I got 8 used for $50 a each

Nice work mate, this should come out well. Where did you mount the PS pump? I was going to put my alternator where the AC compressor usually sits and drop the ps pump down. I was recently tossing up whether to leave out PS all together and leave the alt for simplicity, but forgot about the...

I'll have to recheck mine then. I'm sure the supra convertor didn't want to bolt to the UZ flex plate. Maybe I didn't look hard enough...

Haha, yeah I assumed you wouldn't be able to use something like that. Pipe is 1.5in at the head stepped down to 1.25in shortly after. It was more to say you can run two or three runners fairly tight against the head then angle down around your engine mount. It doesn't look like it'd be...

Must be super tight, any pics of engine bay clearance? That top one looks like nothing was safe from compromise :) Depends on what your after, but i think if you give up a couple of luxuries you could get four runners in there. This is my unfinished set of front exiting headers for a...

It's a pretty solid bar in the supra, over 20mm from memory.

don't know if this helps.... the 7M alternator is physically a bit small than the UZ alt and has similar (or the same, i can't remember) mountings. They're only 80 or 90 amps but you can get a 165 amp version on ebay if you need the juice.

I've used the Kaowool thermal blanket on my turbo 7M. We use it to insulate kilns that run at 700 degrees C for hours at a time. A 100mm layer will keep the outside of the kiln at room temp. i wrapped the stock 7M mani completely and covered it in stainless shields, and also wrapped the...

How often? Something you can pass on? Once I finish all my fab work I'm looking for a stocker to get the car regoed.

looks very much like the factory intake on my L701 handi van, except the handi has a plenum of sorts at the end instead of the merge piece. Makes incredible down low power for a 1L, but of course nothing up top. Perhaps no place on a big torquie V8?

Possible to line the cams up on the wrong cycle with these engines?

Mock up of where mine is going to go. Waiting for exhaust manifold to be finished as it goes over the top. http://www.supraforums.com.au/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=43845

i reckon its a pretty good effort where most people wouldn't even bother. Few things to note for next time out of it, and definitely watch the heat, that is very close to the cam cover there. Drive it around, if spool is so bad you want to shoot yourself in the face, take them off and start...

hmmm, not sure how 'free' it would be with all that cutting and welding. Certainly get some welding practice out of it :)

definitely something to remember, especially on a budget build. Spend more money on the fuel system or a piggy back. Years ago I built some v8 manifolds out of scrap pipe worse than most stock castings you'd see and managed to open the waste gate at a very reasonable RPM. One question...

:eek: Too many forums to keep up with. Those manifolds look awesome, dwarfing a UZ motor with a turbo is no easy task either.

this looks great, well done. I'm doing something very similar, but my turbos aren't quite so big :( I take it you're running the intake behing the shock towers? I looked into those barrel coolers but they seemed too big to fit there without bonnet issues. I've chopped up a small air/air...
