I can get most of the bits already if needed, interesting picture that!

Good luck!

And me!

You took my advice then

I'm toying with getting some manifolds made for it yes, and centre section too, so no cats, free flowing and plenty of noise! - - - Updated - - - I'm sure I saw it somewhere last night when I was doing a bit of research, obviously not!

Its an auto yes, not sure on the manual conversion though as you would need a bell housing or adaptor made. There's bound to be adaptors available I would have thought. There is a bell housing available for the R154 gearbox as that was fitted in the Soarer with the 1UZ engine, so its definately doable. Trying to find a used one would be a mission though I would have thought. - - - Updated - - - Oh and this car is for sale, £6000, lovely car too.

We took the exhaust off last night for a laugh, sounded like a Nascar!

Labour wise about £1000 approx if we have to remove parts from a donor car as well. The worst part is the wiring, you have to splice quite a few wires at the ecu end, time consuring job. Parts wise you just need some electric fans for the radiator, modify the fuel feed with a new pipe and fittings, exhaust has to be shortened and thats about it, everything else fits straight in. You can pick a whole Soarer V8 up for about £1000, less if the bodywork is buggered. This engine, gearbox, loom, ecu, etc cost me £400! Nice conversion for an NA Supra, you can get about 300bhp from fitting manifolds, exhaust and air filter.

We've just completed our first 1UZ-FE conversion and wow, these are nice. Sexual V8 sound, bags of torque, smooth, lightweight, cheap and very tuneable. Its a conversion we can now offer to owners if needed. Looks like it was meant to fit in the Supra, what do you think? http://www.garagewhifbitz.co.uk/images/stories/gw_images/forum pics/96supraengine3.jpg http://www.garagewhifbitz.co.uk/images/stories/gw_images/forum pics/96supraengine2.jpg http://www.garagewhifbitz.co.uk/images/stories/gw_images/forum pics/96supraengine.jpg

I have a uk spec resistor pack if needed?

I can get these if needed, nice mounts...

Oh and they are very good indeed, we've tested them up to 750bhp so far.

Plenty of the Walbro 450's in stock if required. I can organise a group buy if there is enough interest?

Would mine qualify?

Not now the weather is turning no, I've got a nice EFR turbo sitting here waiting to go on though, will be trying that out next year for sure.

Nice one Richard, sounds good, if you need any help....

Some nice bits there, good luck with the build. If you need some pistons and rods give me a shout. Paul

Let me know which ones you need and I'll get you a quote Ted. Email me at [email protected] Thanks Paul

Its coming along mate, the pod I'm making is going to be very nice, be a while yet though but worth the wait.
