Mk4 toyota supra cummins diesel build

4 minute(s) of a 127 minute read

a single 3" 90 bend will cost me around £22 would need a fair few and straight sections to join them all, or i can get a 3 meter length of 3" ali tubing for £30 to my door so it works out alot cheaper, more work but i but the pies on a short and long radius so i can change and tweak it as i go


i do have some cheap tools that are pretty good and use daily, best one i would say is a set of kennedy spanners as there slim in width so perfect to use the open end on caliper sliders, i went through a stage of buying blue point spanner sets for some unknown reason set still in the box under a band 4? years now


got the selector welded on today with abit of extra weld on the lever slots, welded and cut back to suite, ordered new bushes gaskets and springs for it, bad day at work didnt stay over too long (if it needed to come off it snapped)

42/44mm higher pressure rad cap (as i want the other to open)  stant racing normally pretty costly, but gates make them and can get them for just over a tenner (part number below)

car stays outside during the days atm due to being flat out in work, nice dint in the door...

turbo pipes and intake all done, just got to flare the ends then powdercoat them
hotside upper

hotside lower

cold side lower

intake/coldside upper

managed to get quite the bulge to start and try to clear the intake, in the end i split the skin after getting it out by about 40mm

removed and painted/sealed upper and lower water outlets and other brackets then put them on for good

getting there, few cables starting to go in 

intake checked to make sure it still fits

fluidampr front pulley, arp bolts and barring tool  for suture proofing

pulley etc on, brackets painted sealed and new bolts all in place for good, swapped over oil temp + pressure while doing other little jobs like clip placements touch ups etc

yeah nah curse word will put a power bulge over it 

fettled ages with the throttle cable to run it mostly out of site, tiny little bracket to hold it, made from a universal kit and factory cable ends with some bodging and agri spec spray jobby of cover it all 

should get my propshaft back tomorrow and hopefully new bushes and gaskets for the selector
