Leaky Cap discovered!! R&R'd all five of 'em today. We'll see if this makes any difference with some over-fuelling I'm experiencing. Can't hurt, regardless.
Got my new spark plugs, NGK Copper BKR7E's....big spender! ;)
Also bought a new pair of rear tires yesterday, some BFG G-force Sport...
Thanks! Can't wait to get it out of hibernation! New Trans should be going in in April sometime. ;) Perhaps sooner depending on how horny I get! Haha!
PM Sent! The 1.22 turbine A/R is that large due to being twin scroll. :)
Also, you'll be hard-pressed to find any conclusive information...
Update!: Roasted the tranny. That's pretty much it! Really not surprised or upset, it's an inevitability with a near-stock auto. Started to slip in 1st gear, flaring a bit on the 1-2 shift, then I could hear the pump whine (usually indicating restricted flow)... Took it into work to have a...
Quick video just to prove it runs and sounds like a 1JZ! The ETT (Extended Tip Technology) compressor wheel has a very distinctive whine to it...This was my first run down the 1/4 mile with the new single setup. Boost was at 14, and I completely botched the launch and clearly missed my shift...
I couldn't agree more! I've seen a few S300 build-ups in a variety of trims and A/Rs. Great performance/known reliability and such a low price, and cheap to rebuild if required. Hard to beat.
Updates yes! Sorry for the hiatus, I've been so busy with life and such...you all know what I mean.
Notable notes:
-The Supra is running well, and drives great!
-I've since swapped out the 11.6psi springs for the 1 bar (14.7 psi) springs. (Wastegate removal and spring swap takes...
UPDATE: It's Running!
Tials happily mocked up in place:
Dump tubes welded in place (They merge together into a 2.25" stainless pipe, then flow into the bottom of my DP) No screamers here.
Tight fit in here....RHD cars have a bit of a handicap when trying to cram this much hardware between...
From what I have come to understand from reading, reading, reasearching and speaking to actual people is basically this: Effectively and accurately controlling low boost levels with a large turbocharger is best accomplished with two small wastegates as opposed to one large gate. That's my...
So I suck at build threads, as I don't seem to have the ability to take continual pics and post them to show actual progress.... haha!
I'm now one week past my completion goal date, but it's almost done, and I'm not discouraged by the delay yet. I still need to fit the wastegates and piping...
Been very busy with life! Stopping in for a progress picture dump!
Fuel system goodies. "Home-made" fuel damper bypass hose (Aeroquip 300PSI 3/8"), DM return line kit, Fuelab FPR, new Denso filter.
Dual Spal Fan Wiring. 2x30/40A pigtailed relays, two weathertight fuse holders, and an...
Thanks! I DID keep the Auto for drag racing and cruising purposes. Very aware of the power-handling capabilities of the A340 trans, so I'll likely stay Auto...Unless a Getrag appears on my back deck by chance...lol. And I am using a complete '91 Soarer drivetrain, the original N/A slushbox...
Haha! Agreed!!!....and edited....2010 indeed....
If I had loads of time to get it all done, this could all be done in a couple of weeks...kind of a spare time project at this point.
Hey there, just starting to get this 'build' off the ground as all of those wintertime-ordered parts have almost completed arriving. A Quick rundown:
-1994 Supra SZ (RHD), originally a 2JZ-GE Auto, now a 1JZ-GTE Auto;
-BHG last Fall, decided to go with a streetable daily driver single turbo...
Sounds like the typical alternator having a fit. My 1J did had the identical symptoms last year while it was in my Soarer, and knew it was the alternator. Had it rebuilt/upgraded locally. I believe the rectifier bridge was shot. Good luck!
I saw that video before actually, and I'm not convinced the turbo is the issue. Not quite sure what's going on with his setup but it should spool much faster than in that particular video. I don't expect to be disappointed, nor do I trust just one person's BMW...lol! I hope not, anyway. ;)...
