_Shane_ Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Well i said its time to start a little project thread on my supra. As most of you know i sold on my R34GTR and got myself another Supra This supra is a 1995 Jap spec with a bn sports kit and veilside wheels, 6 speed box and 96k klms on the clock Car came with coilovers, fmic, exhaust, downpipe / decat etc Apexi avcr, neo and rsm and oil pressure gauge Will try to update this as much as possible The aim is hopfully 550-600 bhp Car will be having work carried out by SSI up northern Ireland and I will be asking Ryan G to map it Stock cloth seats came out first along with the carpet as i wanted to dye the carpet black. Dash panels out to make way for the carbon ones that i got from Dave on here (thanks mate) Bit of a disaster removing the driver seat as the electric motor was broken and the seat would not slide forward so i was unable to get at the back 2 seat bolts, eventually got it sorted but it was a total pain in the a$$ headlights removed as they are going to be sent for a refurb as the plastic is a little dull carpets were dyed and i must say i am very very pleased with how they turned out completely finishes off the interior of the car now while the carpets were out i rewired all the apexi gauges and re-routed the cabling in behind the dash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Shane_ Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 ***Car was dropped of with Colin & Marty @ SSI last Wednesday for the work to commence *** All interior is back in and im very happy with the new look Fuel System purchased form Ryan G WOTM customised fuel hanger Twin Walbro fuel pumps Fully custom fuel pump wiring (With individual fuses and ECU controlled relays) Aeroquip Startlite -6 hose inside tank fuel. Aeroquip fuel hanger bulkhead fittings Customised fuel tank cover Aeroquip -8 racing hose fuel feed Aeroquip fuel filter Jiffy-tite -8 dry break fuel filter fittings Twin Aeroquip -6 racing hose fuel rail feeds Power House Racing fuel rail Siemens 870cc cleaned and balanced low impedance injectors Aeroquip -6 racing hose fuel central fuel return Aeroquip fuel pressure regulator A-TEK -2 fuel pressure reference hose Jiffy-tite -6 dry break fuel pressure regulator fittings Aeroquip -6 racing hose fuel return hose Aeroquip Startilite -6 fuel tank breather hose. Custom made carbon fibre fuel hose mounting brackets. Customised fuel tank cover With ATek quick release fittings. Make fitting easy Even has carbon brackets for fuel lines pic of the what the turbo kit looks like from PHR website and few comments on what they say about the kit http://www.mvpmotorsports.com/Merchant//catalog/jdm/t/supramkiv/p/phr/phrtk5s.jpg The kit includes: Polished PHR Turbocharger HKS Genuine (not a knock-off like used in the Sound Performance or Boost Logic kits) Stainless Steel Tubular 50mm Single Turbo Header HKS GT Series Wastegate High-temp heat coating on the manifold, downpipe, midpipe, turbo exhaust housing, and dump tube 3" Steel Downpipe, Dump Tube, & 3" Midpipe (all heat coated). The Downpipe & Midpipe all have 3" V-bands making installation a breeze. All other brands of turbo kits use (much) cheaper flanges which always have a hard time matching up perfectly. A V-Band is circular allowing you to rotate the Downpipe in virtually any direction necessary which makes everything much easier, cleaner, and does not put stress on your turbo exhaust housing Custom made (not generic) & powder coated intercooler piping specific to your intercooler. Also this is the only piping on the market that goes direct from your FMIC to your Turbo without going through the fender. What this means to you is it is easier to install and more importantly a more direct route with less bends, thus making more power 4" Mandrel Bent Air Intake Piping, Powder Coated 4" K&N Air Intake All Stainless Steel Teflon Braided Lines with Earl's Fittings All Fittings, Hoses, Bolts, Filters, etc. Included http://www.mvpmotorsports.com/Merchant/phr_turbo1.jpg new rad fitted before we went up north, car running perfectly. Also fitted new blue samco hose kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
