ur car came out pretty damn insane.....was it a pain to put all the stuff back together?? like dash, wires n all??? cuz it looks challenging

definitely challenging
but as long as you take your time and make sure you don't just try slamming it into place you'll be fine just gotta remember where everything goes lol |
well you got some talent girl...keep it up!
|
why arent there more girls like you???
|

lol i wish there were.. i don't think there's too many girls on this forum, well not many forums at all heh
once the rain stops :rant2: i'll get some more done on the car hopefully and i'll update :D |
i pose another question in reponse to the previous question.. Where can we find them?
|
supra girl land?
does it exist lol |
They must all be at the Z..
|
no, no the real question is... how do they come about? i mean if we can find what makes a girl a supra girl... then we can mass produce them so everyone could have one! mmuuuwaaaahaaaaahaaaa
|

Hey what's that intake manifold ? Custom ? It's forwards like the 2.5tt tube
|
So suprra_girl if thats what you do in your spare time, whats your day job?
Is that a typo in your public profile where it says auto? |
Lethal: yep it's the 1jz manifold welded onto the 7m lower runners ;)
hacks: nope no typo, i'm auto all the way hehe so i thought i'd better update to what i've been up to :) i thought i'd clean up my fan... looks brand new now :D http://www.supra.co.nz/rebuild/fanthumb.jpg in the meantime i've just been adding a few bits to the engine like the vacuum line for the power steering, installing the ignitor bracket (even painted it black just for you miagi :-p, would like you to think you had a part of my car haha) i made a fuse box cover as well... coz my intercooler piping is now going to go in front of the fusebox under the headlight so i had to hide all the wiring just to tidy it up some :) Battery cables are no longer there, was a temporary power measure hehe http://www.supra.co.nz/fuseathumb.jpg http://www.supra.co.nz/fuse2athumb.jpg gotta make the extension pipe for my throttle body so i can move it (no more hitting bonnet issues or fuel rail clearance etc) also battery relocation is now complete just need to get a battery box will be getting the JAZ battery box Rotational molded plastic case is resistant to battery acid. Measures 10-1/2” long x 13” wide and 9-1/2” tall Fits group 24 batteries with top or side post terminals Complete sealed with gasket in lid Vent tube to cary battery gasses outside or vehicle Mounting bracket and all hardware included http://www.vpw.com.au/images/JAZ-700...at%20box_t.jpg so things are slowly coming together :D |
i've got a friend to alter my 1uz tb to suit a 7m tps so i can just bolt it on and have extended the isc and tps wiring to suit their new locations
Finally got a set of 6 rx7 high impedance 550cc injectors, cleaned and flowtested and they've come out awesome Bought and installed a HKS PFC Fcon with 550 chip & 1st gen gcc http://www.supra.co.nz/rebuild/fcon1thumb.jpg http://www.supra.co.nz/rebuild/fcon2thumb.jpg http://www.supra.co.nz/rebuild/fcon3thumb.jpg http://www.supra.co.nz/rebuild/fcon4thumb.jpg Bought an Aeromotive FPR & Aeromotive Gauge & HKS BOV http://www.supra.co.nz/rebuild/bovfprthumb.jpg Buying the Aeromotive fpr fuel line kit from Jeff, cost effective and time effective hehe Found an oil cooler to replace the stock one (twice the size hehe) http://www.supra.co.nz/rebuild/oilcoolerthumb.jpg Using a 1jz power steering cooler, i'm sure they'll be more efficient than the stocker http://www.supra.co.nz/rebuild/1jzpscoolerthumb.jpg Got a Garrett TO4B H Trim Turbo (capable of 500bhp :D) http://supra.co.nz/turbo/turbowg3thumb.jpg Bought some 3" V - Band Clamps for the exhaust and finally got it all welded up last week wahoooooooooooooo http://www.supra.co.nz/rebuild/exhaustthumb.jpg http://www.supra.co.nz/rebuild/exhaust2thumb.jpg Here's my dump hehe http://www.supra.co.nz/rebuild/dumpthumb.jpg And they managed to find a spot between 10 o clock & 2 o clock for the wideband bung ;) http://www.supra.co.nz/rebuild/widebandthumb.jpg and this is my engine currently (with a clean fan LOL) http://www.supra.co.nz/rebuild/engineaugthumb.jpg Next up is to finish the intake/throttlebody and intercooler piping :D |

|

|

Sick Ride...Only Hope my Rebuilding of my MK4 goes as well....lol hopefully takes less then a few months...haah...like to drive it befor frist snow fall...lol
|
Very nice work so far :) I give it 2 thumbs up. I wish there was some nice mk3s around here. Or any nice cars for that matter. Ive never seen any modified car around here aside from 5.0 mustangs and old american cars, Which are still cool anyway. But not enough :(
|
Wow!!!
You are my insperation, honestly. I looked at your car one of the first days that I joined the forum, looked at the pics...then set in my mind to build my supra with some of the stuff I saw on your car, I LOVE that custom manifold.
Now, since I want to do some of the stuff you did....WHERE DID YOU START??? You know I look at my car, and I just stop thinking about it...there are so many choices, so many things that I want to get done, and I just don't know. I have to fix my body first, its.....a little rusted, mostly on the doors, around the area that the trim anchors would be...there are about 3 inch rust spots at each anchor point...along with wheel well rust through, and undercarrage rust...not through though. Then I would like to get a new set of rims, although I COULD do that WHILE the body is getting repaired. Is upgrading the stock turbo good enough, I would like to max my HP out at 580rwhp, but still able to turn up the boost, and make 650RWHP if possible. So could you lend me some advice? |
Hey guys and gals I hate to be the bearer of bad news but did anyone else notice that shes using an SS autochrome manifold? Thats pretty dangerous if you ask me. If you look inside the collector of the manifold it is nasty. where the pipes come together they are all jagged and weld mess all over the place. Not to mention along every weld on the runners if you feel inside the runner there is so much slag inside its unreal. If you can take a pic of the collector and post it up I curious if they are all the same. Dont take this as a flame it is far from that. I am only expressing concern. when I saw those manifolds I thought to myself " Man I wonder what would happen if a piece of metal broke off inside the runner and went into my turbo."
check it out and post a reply Jason Oh almost forgot Awesome Car! Kudos Girl :) |
$$
how much do you think it all cost you for everthing.
and if you had some one do all the engine work what do you think it would cost you. going to do it to my mk3, but dont know how much its going to set me back. my paint is in ok just some bad paint here and there. also i love everthing that you have done to the car. keep posting some more pics |
you and another female in Clublexus.com forum have inspired me. I am no longer letting anyone work on my car(except the engine swap) I am not mechanically inclined but I will try... thanks.. and the car is looking good.
|
thanks for all the comments :D
and no my manifold has not obliterated my turbo ;) it's now been running for about 5 days :D woot! i know it's been a while since i updated but here's a few vids for ya to watch :) YouTube - suprra_girl's car in a state of reconstruction lol YouTube - suprra_girl's mk3 supra in a state of construction ;) YouTube - Suprra_girl's car very nearly finished!!! :D YouTube - Suprra girls supra finally running :D YouTube - suprra_girl's first motorway drive :D |
i love the commentary on the motorway drive,
its like a tour of your city in a supra lol |
The car is now painted and boosting hard!!! Woot!
I'll get a vid of it boosting very very soon and lots of dragstrip footage too hopefully :D New pics coming soon :) |
I feel like a student back in class and you are my kick-*ss teacher! Nice job, the cars lookin' Supralicious!!:yum:
|
Awesome job...love the car...that oil cooler? is that a intercooler radiator from an all trac? if not it looks identical to the one i pulled from my parts car that i will be using as an oil cooler also....great job...hope it performs up to your expectations
|
Thanks ya'll :)
Um.. I have 3 oil coolers, to which are you referring lol. The one on top of my intercooler is an ebay special which i use as my secondary transmission cooler. I have a jza70 power steering cooler as the stock steel tubes just weren't enough for me and the square one is my actual engine oil cooler which is factory from a Mitsubishi Pajero :) The car is definitely living up to my expectations so far :D Didn't expect the no traction thing tho haha... it's still fun tho :) |
WOW just wow!
seriously more women like you would be great. better if they were my age lol and wheres your connection for parts? |
