No, you're completely wrong. That thing will lag like hell, it's huge.

Little pot calling the pedal black here, as I'm running my 440s at 85% or so. AFRs are fine here, too, but I'm dumping fuel in with an AFC (old school five knob no display model FTW) and my base FP is around 55PSI. 15PSI, BPU on a 60 trim CT.

I was under the impression that the intake would be aimed directly at the firewall with very minimal clearance in a RWD configuration (hence why every guy with a V6 f-body with exhaust doesn't have a blower too)...

Yes and no. The OP made it seem like he thought that XXX size injector would instantly allow him to run XX pounds of boost, and that simply isn't the case. That's what I meant when I said injectors have nothing to do with how much boost you can run Clifton, that's pushing the injectors much too far in my opinion, just asking for a blown motor.

Your injectors have nothing to do with how many pounds of boost you can run. What you need to be concerned with is duty cycle. Stock 7MGTE injectors are 440CC and at stock Supra fuel pressure (40PSI) you'll reach the 80% safe limit before 350rwhp.... I'm running 55PSI base pressure on a RRFPR and I'm still right at 85% DC at 350rwhp.

Any updates?

Mid engine means the motor sits entirely in front of the rear axle and behind the front axle, so not necessarily chopping the car up. With a super tiny motor like that it definitely wouldn't be required.

Always the little stuff that gets you =[

When is this convention? I might make an appearance in the Supra =]

FTFY:tongue:

I'd have recommended the stock supercharger off the supercharged versions, but it puts the intake straight into the firewall IIRC. On an F-Body there isn't enough room to turn it around, you might be able to get creative on a Z car but honestly I'd just go front mount turbo. More powaaaa! If he's going to run any decent sized turbo 250 will be no problems.

The problem with that is some of that stuff is specifically made for Buicks. Intercoolers are general application, you just need to make sure they physically fit on your car. Turbos as always are general application, unless they have a specific, non T based flange. Not to bust your balls or anything, just wanted to clear that up. None (or very little) of that kind of stuff designed for the GNX will work. Now, electronics, anything motor related besides mounts, manifolds, heads, etc should all work no problem. T: Take the stock headers and try and flip them forward, see what you run into clearance issues with. I'd bet you're either going to have to run some funky piping or relocate some accesories to make it work, but I don't know for sure. Either way, can't hurt to try!

Got mine running today! Stupid AFM crapped out and it barely runs now, but it runs! lol

No reason not to, really. You could try grabbing some shorties and flipping them about so they face forward and have a custom y pipe going into your turbo, should be more than enough room. Alternatively, rear mount?

Looking good kid, keep up the good work!

Iron block and head, cast crank rods and pistons I'm assuming? Thing probably weighs 1000lbs, you'd be doing in an endo all the way down the street.

Little stuff always kicks your ass in the end. Mine should have been done today, but the dumb ass I'm working with didn't make sure he had all the vacuum hoses out of the way on his side before we set the head down on the studs so I got to redo my hg today. My motor is finally back in the car, bolt down but not ready to move yet. I'm trusting him to finish it up while I'm at work tomorrow >.> That's pretty cheap for an e-fan, I need one (possibly 2) myself, as my current fan takes up my entire front engine bay area and is a complete biatch to install and remove and work around... Too bad I have to get brakes and probably tires first, then I'll get some 550CC/53lb injectors, then maybe the fans. You gotta be careful now, this last part is where 95% of people start half-assing stuff and you'll regret it sooner or later/

Eagle has good stuff for Supras and SBCs, can't comment on the L series though...

To use the 240SX pistons you have to do some serious boring, correct. This might be useful to you. Engine Design Utility

Same way (adjusting bit) here! No one can drive my car (unless they're using a similar or stronger set up, pretty rare) without killing it every time they try and take off... I'm not even talking hill, I'm talking normal flat road. 3200lb pressure plate with a beefy clutch FTW... Maybe have half an inch of travel between nothing and stalled Don't think any of my aged friends could handle boosting in first or second either... Daily driving that car is a task all in it's own, and I love every minute of it. Fidanza makes great stuff for MkIII Supras, I've never seen one complaint about them. Might be worth a shot!

Younger brothers As a Z owner I thought you'd know that newer is not always better (2JZ>7M in performance, no doubts there, but in terms of soul, 7M wins by leaps and bounds)

Hey, it's lightweight!

I just meant make a flywheel from duct tape, but that sounds more classy, so we'll go with that

Poorly maintained ones previously owned by morons AREN'T! That motor was rebuilt properly to spec by a shop using a factory Toyota bottom end. I don't know, honestly. The same reason people build 2JZ bottom ends? (None at all) Quite sure, dyno sheet and vids from a reputable member. 100+ track passes on the motor since it was rebuilt, all above 500rwhp, the 700 number is fairly recent so I can't comment on longevity just yet! http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=72016 Shouldn't need to log in to read it, as it's in general. I personally know two guys making well over 500rwhp that have been doing it for years with no issues, stock bottom end.

Just duct tape it.
