well... open header is a ritual ....

 

Wow. Just read through the whole thing. Great job! Can't wait to see it cleaned up and finished!

 

oh yea that could do it haha

 

eh exhaust is looking like it'll be quite fun... so far i've taken a stock pre cat section off a supra, and if it wasn't for the front diff mount being in the way it would probaly fit with minor modifications, though it didn't and i cut it back so i have roughly six inches off the flange and i've started to create a 3 inch header collector.

i've realized i have a could path's i could take the ehxaust, either down below the trans and around the transfer to stock exhaust, Or squeeze it between the fraim rail, torsion bar, and front driveline/transfer case. just to kick it back towards the stock exhaust..

only reason i thought of that path would be for best ground clearence. as it come's together in the next few day's i'll keep every one updated...

 

Once your done you need to take it up to the chimps and just tear through his yard yellin "7M B****"...some day he may finish his...

 

yeah maybe next time i run up to the chimp meat i'll do the wiring for him ... give him a little motavation...

im hoping to drive the truck to centralia for this year's supra meet

 

so exhaust is just about finished. throttle bracket is found figured out and working LOL..

you do need the 7mge throttle bracket, throttle cable and linkage , it just all bolts up

i also made enough room to fit the rad just about under the front core support, and fit the fan between the motor and rad,

i'll get pictures and more updates soon, i hope to be driving it around tomorrow or the next day!

 

swweeeeet

 

ughh i moved it today a little stoned and being that i had just tightened my exhaust up w/ gasket's it was finally all quite and i thought i had a knock on this free motor i got... I was like ! lol

well got home tonight and some friends stopped by and i relized w/ there help i had a loose egr set up.. stupid egr ...

well im going to time her tomorrow and fill with coolant and do a block test. im pretty sure a bhg is why i got the motor for free.. but i'll find out if i'll be doing the head gasket soon, i have one on the wall any ways.. LOL...

 

got her timed still have a funny noise but it sounds like every time number six fires so im thinking egr...

going to wire up the fan tomorrow and warm her up i hope..


well here's some pictures!





i ended up taking a lot out of the lower rad support lol.. i'll weld some bar in there soon..


i know i know ...



it's rough but it works. and it's my truck!
I'll file it smooth soon.....


the start of the new exhaust!





i'll snap a few more real quick.....

 

off the engine passenger side.



down from there and around the shaft...



better shot



an to the other side..




here's into the cat...




and crap i can't find my power steerin tentioner bracket...




well here she is for now

 

some thing for the eg is leakin.. i hope i didn't break the egr while i installed the motor...

this sucks LOL.. im ready to test drive!

 

egr was definitly broken. the ear's were broke off where it bolts to the lower manifold.. been searching through parts with no luck!

going to call some pick N pull places with hopes to find a donar 7m egr set up.. i'm pretty sure i need one to pass washington state emissions... though i dont ever remember runnin one on my supra...

 

lookin at a strait axle in the morning! front and rear... for three fifty im going to try to seperate...

 

would a three inch spring lift be fine with 35's? front and rear... and does any one know if i should do a inch lift more int he front since im running the I6..?

yes i got me a Straight Axle! .. it has 4.3 gears in it i guess..

 

 

front axle is disassembled and im going to sand blast and paint soon !

 

nice choice lol

 

thanks! i feel for what kind of wheeling is legally availble around here this straight axle would be the best choice, even though i do allot of sand camping and ridding, i do have toy's for that allready LOL..



Well i've realized i had a brake problem with my truck and after filling the res, i found the leak here's a couple from when i fixed the leak.. mobile phone pic;s.. thing has a 3.2mp camera but pics still seem grainy..



cuttin the first of two rusted out lines.. i had thought before i droped my fuel tank that i damaged the lines installing the fuel tank after the efi pump was installed,well i was wrong and the line's rusted out from the inside out from water , previous owner did not bleed the brakes enough.



after you cut the line you need to file/clean the whole out so it'll accept the brake flaring tool.



Than don't forget to install your new locking sleeve before you start your first bubble flare.




there are a couple more step's to flaring your brake lines, after you smash the thimble looking thing into the end of the line you need to remove it and check your work. this is a bubble flare. now you remove your thimble and re-attach the pressin attachment and invert the bubble flair, if you didn't smash,crack, or distort the flair surface and it looks like a factory fittin you did a good job other wise cut if off and try again.. you don't want any leaks !

i now am having bleeding issues, so im assuming the seals in the master went bad since it feels like a upgraded clutch peddle while depressing the brakes.. it just wont get firm no matter who many time's i bleed them.




and here's a couple pic's from gettin stuck last weekend before i even touched my brakes.. so they sucked LOL..








what i got stuck on LOL..




No locker's and 33's just dont cut it! going bigger and lookin for more tractions
