My Money Pitt Build

[Bomberillo]

Just making a quick list of things I have bought for my supra since I got It for the build. It is damn close here as the block and head is at the machine shop. So here is the list and roughly what I paid for everything.

1987 Toyota Supra Turbo $3000
Aluminum Radiator $ 300
Cometic Head gasket $200
Turbo Timer $100
R154 $500
Aem Standalone 1100
Hks stopper Head Gasket $325
Az oil supply pipe $125
Pt67 Turbo $600
Used T4 Manifold $100
Modified oil pump $400
Arp Everything $350
Engine Bearings $100
BC Valve springs and Retainers $300
SI valves $300
Stage two head port and polish $850
Reground 264 cams $250
Wiseco Pistons $500
Eagle Rods $400
Hks Tems controller $250
Illumina 2's $300
B&G Lowering springs $200
Cold start injector hose $30
7m Non coolant turbo bypass $50
7m Gasket set $100
Block machine work and balancing $500
Fidanza Flywheel $300
Fidanza cam gears $200
Walbro Fuel Pump $100
Aero Fuel Pressure Reg $250
18x9 Wheels $600
Tires $500

All these things I have in my possession and I am still not done. I still need to buy a few more things like;

Fuel Injectors $500
Wastegate $300
Map sensor $50
IAT sensor $50
Aem Uego wideband $200
Dowards big brake kit. $600-700
What you dont think I want to stop. All this power and no brakes would be insane.

Anybody dare to ad this up. Please if you do keep it to yourself. I have not. Building a 7m is not cheap but after its done I think I will be content. I am a boost junkie and I need my fix.

this would belong in the build thread and........:ttiwwp:

 

[jdub]

Bomberillo - Is this going to be an ongoing build thread?

If so, it does not belong in this section...please advise.

 

[Bomberillo]

No not ongoing, just wanted to let a few people know its expensive to go built 7m. If I had known it would cost this much or seen a thread like this, I think I might have gone 1jz or 2jz.

 

[IJ.]

So you never read my 7M thread?

 

[jdub]

Alright just checking, it can stay here.

BTW - to build a 2J to the same caliber is going to cost as much or more

Except if you're keeping the long block stock.


Good build Bomberillo. Believe me, if you're doing things right, is gonna cost you a LOT more yet...:biglaugh:

 

[jdub]

Except if you're keeping the long block stock.

Which he is not
Keep the comparison valid as to what he's already doing to the 7M...that's what I was saying.
To just take a so called "low mileage JDM 2J" (yeah, right) engine and slap it in is a crap shoot like any used motor you buy.

 

[Bomberillo]

So you never read my 7M thread?

I guess I missed it IJ. I did not see it and if I had I think I would have sold my supra from from Shock. Just kidding man. I will look for your thread now.

Cometic Head gasket $200

Hks stopper Head Gasket $325

Why 2 head gaskets ?

 

[Bomberillo]

Why 2 head gaskets ?

I bought two because the first one was ran for about 1k miles and blew that one. I guess its not really relevant as it is not part of the complete build. So scratch the cometic.

 

[Supraholics]

Why 2 head gaskets ?

Because you can never have enough HGs with a 7M :biglaugh:

$12,080 so far with what you have. Think of what new car you could get for that. A chevy aveo?... maybe or a kia.

I easily have that x2 in electronics to run the car

I had 7K Aud in the head alone, 10K Aud in the back end of the car, you're doing fine you have a LOT for such a small amount of $
(Paying shipping from the other side of the planet for most things hurt badly here)

Quick question IJ. Do you think the walbro will do it for my hp goal or should I drop it and go with a different setup.

 

[IJ.]

I figured out what would work for my HP goal then doubled it, can never have too much supply if you run a decent reg, one lean out will reduce all that $ to crap in a millisecond if it happens at the top end.

Good point. I was this close to just running the walbro but your absolutely right. All this money invested to waste with one lean out. So you can ad that to the list aswell.
