Supra is about 98%done Minus I/C piping

 

^ hurry up I want to make a vid beating a supra, lol

btw, the rtv and zip ties worked and I picked up 2 psi. Next I am going to fix the leak at the iacv and get this reducer coupler welded they are not big leaks but figure they are go for about 1-2psi

 

nice Tom

 

Thanks

BTW, hooked up the scan tool to the max and made a couple part and wot pulls and he are the results

part throttle timing in boost was around 20-22
wot throttle timing in boost was around 18-20
timing at idle and while in vac were basicly stock

 

well I have been running on a quick street tune to keep my a/f from pegging the gauge and get it into the mid to low 10's. I had some free time and retuned the car to 11.1-11.6 wot, my goal is 11.3-11.5 and started on the part throttle tune. Looking to get that in the 11.5-11.8 range

 

well I was planning to hit the track on the 3rd but my car had other plans and wented to replace a 2.5-3inch coupler with a 2.5-3inch ic pipe and have it welded in since it would not stop leaking.

well on my way to work my rear tire blew out and the tread came off the rim so I put a dough nut on to get to work and after work on my way to the stop my intercooler bolts came off and part of the ic got caught under the car and ***'d up. It seems to hold boost but my gauge and wg both run to the turbo and can't tell how much it's leaking.

I was able to get 1 bolt back in and went to the shop anyway and got the pipe welded and the owner say he can weld in a new core if the tanks did not get twisted but not my car idles weird sometimes and stalls when coming to a stop so I am going to just order a new intercooler and check everything post maf for leaks, hoping something came loose when the ic fell

I got a tire today will order the ic this week, hopefully fix the stalling issue and hit the track by the end of month.

 

checked everything out, removed the iacv turned the idle up to 700rpms. I did notice one of my couplers were damaged when the ic fell, couldn't tell if leaks as I didn't do a boost leak test but I'll just replace it along with the ic.

Next I'll pull the plugs and check, clean and regap them since I have not pulled them since the car was turbo'd

 

btw Jeeve's car is running

 

ok so it appears the intercooler is damaged so bad that the car can not get enough air when not in boost and dies at low rpms. I disconnected the maf from the charge pipe and drove the car n/a and everything seems to be fine.

I am going to still pull the plugs and order a new intercooler and coupler this week and go from there.

 

Well I was going to the track today and see what me G35 would do but it poured down raining when I was about 5mins away.

So I am just going to order a intercooler and weather pending take the maxima next week. I am going to set the boost at 10-12psi at the intake manifold and hope for the best. Right now I am only running 11-12psi depending on the weather at the turbo

 

Got my intercooler today, will try to install it tomorrow if not it will be in by this weekend and the track next week

 

Slacking son! lol jk

What size intercooler did you go with?

 

I bought the same one I had before since my intercooler pipes are already welded up for it.

The bad part is I took the bumper off to make the install easier and got to looking at my rad support and its really bad. The front of the cross member is not even attached anymore.

I am still going to the track but will just launch and shift really soft just to get a slip.

 

Damn, no good. becareful with that.

 

yikes i'd be careful with that too. hate to hear about your engine falling out of your car...

 

^ yeah it sucks cause it's alot worst then I thought and has me alittle worried ^

I am going to try an weld it till I figure out my next move. I have been thinking about parting out the car and getting a clean 95 auto and swap everything over along with a tc, vb job and lsd tranny or just park the car and install a new rad support over the winter

 

Get the 95 auto. That car with your motor setup would be badass!

 

+1

with HD2 Transgo

 

switch to auto? blah. fix the 5spd car.

 

sick of breaking tranny's, plus around here I can get a auto tranny for like 1-200 easy. the 5-speed is fun thou but I am planing to build a track only car so auto is a must

teaser pic of the rad support

 

Wow same thing happened to my girls car. Its been parked since wednesday. We're looking for another 4th gen with a good body. It sucks.

 

hmm, i see

 

Auto's =

 

Tom this is friends UGLY I KNOW


Gonna redo it with square tubing... Jeeve did his also.. Ask him

 

^ ok his got me beat ^

I was planning to use angle iron

 

Ha I wish ours looked that good.

 

I fixed mine with square tubing of the proper dimensions and it works great. It's way more rigid than it was before, and that **** won't rust out for 40 years. Probably way less work than replacing the whole support too.

 

Is there a site or write up you used to do yours? Is it just cut the old piece out and weld the new peice in?

 

yea thats what im gonna do to his.. Bascially cut out the old peice. Measure up square tubing reinforce a few spots and weld it in.. DOing the whole rad support yourself seems like a *****

 

Same thing I did pretty much. I just cut it out where it starts arching on the sides, got thick square tubing, slide it on the inside of the existing support, welded it in, made some braces to spread out the load, welded the lower radiator brackets on, cut holes for the condenser, POR15, all done Pics..

 

Yeah, I am planning to do the samething this winter but till then I am just going to order a nwp tq link to get by

 

popped my motor, I maybe parting out the car

edit: looking for a dek

 

Damn man, that sucks to hear!

What happened to the motor? Rod?

 

Yeah reving to 7k in 4th and 5th gear @ 8psi = rattle can

One cool thing is before it popped I gain 32mph between the 1/8 to the 1/4 mile

And I found a dek today with 77k miles but I may just call it quits and partout the car, finish my V8 S10, G35 and buy a winter/tow vehicle

 

I wish I had the chance to have multiple projects, specially a v8 s10 (always been a fan of those), but really sucks to hear this man. This is one reason why I have built my car to be a low revving car even with my built motor, high rpms always put stress on lots of parts. Did you make it to the end of the 1/4 at WOT? or you let off?, in other words, what were your times?

 

Naw, 14.0 @ 107

I won't be reving to 72k with the next motor if there is a next motor, weeeeell maybe not all the time

This motor didn't owe me anything, I've been beating it for 2years with a extended rev limiter, nitrous and boost

 

I launched at around 1200, granny shifted on my 18inch rims and street tires due to my cross member only being connected by the rear two bolts with a blazing 2.3 60ft

One good thing is I was able to drive the car 65miles back home from the track

 

Trap speed is pretty decent!

 

I was planning to bring home a 115mph trap but things didn't work out

 

It will happen! Just got to get everything working properly.
