atta boy Rex. sounds like the worst is over.

the worst part is when those little turbine thingys turn so fast that pressure builds up in your intake system to the point that the ceramic bits of the thingamajig break and your injectors max out and you are forced to feed the habit with rebuilt steel and greater flow rates and then.....

oh shit, sorry, just had a relapse. Doin good Rex, lemme know when yer getting into it and I'll get out there and help ya out.

If my turbos ever go, or my fuel's ever maxed out, it's a big single turbo with JDM 2JZ 440's.

I make contingency plans.

Lookin' good - at this rate it may turn it's own wheels again while i'm still breathing!

[CaptainHenreh]

w00t! Thanks to Sean, Dave, Thayer and Julie for all of their help and humor. Things went surprisingly smooth with relatively few snags. Really the only thing left to do is finish that bastard of a harness, install turbos and intake manifold, hook up all the goofy vacuum lines, water lines, etc; and turn the key!!!

rock on man. never thought i'd see this thread again!

Last night was a lot of fun. The guys got a lot accomplished, I wished I had been able to do more, but I had a softball game. Things we did learn last night were: Do not let Dave Allen eat Taco Bell before resuming work on your car, Do not let Ryan Thayer try to light things on fire in your garage, Do not let Sean start talking about E30's, and I think Rex learned the most important lesson of all, do not buy cars that already have swapped engines that his best friend has blown up.

All in all this was a great night, and if anybody is in the mood to help the rest of the way, just give us a call. The goal is to get this Supra running as soon as possible to make way for the Porsche.

[ScottyB]

make way for the Porsche.

eeeeeexcellent

[Mike]

eeeeeexcellent

i don't get it... so masochistic.

Rex and I got together this morning and did a little more work. Put the intake piping on the turbo's then put the turbo's on the car.

[Mike]

i wanna see it at summit next weekend! get on it!

[Rex4life]

nice work guys

[Ryan T]

Worked on it for a while tonight. Took forever to get the shit hooked to the turbo's and to get the bolts on the turbo. But this picture here should pretty well sum up what the main function of the night was. Sean is absolutely positively the man.

[Mike]

bahahaha

[ScottyB]

spaghetti anyone?

[CaptainHenreh]

bahahaha

eat a d, mike.

[Mike]

i hate wiring... doesn't look like you enjoy it much either. but hey, better you than me! weeeeeeeeee!

[CaptainHenreh]

You can't see it, but I'm giving the wiring harness the finger. Apparently my rage and frustration, expressed through my middle finger is so obscene and powerful that the camera censored itself.
