MK4 Supra, 1UZ tt and T56

[gloverman]

We just have plates cut when we want them. Give the guys the design and they get cut out. We have had alot of different ones done no problem - cheers

 

[em_knaps]

hey what do you normally get charged for a pair of 1uz flanges and do you supply the file, and....

is it a nice shape and not profile cut from a gasket??


cheers,
Daniel.

Flange plate pics,

they are a thing of beauty.....



i have the next few weeks off so i hope to all but finish the exhaust manifolds.
will post progress pics for fred.

 

[em_knaps]

after a few days of getting out of bed at 10am cos im on holiday.....

progress report

left side headers mostly done
right side done as much as i can with engine in the car...



using tape to mock up bends....



left side header mostly done.....



hope to have allot more done in the next few days, so i can start on the collectors, which are going to be a fiddle.

weight is an issue but they are not to bad so far.
a good rigorous sandblasting may lighten them slightly.

so far so good.........

Daniel.

I dont mind a little weight in headers, at least they wont blow out with some heat!

More pics! No PS pump there?

 

[em_knaps]

PS pump is not a priority,
at the worst i will use an MR2 electric PS pump.

Yes, i am not concerned about these header's failing due to heat.

 

[em_knaps]

Got the headers all in place, pipes welded to the flange and to each other.

will refit the engine to the car before i set the turbo flanges in place with a collecter, just to be sure they are in the right place....

LHS





no more progress for a while, will be continuing my holiday as an actual holiday.

Cheers,
Daniel.

YES.. Very nice I like the trans adapter. I would love to have much more detail on that.

Update:

Engine is back in the car after i had the pants off the engine to plumb the turbo oil return lines:



I had the LHS side return foul the oil pump pickup, but after a small amount of machining its now has clearance:






I chose army navy fittings for ease of installation and cos the have a nice internal radius, function within form! i like it.

i went with -12 which is 3/4 ID hose im sure i could have used smaller hose but the angle of the return line is far from verticle so i figure the large hose size will hopefully compensate for this.



T56 gearbox mount fabrication next:







Crank trigger tooth removal for use with Megasquirt and a 12:1 missing tooth setup:



Have pechased a bosch 044 pump and some mitsi VR4 injectors (450cc)

the mitsi injectors are a perfect fit in the 1UZ fuel rails and manifold. but are a bosch style plug and are low impedance.

Next is to finish the manifolds and integrate the wastegates into them.
then i will make the down pipes and attempt to clear the power steer and the oil return.

wish me luck

Daniel.

Where has the time gone?

to be honest i was busy preparing my hilux for an annual 4x4 trip.

some progress has been made, mostly the wiring and ignition, manifold have not been finished due to the radiator taking so long to turn up as ididnt want to position turbos without the radiator having appropriate clearance.

OEM dissy have been binned in favor of wasted spark in the form of subaru coils and ignitors. the coils of which are mounted on the front and rear of the inlet manifold.







massively oversized radiator.



doesnt fit so well dispite being made for the car by some one who possibly has never seen one before.

"Skank whistle"



intercooler mounted nearly



wiring in progress...



wiring all but finished



have had a flywheel for my tilton clutch built to my spec so that i do not need to thin my adapter plate or bellhousing to get the last clutch plate sitting on the spline properly

which is a massive pain in the arse avoided.

am off to thrash the pants off my citroen now,

hopefully in another 3 months the supra will be at least running.

wish me luck.....

Daniel.

 

[fredio54]

Good luck, may the force be with you frenchy boy!

 

[Vander]

Long & steady always wins the race, keep up the good work!

 

[Pro]

loving this thread - good to see someone else using the same header pipe size as me and slotting INSIDE the port cutout.

i'm watching with earnest! keep it up!

 

[mshawari1]

Great job !!!

Good luck, what is the injectors you use ?

Give us more information about the wiring with that MS1​

i believe it was the Mitsusishi VR4 450cc...?

UPDATE:

progress on manifold has been made.
my work even paid me to work on them for a few hours, very nice of them, even if they were unaware of it.



I made makeshift brackets to hold the turbo flanges in place while i fabricated the collector.




left side collector and westgate mount finished.



right side collector finished, wastegate needs to be mounted still.







custom made clutch flywheel to suit the spacing needs of my adapter plate.

more progress soon.
i need to get the exhaust finished to behind the engine so that i can remove the engine and fab an alt and PS mount. i may be able to use the original alt, depends on how bad the angle of entry is for the turbo oil return....

time for some sleep.

 

[fredio54]

Love the collector LOVE the flywheel!!! SO mint!

Keep it up, smoke will be pouring from West Auckland soon.

Fred.

 

[JustenGT8]

Looking good mate but tight!! I can see lots of thermal coatings in your future

 

[em_knaps]

More header progress.....

LHS all but complete:














Will start on the RHS this weekend, should have it finished by the end of the week.
