1jzpwrlives JZA70 build thread

[1jzpwrlives]

Hello all. Here is my second go around with a JZA70.

I purchased a JZA70 from Japan and its currently being shipped to the states. I should see it in about 2 1/2 weeks. As we all should know, the JZA70 is legal to own in the states because of the federal 25 year law. I have the opportunity to get which ever car I wanted and even though I wanted an FD, my wife and I agreed that I truly wanted my old Supra. I tried to buy my old JZA70 back, but the owner did not wan to sell the car back to me. I ended up finding one in Japan that resembled my old supra (sort of). Here are some pix before it left Japan:







With the anticipation of the car coming, I kinda lost control of my parts buying. Well, so my wife says. haha!!

So here are some parts so far. More parts are on the way. I'm sure ya'll know what the parts are so I won't get into the description of them.

I'm almost sure this is a fake MOMO. it came from Japan, so thats a little weird.




This might work...

I stopped at 1000 grit for today.



I have some cleaning up to do with this turbo kit. To be continued...

Looks good! Where did you import the car from and what part of Texas?

 

[1jzpwrlives]

I went wth JDM Expo. Before I say anything about them, I want to receive the car first. I now live in SE Texas.

That’s in Canada? I’m in the far sw, technically New Mexico but 5 min away

Nice build you have going on.

What water neck is that?

I don’t think JDM Expo has an office in Canada. They have a main hub/ office in Japan.

What water neck is that?

It’s a 1j/2j but polished.

Do the tubes on the right hand side just pull out?

Do the tubes on the right hand side just pull out?

yeah, its takes some effort, but the water return lines are just pressed in. I bought some 1/8 nipples to thread in. Ill post some pix of them later.

 

[1jzpwrlives]

Updated F-con pix first page.

polishing updates...

now its time for some corrosion control.

Please do

 

[Justin727]

Hurry up and post the new pics here now please!

 

[1jzpwrlives]

ok, I've received 99% of my parts and Ive had to do some major corrosion control.
firs off; here is the upper water neck with the twist in 1/8 npt nipples.



I didn't take pix because the friggen rust was a mess. But, I had to wire wheel the crap out of the manifold, downpipes and turbo. Then I had to coat everything. Here is the end result:








had to take the waste gate apart do to a washer rattling around...

this guy!!


true old school SARD product!


I bought some Downstar bolts. Cause what is offered to the Supra community is strait garbage!!! I had to basically build my own kit, but I've had nothing but success with Frank's company.

 

[1jzpwrlives]

Gauges came in!


Apex PFC!! JZA70 specific!



F-con pro bracket...




Box or rare JZA70 electronics!!


lastly, PHR water pump pulley cover.




Thats it for now. I'll post up pix of my fuel rail set up later.

 

[Justin727]

AWESOME!!! Looking forward to it going together. I like my T78 on my mk4. Had the newer version with the Vband exhaust housing. I ended up selling it for a 6766 just to have them later in the year have a billet upgrade for it being made. Looking at possibly getting back into a mk3 myself more specifically a JZA70.

Looking forward to seeing more out of your build thread.
