MK3 Supra / 1uzfe / Single Turbo Build Thread
First off I want to thank everyone who has helped me and continues to help with the build, you guys are spectacular. It really shows what true enthusiasts can accomplish.
Now moving on. I purchased this car last year for next to nothing. Came as an original turbo/auto shell with 90K on it. The body is in really good condition despite being 22 years old.
This car originally was going to be a 1uzfe/W58 daily driver... But after putting it all together, it made sense to not stop there. Soon after the idea of single turbo became apparent.
As the car currently sits, before I tear it apart again:
1uzfe w/ stock ecu
W58
Quantum-Auto manual swap kit
Crown Vic (BBS) Wheels
Tokico Illumina front/blown stock rears - this is how I picked it up as
H&R springs
ABS Delete
JVTR 3 row radiator
unfinished dart-izumi exhaust

Alright, so here is how I picked up the car... Got it for $200, clean straight shell, but it obviously has been tampered with in the past. I met 2 of the previous owners (excluding the guy I bought it from).... It had some HKS goodies on it at one time, turbo timer... etc... It was obvious that this car was loved by someone at one time. But when i got it, it was apparent that it was in the middle of being parted out or something lol.
Anyways, First day.
Well since it came with some super skinny steelies and dry rotted tires... I picked up some Crown Vic wheels... which are made by BBS if you didnt know.
Dont remember the order I did the following, but I then picked up a 1uzfe, W58, Painted the engine bay, put on H&R's (it came with intrax), made engine mounts... etc... I will let the pics do the talking. Also got the JVTR radiator from one of the previous owners of the car... How funny is that.

After some hammer action (pre89 issue) to the firewall, subframe, and my brain, I got it to fit perfect. These pics will show a progression from when it went it, cleaning up the wiring and whatnot. And a small video of how it sits right now, before the surgery continues...
