appearance, I'm glad I did. It looks like your car had decent outside paint already so I wouldn't worry about the engine bay. An extra 1000 you would have spent on an engine bay spray could buy you a pretty nice ecu, or turbo. Or both Sent from...

Looks like a great start! Reminds me of my engine when I was building it, looks like you're doing a very similar paint scheme so far. As far as painting the bay, now is the time to do it. If you think you'll paint it eventually down the road, id do it. it'll save you pulling the engine again...

Installed a new catch can with 12an fittings Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk

Thanks! I'm pretty happy now that my tail light bulbs aren't burning up or leaking into the spare tire area. I took out the old catch can I built and started to install the new catch can I've had sitting on the shelf. The valve covers were taken off the head and drilled out in my drill...

end result: the center section came out slightly darker than the corners, so i will probably repaint it a lighter color if it doesnt look good on the car

Resprayed and sealed my tail lights Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk

Here's a few pictures of the darker usdm tail light vs a standard usdm tail light. I put clear marine epoxy/silicone with a bunch of clamps for tonight. Hopefully it sets up properly and doesn't leak anymore Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk

After a few days of rain I noticed that the spare tire area and hatch had a bunch of water. Upon further inspection, I noticed my tail lights needed a lot of attention. The oem gaskets were rotted and torn. The silicone holding the lenses on was also severely rotted and cracking. Parts of the...

I I used driftmotion.com and yotaconnectors.com mostly. Combined they had everything I needed minus new knock sensor connectors and pins. I ordered those from http://www.kaizenmotorsports.com/collections/wiring-and-connectors Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk
