Guest jhepburn Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 very very nice wow! Stunner. Plenty left in that! One of my most favorite Supras ever!!! Great build and stunning result! Gotta love white hardtop with facelift interior That is one beautiful Supra you have there That is very very nice. Stunning! Can't even describe how awesome this is... Wish i had the resources to own\build something like this Alot of updates in a short period (for us )...awesome project! Loving the wheels and that RMR intake manifold! Wow, immense Lovely car dude. Great car mate. Congrats. Thanks everyone. It's been a fun build. Very nice, any info/pictures on what machining work they did to the head to get the 1/2" studs to work? I don't remember if this is before or after the head was re-machined for the 1/2" hardware. Basically, the cast material circled in red between the valve retainer and where the stud would go had to be reamed out by .20". I had to take a 12-point socket in a lathe down by .15" as well. If I was going to do it over again I would just go 5/8" L19's. 1/2" studs are a PITA! http://home.comcast.net/~jeremy.hepburn/head_done.jpg Nice build.. Will you bring it to TX2K12? Possibly. I'll have to see how my schedule is at that time. One word, excellent. That looks great. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jhepburn Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Well, I fixed the misfire by installing brand new OEM coil packs. Cranked the boost to 30psi - the car made 980WHP. Then, I spun a bearing. Errrrr! Pic showing oil from filter in a ziplock bag: 68.6 miles on this engine. 3rd oil change. Car wasn't running too rich/lean, no signs of detonation and the AEM logs looked perfect. I think a crappy machinist is to blame. I'll have more info later this week once I figure out what caused the failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
