A little bit of progress. 

Full fmic pipes welded with quick clamps

Testing this in a friends empty Supra chassis to weld everything in position.

Hi, very, very good, this is definitely the best options to the silicone compounds

[Mike2JZ]

I see those types of clamps leak all the time, make sure pipework is perfectly square with each other and smoke test once installed. 

Nice build!

You should be really careful with the precision of the welds, but definitely the way to go to prevent pipes to pop!

Jup!! 100% aware of this problem, smoke test is a must always when going quick clamp. Thanks also for the advice!! 

[Krimi]

Work for today, doing the fuel lines, and Flex fuel sensor in the chassis of the Supra friend to have it all plug and play when we do it on mine!

Mr. Simon itself build the engine!! 

[Krimi]

Changing plans, we go with the vvti manifold to avoid the VVTi solenoid in the front part of the head.

 

Intake done, and tomorrow or thursday we should receive last bits to have everything over the desk to check for leftovers.

[Krimi]

Manifold come back from fabricator, so much more room now, need to modify the DP because now the turbo sits differently.

 

Also now the turbokit is fully done just making Turbo and manifold covers to go thru MOT here in Spain, the inspections are getting worse and worse across the years. So intake to OEM Box just to the inspection and cover for the whole turbo. Also a cover for underside in the making.

I'm interested into your cover you're builidng. I recently also converted to singleturbo and in Austria inspections and police are getting crazy too. I gonna need to cover my turbo as well. A few years ago I saw Supra to sell in germany. The Supra was super inconspicuous. It had over 1000hp but you wouldn't recognize it. He had also covers in the engine bay. I added the only two pictures I saved from the advertisement. May the pictures can help you with the cover build

Hi Danny,

 

Yes I remember this build back in the day and was done by Lee at SRD.

 

My covers are custom, so depends on your turbo, we can make a copy for you or try to find the way to build something that works for you. 

[Krimi]

Final touches.

[Krimi]

Aaaand the engine is done. Hardlines installed, hot parts wrapped and oil return line in place. Some leftovers ordered and ready to start with the new harness.

Such a shame to have to cover that delight on the eyes up.

Looks awesome, so clean, and well put to together.

Hard piping on the waste gate is pretty damn special too

It will be covered only for 30 mins while in MOT hahaha

 

Thanks!! A lot of work to end up with this final product! 

[mattdavies]

How hard was the Hard piping for the turbo and wastegate ? 

Do you have a list of tools and parts ?

All of the hard lines are custom made with an special machine by a company near to the workshop, so I cant give you much details

[Krimi]

Oil feed and oil return in place, water lines also in place and tested

 

This month is going to be busy for me, so we will focus in work to take out the engine, paint, and open to reseal the housings of the V160. And some weekend my friend in charge for the wiring will finish it.

 

I finally change the ECU and the tuner, we go MaxxEcu
