Toysrme Posted November 28, 2005 Author Share Posted November 28, 2005 $164.69 is the running total this time around. (Without shipping) but I bought a couple of little tools & some odd stuff I needed also. A 9/16"-18 SAE Tap & some hose barbs to make the remeote filter & some 1/8" fuel/oil hose to feed the turbo. Ebay is cool. I need to make a new exhaust too. I guess that's gonna be like the header project. On a back-burner until after everything else is done. But ya, pretty cheap. Ya, you can get about anything put into the compressor section & just have the turbine clipped. I'm staying stock, less I still feel like keeping the car next spring & building an A/T. The stock CT-26 off a supra will run about 310-320 horsepower @ stock 5psi. 10psi puts out 340-345. That's really all the transmission will hold without a rebuild & more than it can take if you beat on it. We'll have to see how that goes.

Icemaninlv Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 stock supra should put out 6 psi, also if you need the elbow for the exhaust portion of the turbo I think alamomotorsports.com has them. 3" elbow here is the link http://www.alamomotorsports.com/productsby...?/indexcat.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toysrme Posted November 29, 2005 Author Share Posted November 29, 2005 Thanks! I've got about 10' of pipe from lowes sitting outside by the car waiting to be cut up & a couple of mandrel bends left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toysrme Posted November 29, 2005 Author Share Posted November 29, 2005 Don't worry about the HG's. The heads are flat & have a nice coarse texture to it to grab the gaskets. I also put a little texture on the heads as well after I cleaned them up. The compression ratio should be up around 9.8-9.89 so we all figured. The gaskets are rated to a CR of 12. 5psi should work out into the low 12 range. You'll have to excuse me because I've bought & compared lots of hardware on the engine for the last year, so I may be off size wise. The stock head bolts are M10-1.25 12 Pointed 12mm hex head. My nut & bolt house drives nothing but Toyota's & they sell tons of hardware to car people. They figure all the hardware Toyota uses on their engines is just a grade 8.8 (30ft-lb). I drilled & tapped them & stuck in some M14-1.5 12 pointed 12mm hex heads in a grade 12.9 (>150ft-lb) a couple weeks ago. :D For a 3vz-fe Stock is 25ft-lb + 2x 90* turns. I've got them on @ 50ft-lb. (Stopping @ 25, 37 & 50) In the last few days I ordered 40 new camshaft bearing cap bolts & re-tapped them. Right now the plan is to drive like it is. If & when I do more than 5psi I'll take the valve covers back off to check how the new cam bolts are doing & then I'll torque them back up to atleast 100ft-lb. (You guys don't want to begin to know the effort in doing that. It's hard work!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toysrme Posted November 30, 2005 Author Share Posted November 30, 2005 Correction grasshopper. Finished modding the transmission last week! The army should let you get on AIM more. Make them give you a CP with an AIM connection. ;) It's back together =) Ofcorse I finished it & put the first 5 quarts of new fluid in after using a half tube of Ultra Black RTV to seal the pan. I look down & see one metal line (you can't see it in any of my pics) laying on the ground & this one check ball that kept falling out that i THOUGHT i had in there for the last time! hahahahahahahahahahaha Hey atleast it was only $5-5q walmart fluid. I wound up re-tapping half the holes & running half the bolts through a die to get them to go back in without cross-threading. Hah that's what happens when it's dark I guess!

Toysrme Posted December 2, 2005 Author Share Posted December 2, 2005 No man that's where you're wrong! Ship it in an easily damaged mode of transportation & pay your $1-5 for insurance! It's official... Radiator's gotta go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
