MK3 Supra / 1uzfe / Single Turbo Build Thread

[RedPhoenix]

Its been awhile - Super busy... but stuff it starting to come together.

I got my -12an fitting welded to my oil pan, resealed that. A new-to-me 89+ subframe + poly mounts was installed. Feramic 6 puck solid disk + 2100lbs pressure plate on a steel flywheel was put on. I heat wrapped the manifolds (this sucks since it never wants to lay flat on a non flat surface) but I did my best. Still need to get SS ties for the driver side. Buttoned the W58 up (for the time being while my R154 gets built). Welded a 3.5" (from 4") vband onto the turbo and chamfered the leading edge to the flange. This gives me more room to work with. Using 94-95 Camry COPs with Bosch 211 controllers for the MS3x... Just awaiting some exhaust nuts and I can test fit the real engine in... should be no issue (except maybe the steering linkage... but we shall see).

Enjoy the slew of pictures... no particular order...

Almost no effort to put the engine in... that was a great feeling!






















I wanted to test fit and get everything good in the car before I paint the engine bay. Last thing I want to do is weld all holes shut and need to drill new ones.. or have to hammer the firewall or something... Enjoy for now... more to come

Alright here we go. Ordered 325ft of wire to start on the engine harness...














And I also got a crazy bulk deal on 12an and 10an fittings.... So I started to lay those out...















I ordered connectors for my RX7 injectors... going to buy some rebuild kits and do the rebuild and cleaning on my own... cause thats how I effin role.


Enj0i.

OMG Tons of awesome here......

[TooSloW]

Wow dude, You are my f'n hero! Keep going! this is like some spell binding shit.

[RedPhoenix]

Okay well here is another update. Not too much went on... Learned some stuff.


I rebuilt my injectors (well I still need 2 more to buy) with Mr. Injector parts. I cleaned them out, back flushed it etc... cost me $50 instead of $160. Good alternative IMO.







I bought new injector connectors and coil connectors. (nothing worse than broke ass connectors)



Found that Garret parts bolt on to the HX52. Also I found an "elongated hole" T4 gasket that fits my T4i bolt pattern. Super lucky since I cannot find the gasket for this turbo.



The rest or misc photos of the wiring.

Small little update. I got some 10an nylon hose for my oil stuff. I chose this because its a lot more flexible, easier to put together, and wont destroy my hands with frayed ends. Plus it was on sale




















Also in other news, I have a new rack coming my way and some Brembo rear brakes

[RedPhoenix]

Well I got a steal on a new rack






A summit order came in with 4an, 8an, 12an nylon braided hose, some random fittings and a free 5 hour energy...



Made some lines, one for the cooler is half done




Turbo oil feed, went through the frame rail and I need to add fire sleeving near the turbo for it.





Oil thermostat will probably end up around here.



Brembo Rear calipers, rotors are on the way. Need to get them repowder coated.

Alright well sorry for the long pause between updates. The last month or two of school has gotten really busy and I kept changing my mind with stuff on the Supra... but for now this is what is happening.


Brembo 2 pots for the rears




Wilwood 4 pots for the front ( I am in the middle of making a hybrid of all the kits out there and using Cobra 13" rotors instead of modified C4 Vette rotor like one of the kits do)



Modified the cross beam to allow the radiator to lean forward. I needed extra clearance on for the turbo stuff and I figure if I modify the hood right, it will promote better cooling.







Lots of wiring has been happening. I loomed most of it, but I forsee stuff changing eventually.




MS3X is done, firmware flashed, and reads from the laptop.



Made a mounting surface from 6061 to hold injector 50w resistors and ignition modules (for 2 wire COP).



Made one for the MS3x and PLX Wideband






PLX Gauge mounted in the cig lighter hole



Will be adjusting my alternator for tension with this setup.






Oil cooler is mocked up with zipties until I build brackets. The oil system is completed however.


Got a free 89+ bumper and nose piece.





Stayed Tuned!
