LOL. Rome wasn't built in a few weeks you know...Patience young grasshoppa.

Werd. Truth be told, I didn't start this thread for months; wanted to wait towards the end of the build. This project has taken about 4 months.

Thanks broski!!

I almost bought a S13 a few years back, but every time I went to check them out, they were not as described, and they were asking double KBB. Kinda lost interest after a while. Maybe one day. It is a sharp car once pimped out.

 

HKS 30-way adjustable coilovers



Fluidyne radiator



Old pic showing the Grandma Camry wheel



It's replacement. Hard to find discontinued TRD steering wheel with airbag

 

Battery had to be relocated to the trunk to accommodate the massive 4" charge piping etc

I'll be using two of these bad boys with custom brackets.

 

Batteries installed and hidden from view.




No obstructions FTW. OEM panel fits like it should



OEM carpet in place. Cusco carbon fiber rear strut tower bar can also be seen in this pic.

 

BEFORE

Greddy Boost controller and Greddy Turbo Timer. I installed them this way to mimick the layout of the AC controls




AFTER

HKS EVC Boost Controller. Best boost controller period. HKS Turbo Timer is shown below it.



Work in progress picture below

Titek Carbon Fiber gauge pod on the side of dash.
DEFI Advance CR Gauges (extremely hard to find in stock, luckily I found them from some vendor in Australia) are as follows:
Boost
Oil Temp
Oil Pressure
Water Temp

Features about DEFI control unit.

• Interactive communication advanced system is implemented.
• ADVANCE Control Unit can control up to 7 Defi-Link Meter ADVANCE CRs at a time.
• Gauges can be controlled from distance with the included switch unit.
• Opening and closing modes can be selected from 2 variations.
• Warning by buzzer sound when the warning LED is on (buzzer sound can be turned on / off).
• Peak value and warning value during driving are stored. Driving data can be stored and replayed up to 3 minutes.

Custom SP Engineering intercooler gauge (inlet temp, outlet temp, and delta reading) surrounded in CF can be seen below the shifter. Other goodies in the armrest console. I'll get to those soon.

 

 

NSFW WARNING

But those pictures..................












































(Stolen from Biggle's post in OT)

 

love what you're doing with this car, subscribing for future updates...

 

I love your project! Keep up the great work!

And extreme spending! Discontinued items and special batteries, those must cost a lot! Let us in on your secret, are you a doctor? CEO of Boeing? President of a Shell? A Caribbean pirate? A South American drug lord?

And are you hiring a money strapped college student

 

My suggestion would be a factory toyota color 1F4.. It has 4 different colors of flake in it.. And when its clean and the sun hits it.. Man.. It pops like none other.. I think it would look sick on your car.. Its coming along nicely tho..

 

God bless you.

 

how much was teh build and what bank did you rob as i don't want them to think im you hittin the same place twice!!!!

 

Thanks G-man!!

LOL. Nice GIF!!

Thanks man. Lots more pics coming up within the next few days.

Thanks for the props Leo!
Yes, yes, yes, yes but only on the weekends, maybe....ssshhh

 

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into it. In the meantime, got pics of said color? ics:



More than I'd like to remember, let's put it that way.

 

This clutch line has been discontinued for years now. I had to go to the ends of the earth to get this bad boy. Ok, I lied. I got it from some weird Japanese yahoo auction where all the text was in Japanese. Kinda like a Japanese ebay.

 

HKS 4" Titanium Exhaust.

 

Vpro Engine Management system installed in Glove box surrounded in carbon fiber (on the bottom, DEFI gauge unit on top). This ain't no piggyback, this is a full standalone ECU computer. The EMS, 2JZ harness, mixture controller and all sensors set me back around 3k.

For those who don't know, it has proprietary software than only authorized HKS tuners can access. Much different than AEM where anyone can hook up their laptop and have at it.








Racelogic Traction control module (left)
HKS mixture controller (right)

Racelogic traction control is a pretty rare mod and had to be imported from the UK.
Based on the driving conditions, I can set the dial to help keep my back end in check. This, coupled with the TRD LSD I had installed (sorry, no pics) should keep me out of trouble. The Racelogic TC also has launch control as well (for drag racing purposes)


HKS mixture controller is tied to the Vpro EMS.
If I'm running 91 pump gas, I have the dial set one way.
If I put in 109 or C16 gas, I turn the dial to the correct setting.
So, at the turn of the dial, I have access to the different maps stored in the EMS. No need to hook up a laptop, upload new map etc

 

Zoomed out pic.




This cool this gadget is made by SPE. It's an air temp gauge. It has 3 settings. I can see the air temp before the intercooler (in), after the intercooler (out), or the delta (difference between the two)

 

Granny wheel is gone, finally. LOL
Also, if you look closely above the right steering wheel stalk, you can the the HKS A/F knock Amp. I had a second wideband O2 sensor installed on the second turbo so now I can monitor the A/F ratio of one bank (one turbo), the other bank (second turbo), or the delta between the two. I'll ask SPE for a good closeup.

 

Here's a shot of the thermostatically controlled Greddy oil cooler. Custom brackets had to be fabbed by SPE for this trick install. HKS BOV can be seen as well.




Turbo time!!






Check out the reflections on all those polished pieces!

 

High res engine bay pics coming soon. These have have to do for now. Enjoy.

Wow, I hate you even though I don't like supras

 

Fcon Vpro ftw! Props for top notch parts.

 

wizard, your max is clean as well bro.Your supra is ridiculous though, super clean, or should i say SUPRA CLEAN!!

 

AWESOME!!!! Subscribed, I knew there was a reason I poked around here from time to time anymore.

 

Well this is the best that I have on my computer.. But the picture doesnt do the color justice at all.. It was very cloudy when i took this so you dont get the full effect, plus it looks darker.. The color is shadow mica (grey) with 4 colors of flake, magenta, royal blue, bronze, and a green.. Idk i just loved that color on my old max, just a suggestion tho.. Lol the more i watch this thread with all your pics the more i agree with MrD ickSE lol great job man.. Very nice build!

 

Strut bar gonna clear those big ol' turbos?

This thread might as well be NSFW...cause that "after" picture of the bay is automobile pornography.

 

While I'm putting the final pics together, I thought I post some pics of the polishing work done.

This pic is about 1/2 the parts that were polished.

Bling Bling!!



I even had two worm clamps polished



Alternator



Cam gear backing plate

 

Veilside intake manifold runners



Pulleys






I had -12 AN fittings welded into the valve covers, grinded down the welds and all polished up.

 

In the following pics, half the parts are chromed (not mine), and half the parts are polished. Can you tell the difference??

These pics illustrate that with the right shop, polishing can look just as good as chrome.

 

i just passed a blue JDM TT one the other day and these things are BEASTS

awesome looking exhaust, should sound good on a 750hp Supra, unlike those Dbags with them on 130hp Civics

 

um.... once i get back from changing my pants...................



oh hell.. i am just gonna sit in it and wait till you post more pics...


very nice my man.... very nice

 

await more pics anf info.

 

Wow that is chrome-tastic!

But I cannot stop thinking about how much its going to cost to do all this to a car and how someone is going to pay for it.... I had never in my life ever wanted to know about anyone's profession this badly! Do you work at AIG? Did you win the lottery?

Glubberflubberlapisticasticalicious
