Update on my build + Injury w/ blood Enjoy!...56k Go have a snack!!!
 

Today I did some work on the engine and finally came around to rotating center section of the Supra turbo, setting the timing and cutting away the cam sprocket cover on the B16 valve cover. I decided I'm going to use a stock LS or B16 manifold and make a top mount out of it (sink trap style) so this is what the turbo will sit like.

Time to get rid of that stupid sprocket cover.

So after I busted 2 diamond cutters it was time to do things by hand. But guess what, no metal hacksaw so I had to turn to the next best thing.

It worked pretty good.

After I cleaned all the aluminum filings off it was time to do the timing. Its so much easier to do this with the engine out of the car.

So here is the beast...Actually this turbo is going to be a pain in the ass to run oil to. I dont know if its visible but the oil feed and return are on the same side right next to each other.Oh well it was free.
So what I'll do is make a custom adapter that has 2 metal lines coming off of it, small one will bend upwards toward the oil feed and the other will be fed to the oil pan through a solid copper pipe.

As you can see the water lines need to be rotated because normall they'd go over the compressor side but now I'll need them running over the hot side and down to the rad hoses.

So here is the Injury part and how it happened. I was trying to get the rubber off the lines and it would not budge so I was cutting it off with a blade when the blade broke in 2 and slipped clipping my hand.

All in all it was a pretty good day I got al ot done. My hand hurts like a bitch and no I did not want to get stiches because I dont want to sit in the ER for 3 hours.

nice cut ;D

Re: Update on my build + Injury w/ blood Enjoy!...56k Go have a snack!!!
 

dam, that was a clean cut. 8)

Re: Update on my build + Injury w/ blood Enjoy!...56k Go have a snack!!!
 

Haha cool cut.

Once wayyy back in the day my friends and I crawled in someone's big camper, we were trying to turn the AC on but the knob was gone. My friend decided to pry one of the other knobs off to put on the on/off one with a utility knife, and slit his thumb open. I tried the same thing and got a pretty nice gash as well. Looked kinda like that one except bigger :P

Yeah, doug684 was bitching about that cam sprocket cover today too.

Re: Update on my build + Injury w/ blood Enjoy!...56k Go have a snack!!!
 

They're so annoying and if you're like me and always tinker with timing then it just gets in the way. Now I wont have to keep pulling my valve cover off like I did last summer.

Re: Update on my build + Injury w/ blood Enjoy!...56k Go have a snack!!!
 

Yeah, whoever I get to put my engine together (unless I read up and find that it's easy) I will probably ask to cut it off. And to think I was bitching about my SOHC because I have to take off some ---- just to get the timing belt covers off...

Re: Update on my build + Injury w/ blood Enjoy!...56k Go have a snack!!!
 

If its not to late, put some crazy glue on that cut.

Re: Update on my build + Injury w/ blood Enjoy!...56k Go have a snack!!!
 

Looks good martin. One of these we gotta get together and do some work on my car when it's warmer out :y

Re: Update on my build + Injury w/ blood Enjoy!...56k Go have a snack!!!
 

Sure thing man once it gets warm we'll hang out more often. I usually just hibernate in the winter.

Re: Update on my build + Injury w/ blood Enjoy!...56k Go have a snack!!!
 

That ---- is toxic lol.

Re: Update on my build + Injury w/ blood Enjoy!...56k Go have a snack!!!
 

you can buy ct26 braided oil line kits for like 115 bucks

Re: Update on my build + Injury w/ blood Enjoy!...56k Go have a snack!!!
 

I have a braided oil line kit, I'll just make the adapter. It will cost me $5 to make.

Re: Update on my build + Injury w/ blood Enjoy!...56k Go have a snack!!!
 

Motor came together nicely eh Martin?

Nice cut, I'll be sure to check out that scar whenever we meet up

You know you wanna spring for a regular T3 turbo so when that ct26 blows you can have an easy swap...

OH CANADA!

Re: Update on my build + Injury w/ blood Enjoy!...56k Go have a snack!!!
 

CT26's dont blow up.

Re: Update on my build + Injury w/ blood Enjoy!...56k Go have a snack!!!
 

Used and abused free one do and will. Is that motor an oem rebuild or does it have some goodies

BUY A MANIFOLD!!! MAKE REAL POWER!!!

Re: Update on my build + Injury w/ blood Enjoy!...56k Go have a snack!!!
 

Drink bleach faggot.




Motor/turbo look good. Sinktraps FTW!!!

Re: Update on my build + Injury w/ blood Enjoy!...56k Go have a snack!!!
 

Any abused turbo will blow up duh. This one happens to come from my girlfriends dad who has 2 supras and knows his ----, never got abused.

Rebuild with Forged rods and pistons other than that everything else is stock. What's wrong with my stock manifold? This is a turbo car not some slow NA car, I dont care much about flow. Stock B16 manifolds are fine for boost.

Re: Update on my build + Injury w/ blood Enjoy!...56k Go have a snack!!!
 

if it hasn`t swell up yet, either glue it on top or tape over it

Re: Update on my build + Injury w/ blood Enjoy!...56k Go have a snack!!!
 

Oh man my whole finger is swollen. I'm pissed off because this ruins my workout schedule for a couple of days.

Re: Update on my build + Injury w/ blood Enjoy!...56k Go have a snack!!!
 

I have $50 that says you don't finish this build in 12 days AND make 200+ whp.

Re: Update on my build + Injury w/ blood Enjoy!...56k Go have a snack!!!
 

Nice Cut man, you must have a good camera cuz i saw alot of meat in that carnage pic....almost made me spit a mouthful of cap'n crunch all over my monitor, if it wasnt so damn tasty, i think i probably would have....I was at the last meet up there...Cant wait to see this build complete.











P.S - Straightblades Own you. O0

Re: Update on my build + Injury w/ blood Enjoy!...56k Go have a snack!!!
 

1. The build is already done

2. I need to wait till its warm to swap it in so no rush

3.It already made close to 200 last year being stock with a T3. I'm aiming for about 280-300 which is doable. At least I'm not pulling hotrex numbers out of my ass and claiming I'm going to make a certain amount.

Re: Update on my build + Injury w/ blood Enjoy!...56k Go have a snack!!!
 

please post pic of your swelling /puss filling wound

Re: Update on my build + Injury w/ blood Enjoy!...56k Go have a snack!!!
 

So it's going to take longer than 12 days? Gimme my $50, biznatch! ;)

Re: Update on my build + Injury w/ blood Enjoy!...56k Go have a snack!!!
 

When I ---- up a finger, I call around and find the Urgent care that is closing the quickest, they will get you in and out right away.
