Jahova witnesses are the reason t he chinese invented fireworks lol and yea i cant wait to get it finished. Nice to meet you emperor its always good to meet a fellow enthusiest. Anyone that can help me get ahold of a decent stock turbo exhaust for cheap as im as broke as a joke because of all this crank buying bullshit also im looking for mouldings and such.
Gary I got a turbo exhaust with a ricer canister on it that I ripped off the supra when I bought the HKS setup. Prior to ripping it off, I welded up most if not all of the leaks. Its been sitting in my backyard for a year, if you want it, its yours!
i have a 3 inch megan dp, with elbow and stock cat back sitting in my garage, but im currently in fl.
so i finally got my car to a spot i can work ill post pics later. but its sorta ina garage but has enough room for me to work around the front of it so its no biggie. I got an engine hoist and an engine stand so i should be good to put the new crank and bearings in as soon as i get my effing bearings in which have been coming in for far to long now gunna have to call the performance shop and see wats up today. Other then that ill be working on her on the up coming nights/days to get her finished up and back up to snuff. Till than
later

A beautiful day spent under, over, and around my car with some good progress. I should have taken the motor out but still need to unbolt the tranny, also still need to get the motor mounts off and such but other then that shes good to go. Still waiting on my bearings which is pretty bullshit if u ask me but hey titan never got back to me which confuses me but owell patience will prevail me in this one. I'm sorta flying solo on this one and seem to remember everything from putting it together with kotu100. I found a massive boost leak pics are to follow but some how the intercooler pipe that attaches to the compressor side of the turbo was crushed and mangled i must have bottomed out good somewhere and never noticed it. So another part that needs replacing but all is good as long as it gets done in a reasonable time. Also i placed my boost gauge on the instrument cluster shroud right infront of the stock one and there is a pic to follow of that as well. Enjoy and ill be updating again real soon when some more progress is made.
Got the tranny off unbolted from the car today and took the drive shaft and 1 motor mount loosend up and ready to go. Got one more and then taking the wireharness out of the inside of the car. Hopefily tomorrow i can lift the motor our and get the tranny unbolted and the motor onto the stand so i can crack her open soon. Work in progress. Will update when im done tomorrow.

that boost gauge is for a diesel... theres no vacuum
you need one with vac. and you aint gonna be goin up to 40+ psi anytime soon lol
Hey everyone ^_^,
Work on the supra has gotten some more head way as the oil pan is off the bearings are in and its time to swap the crank and piece it all back together. Problem is im coming into a storm tomorrow and dont know if im going to be able to drop the motor in the supra as of yet. I will permitting i can get enough drive way cleared to back her up and get the motor out of the garage. I found the spun bearing, it was on piston number 3 the pics of the bearing carnage are to follow along with other during work pics. Also did my taxes today and found that im getting $3600.00 back and im excited to say im going to be making some good changes to the supra. all and all getting it done in the spring time to early summer where it will be at a sutiable power level and i can work on what to do next. Here are the pics and thanks for reading the thread will update as soon as there is some more news.

Finally got my hands on a pully puller and got the crank out of the block and sprayed it all down with some PB blaster. Now im at a point where i don't know if i should replace pistons and rings or just the rings i mean yea the pistons are a bit dirty but there not messed up in anyway so i think im leaning twords just rings. Next on the list is to get everything out and scrub it all down in a nice warm soapy bath, then let it all soak in oil till the rest of the parts come in. I will update with more pics and info once i get the rest of the stuff going this weekend Enjoy and thanks for checking out my thread.
This is a great build, what a transformation this supra's been through lol. Good luck on this build.
Thanks man yea its alot of patience im learning slowley you cant rush this car or it gets sorta finikey so im trying to look at it from all angles before throwing myself into it. I cleaned the pistons off today well mostly clean they are soaking in engine degreaser and they will get a full warm soapy water bath prior to the oil soaking. Odering the new rings and exhaust and intake should be here in the next week or 2 and the motor will be going back in. Ill have to pull a couple late nighters to get it all together within the next couple weeks but it will be worth it. Thanks for reading and keep coming back for updates.
Well my fellow supra owners I have not been on in a very long while feel like I have been really neglecting the site. But i come bearing good news regarding the supra the motor is now back together with a couple other loose ends to take care of. I need to get my self a flywheel and pressure plate assembly, Going to be looking through the forums today to see what I can find. I painted my valve covers, Timing gears and bolts and also the front timing case cover purple ^_^ now im starting to get jdm on it. As kotu100 did a gloss white and because he is one of my best friends in real life i'm going to be going with a Matte Black finish on the supra and finish all the body modifications and paint within the 60 days i'm with out a licence thanks to the great state of MA. This will be the first time I have ever painted a car and hopefully with Kotu100's guidance it can come out remotely good lol. But without further ado here are the pics of the finished painted products and the motor back together i did not have time to take any while i was putting the new crank in but its ok. Also I painted the coil packs silver which are not in the pic's to follow but will be photographed once I get the motor back in the car and everything. Thanks for reading and stay posted as im going to be hitting it hard within these 60 days to get my car completely finished.
Thanks again
Thanks again
Finally this build is living up to it's title.
This thing is gonna be so damn JDM it's gonna hurt.

Got the Ac unit out of the supra today as i didnt even use it last summer and dont see the need for me to use it this summer. Also i got the entire rear interior out of the back of the car, so any one that reads this i will be posting a F/S thread and selling the entire gray interior which is in great shape im going with some racing seats and such i just like them better. Due to lack of a jack and a friend avaliable to help me for a hour or so the motor will be left out of the car till further notice. Was hopeing to get it in today but no such luck ill be posting the pics of everything i took out today and such and thats another item that will be fs if anyone wants the ac system other than the condenser because kotu100 already has dibs but i have it all. Until later on my fellow mk3 owners have an awesome sunday and boost around a little for me as im feening for turbo so bad maby i can get contact spooled from your enjoyment of madd PSI/
