Cool, let's see the pics!

Ok, lower IC pipe is all welded. Time to check for leaks: That's a PVC pipe cap, drilled and tapped for an air hose fitting. Another pipe cap on the other end and I can pressure my IC pipes with my air compressor. Putting 25 psi on it: Weld, grind, pressurize. Lather rinse...

Nope, you're going the wrong way. Supras need a mechanical speedo. I'm pretty sure I've seen a device that would convert a VSS signal into a motor drive for a speedo cable. I'm also pretty sure it was hundreds of dollars. Your car is newer and probably has an electric speedo already. Might...

Fully restored?

Thanks, guys! It runs, but the turbo just blows to ATM, ATM. Progress is in SSSLLOOOWWW MMMOOOTIOOONNN as I deal with the regular life stuff. Plus starting a business to help other swappers: www.lime-swap.com

IC pipes are mostly tacked together...

Why do pie cuts? You can get 304 in mandrel bends...

Love it! Is that a W58?

2nd'd. Kudos on building it yourself, but it'd be a shame if it doesn't work the way you wanted when it's all said in done. The T in the turbo up-pipe should really be replaced with a merge. As-is, the engine would probably tap out at 4k. A 2 pipe merge won't be TOO difficult to build...

See post 10. The camaro V6 clutches are very close. I picked the s10 clutch because I knew it would fit, but these might work also.

I got my engine from a yard, already pulled. The front diff bolts to the pan and the passenger axle passes through it. There's a tube in the oil pan, so the drivetrain is completely separate from the engine. It just looks like it's integrated. The TB engine is so tall I had to space my...

^ Thanks Rico! Got my IC in. It's an ebay special. Dual pass. Core dimensions are roughly 20 x 8 x 3. I used its box to make a sleeve for it. I know that it's gonna take a few test fits to fab up the mounts and I don't want to damage any fins. On top, there's quality control...

Yes, but it's 25% of -about- a million a year, so there's a ton of them out there. Also every trailblazer, 9-7x, envoy, bravada, etc is aluminum block.

^^ Good stuff. I had considered a LS swap prior to doing my 4200. If was going to use a V8, I'd find an aluminum block 5.3. They're plentiful and cheap.

Coated my turbo inlet and started on some IC pipes. Need an IC before I go much further...

4" intake: Should I coat the intake in silver like the compressor or gold like the valve cover?

Any updates on the seats? I like your idea of two-tone with red stitching. Gray is just plain boring. Have you considered changing the color of the interior? I think a burnt orange or cat-shit brown would be awesome.

I saw it for sale. I think he wanted $7500 for it?

I use HPtuners for ecu tuning and like it a lot. If anybody wants, I will reflash to turn off codes/VATS for basically the license fee.

Think volume, not pressure. The GM slave requires 3/4" diameter x 1" stroke. I was not able to find a stock Toyota piece that moves this much volume.
