Yeah i love lobsterback bends. A pity you'll want to wrap than DP and you won't be able to see it.

I have had better luck (personally) doing pie cuts then cutting bent tubing to get what I want, lol

Yeah very shameful

This is a 4 1/2" donut bend..

[Supra967]

donut all the way. Lobster looks awesome but a lot of effort for the same result. I wouldn't mind making a heat shield similar to a two stroke dirt bike for looks though...

Are you going over or under the ps rack with the dump pipe?

Yeah its a lot of effort, but the bend radius is tighter than what I could find for 3.5 bends.. so that is mainly the reason I did it...

Alright here we go. Ordered 325ft of wire to start on the engine harness...









And I also got a crazy bulk deal on 12an and 10an fittings.... So I started to lay those out...









I ordered connectors for my RX7 injectors... going to buy some rebuild kits and do the rebuild and cleaning on my own... cause thats how I effin role.

Enj0i.

 

[poorsupra]

excellent job on the downpipe

 

[BlackUZZ31]

hope thats Tefzel wire!

 

[RedPhoenix]

Okay well here is another update. Not too much went on... Learned some stuff.

I rebuilt my injectors (well I still need 2 more to buy) with Mr. Injector parts. I cleaned them out, back flushed it etc... cost me $50 instead of $160. Good alternative IMO.





I bought new injector connectors and coil connectors. (nothing worse than broke ass connectors)


Found that Garret parts bolt on to the HX52. Also I found an "elongated hole" T4 gasket that fits my T4i bolt pattern. Super lucky since I cannot find the gasket for this turbo.


The rest or misc photos of the wiring.

Small little update. I got some 10an nylon hose for my oil stuff. I chose this because its a lot more flexible, easier to put together, and wont destroy my hands with frayed ends. Plus it was on sale












Also in other news, I have a new rack coming my way and some Brembo rear brakes

 

[stevechumo]

I like nylon braided hose more than ss braided hose. It's easier to work with.

 

[4U2QUIK]

yeah, ss lines are a pain in the fingers.

Absolutely!

Got more done today than I planned! Stitched welded a good portion of the car.

I just started your thread. Did you do that welding to stiffen the chasis? Assuming so, how do you like it if you have done it before?

 

[RedPhoenix]

Never did it to any of my cars, but always heard good results.

 

[RedPhoenix]

Well I got a steal on a new rack




A summit order came in with 4an, 8an, 12an nylon braided hose, some random fittings and a free 5 hour energy...


Made some lines, one for the cooler is half done



Turbo oil feed, went through the frame rail and I need to add fire sleeving near the turbo for it.




Oil thermostat will probably end up around here.


Brembo Rear calipers, rotors are on the way. Need to get them repowder coated.



Current 3/5/12

Good to see your doing most the work yourself..
Top work!!

 

[RedPhoenix]

Its sad to look at the dates when I last posted. As always we all get busy and that is the story here. Been working on the wiring and I keep getting discouraged because I was not satisfied with all the stock junk laying around. So I ordered a whole body rewire kit (common for hot rods) and I gutted all the wiring out of the Supra.

For the engine


Whole lot of WTF!


Interior dash wiring. I left the wires that travel to the rear of the car for now... oh and the door wiring. The rest of the wires on the driver seat are for headlight retractors, power mirrors, wipers, etc... all the needed stuff.



Enjoy! I promise I am back in action to work on this thing.

 

[4U2QUIK]

Holy back from the dead thread! Good to see you're back at it again.
