Thats what I want to know. I am looking for a cressida to do the same thing to.

Bump for updates. :P


Updated: 8/18/08

Transmission mods
Attachment 15378

Valve body off, b-2 accumulator out.
Attachment 15379

under the valve body
Attachment 15380

After shimming both accumulators
Attachment 15381

Toyota's factory pressure regulator. Too sweet.
Attachment 15382

Me and Hambone putting the motor/trans in the car
Attachment 15383

Im hoping the transmission will hold at least 450hp with these mods.

I think im going to make it an E85 car, since there are now 3 stations in town that sell it. Bosch 1680cc injectors are in my future. That way I can leave the stock 10:1 compression. Should be fun.

Opinions/questions/comments are welcome.

Nice, I like the brown. That manifold looks like an OEM piece!

Re: My ugly Supra build (56Kdontholdyourbreath)
 

Believe it or not, dark brown metallic is a rare color that was only offered in 89. That other brown color supras come in is what is commonly refered to in the toyota world as 'monkey ---- brown'

Stock GE exhaust manifold. It makes me warm and fuzzy inside. Although that may just be the rum. :P

OP: what does your brother drive, considering the pile of goodies there?

nice deltacreeper!

Re: My ugly Supra build (56Kdontholdyourbreath)
 

My brother aka mr2 Guru has a very built mr2 we've been wrenching on for years. Its too heavy and the gears too long but as JD says it has 'chassis voodoo' and is for some reason unknown is faster than it really should be. Its got a 62-1...

I promise the deltagate will have no creep problems. ;)

Eh. I doubt the wifey will let me get another one unless I get rid of the Crx. Such is life.

Re: My ugly Supra build (56Kdontholdyourbreath)
 

Do you think that accumulator mod would work on the A650e transmission found on the is300???

Re: My ugly Supra build (56Kdontholdyourbreath)
 

In theory, it will work on any automagic transmission with accumulators. I could have went crazy and put a rod in place of the springs and have no cushion, but I still wanna drive this thing on a semi-regular basis, and not have future neck problems. I didnt shim the a-1 and d-1 accumulators because it doesnt need to shift as fast in reverse and into 4th.

The faster I can get this thing to shift, and keep it cool at the same time, the more power it will hold and the longer it will last. More pressure=more holding power.

The neck-snapping effects on the rest of the driveline is another story. I really hope I can break the axles on street tires. ;)

I'd assume the AEM system is modular in the sense that it can handle a assload of different types of sensor inputs, ignition pickup styles, and cylinder count. That way they just use the same board, put on a different connector, config it to the respective car - and sell. If I knew I was going to make EMS's for several car makes, I'd definately spend 2-4x to develope it once, than to develope the EMS for each individual car/motor.

I do like that manifold, my friend with an IS300 will flip when he sees that. He wants to turbo it so bad, and since $$$ is his limitation + I've done Honda sinktraps... Too bad it wasn't designed as a fully divided manifold. It would be easy to do that, as it looks like mild steel - the worst part would be dividing the WG tube (split in half, weld plate between halves). Of course that would be pointless if your HX35 isn't a divided style.

I definately would like to see more of this.
