Looks Cracking Bud

As above i really fancy one of these, but can't find any site in the UK that sells such a thing, anyone know any different? I've looked at some of the Siebon ones, but im set on this style.

Fantastic

Did you manage to get them sent out on Monday mate?

Think he needs a stint in rehab, im worried he has a serious addiction

Welcome,

Payment Sent:thumbs:

I'll take one with a booster as well please, send me a pm and I'll get it paid

Keron breaks them mate

Methil bud, you?

You got yourself a bargain there mate i'll also be bringing another up to Fife on Sunday

Obviously the seller got part of his ad from wiki then, He DOES think its a TT Or sold to him as such

He must think its a TT he's got, lol, is 276HP(206KW;280PS) and 318lb.ft (431N.m) not TT book figures?

If I was going to stray away from the stock look, they are the bits I would be fitting. Looks great.

I'll give it a bash tomorrow. Im thinking that if i wipe of the rear turbo intake pipe, it might make it a bit easier, problem is the bolts are pretty long and might foul on bulkhead. As for my homemade exhaust, heres a video of a flyby today, don't think it sounds to bad,

Direct bolt on mate. Is it a GE or GTE 2J bottom end?

Cheers Pedro, well chuffed with it, need to get the boost controller installed though Wish i'd thought of running the vacuum lines before I put the lump in, the rear turbo is gonna be a pain in the arse to T into!

Going by the surroundings, Fancy house, wee lake at the side etc. that Supra is probably used as they're lawn mower! The sharpened veilside edges providing the cutting action with a large hoover in the middle sucking up the debris!! The big wing is probably used for family get togethers so the younger un's can have somewhere to sit. At least i hope that's what its used for and its not seriously used in public!

What did you blow mate? Turbo or engine? What sort of power where you running with the single? I was under the impression that stock internals were good for around 450-500hp? Weakest link being the W58, you had no issues with the W58 running single? I'd never even contemplated going single until i picked up an R154.

Cheers Mate Had a read of your thread, i think you had just completed your swap when i parked mine up to do mine. Bummer about that dippy woman driver though! But you made a good job of the fix. You got an R154 coming or are you going 6 Speed?

Wee update, been away on holiday for a couple of weeks, so when I got back a couple of days ago decided to get all the finishing touches sorted. Before I left for hols I made up a makeshift Flex pipe to go from the MK3 Downpipe to the MK4 Exhaust, was blowing really bad, but it gave me the chance to get it out on the road to sort out any coolant/boost leaks etc, with any leaks addressed it was good to be locked up ready for me coming home. Anyway I took that off today and welded it up, it sounds so much better, didnt get pictures, my welding is not very neat anyway so doesnt look great, but its stainless and its leak free so thats all that matters. Thursday was spent fitting gauges, and installing the sounds in the boot. Got a nice Pioneer DOuble Din headunit that looks really good with the Supra dash. Still completely undecided what route I will be going with the car if I will keep the sounds or strip and cage it, hence no fancy boot builds. Friday was a case of giving it a right good clean and polish, having been sitting for about 3 months it was a mess. Bodywork is one of the areas that really lets the car down, loads of scrapes scratches dents, tailgate is rusted round the window etc, I think the rear quarters have been painted in the past with a spray can:(. Unfortunately bodywork is one thing i won't touch so will have to be a bodyshop job, im still in two minds about colour, and if to keep the bodywork stock or a kit. Anyway to date since i started the project in Feb, the car has had Sounds installed, Battery relocated to boot, TT clocks fitted. block painted and parts polished, Stage 3 6 Puck Clutch, and Fidanza Flywheel, MK3 supra 3" downpipe, running stock twins at the moment, reading 1.1 bar of boost with the downpipe alone:), Walbro 255 fuel pump, Superspark coil packs with the brackets polished up, Alloy radiator with Twin Fans, Alloy pulleys, Front Mount intercooler, braided fuel lines, a/c deleted, charcoal canister deleted with a braided line dumping under the engine, Custom coolant hoses, Expansion tank removed and replaced with a mini alloy job next to washer bottle, Custom intake pipework, Drivers side loom been tucked up inside the wing (Passenger side, as well as Igniter, and Fuse Box to do), Innovate wideband, EGT gauges, Water and Oil Temp Gauges, Oil Pressure Gauge and Boost Gauge, Facelift Headlights, Indicators and Side Repeaters. There is still loads to do, a lot more polishing to be done, I have a SAFC 2 and a Profec B sitting for it, a few more dress up parts to get, but its driving well just now thats the main thing! The goal now Is R154, Single Turbo, Uprated Injectors, Standalone etc, but for the moment I will run it as is until either the stock twins give way, the W58 falls to bits or I get bored! Im going to try and get pics up, didn't seem to work the last time I tried so I would be grateful if peeps would let me know if they are visible or not.

I don't know pedro, that pipe wasnt on eBay when i bought mine, hence I went for the MK3 job, but looking at the sellers other 1JZ items it looks as though he is selling the same item for all 1JZ engined chassis, which makes me think that maybe its a MK3 item and he is advertising it as fitting a Soarer. They dumps look quality, do you notice the difference? It has to spool a fair bit quicker.

This is the one i should of bought http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Stainless-Steel-Racing-Catless-Exhaust-Downpipe-Toyota-Soarer-JZZ30-1JZGTE-/350548754882?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item519e5581c2

Yes its similar to that one, although to be honest im going to have to do some custom work to make it fit properly. The MK3 supra's Y pipe comes down at a sharper angle, If It continued down it would be coming through the drivers floor, so need to make up roughly a 6" straight piece which will bring the angle back to fit to the MK4 exhaust system. So from that kit its only the Y Piece thats being used, the other piece will need hacked to fit! I would expect it should make a difference when done, definitely looks better than the stock Y

Got the top brace, just was unsure of the bottom. Will get a good look tomorrow when i start dealing with the ancillaries. If needs be i'll hack the ac pump to bits and use what i need from that. Will get pics/vids up as the week progresses!
