installed distributer , coil & igniter and altenator into the truck. im still pondering the idea of a battery relocation to the other side..or just run a longer starter lead.
i should be picking up a mixed set of 33'sx12.50's for free

 

looks like a fantastic project. glad to see a beat up old toy getting some TLC

 

awesome project.

 

thanks guys, i cant wait to drive it in 4wd and compair it to my friend's stock truck

 

That is so the screensaver from the late 90's. Fantastic.

 

Quite the build up! can't wait to see the finished product.

Welcome to YotaTech.

 

thanks guys!


found my mk3 rad out of old 87 dd i parked 2 year's ago, have a new engine (1jz w/ 2jz turbos ) for that car just haven't started the project.

so tomorrow morning, if i not ridding my friends new R6 around all morning, plan to mock up my rad, and heater core hoses hopoing to make some good progress.

 

herei is how you can tell what gear you have

comon man it's been 2 days this is a cliff hanger.

 

Looking good, hopefully I will get around to pulling my 22re this weekend. I'll use your good progress as motivation to go ahead and dig into my 7m swap.

 

sorry guy's i've been waiting for some parts :p


i picked up a set of mixed match'ed 33's just to get the truck sittin up again.

also wrapped up my money i had for the truck in purchasing a new tranny for a 92 accord i pick up to flip. i've sat on this car now for 6-10 months while looking for a 5spd tranny , yeah so long i forgot how long. so when i found it instead of buying a new starter i needed bought a tranny... yeah stupid me.

i lucked out though, i have a few supra' buddies in town and i i managed to find a used starter that im picking up tomorrow for 20 bucks. i'll re-build it and install, or atleast clean it up so it's reliable. also need to measure for a new positive batterie cable, or re-locate the batterie, thats option two though.


i have also dove into the wiring, so far i have decided to leave the ecu in the engine bay, i figured 100-150 degree's shouldn't kill the ecu. i plan on building a box to install it into.
i have extended the wire's i need from b1 to about 3 feet long, so i can route them to power and ground easier.

i also have a fuel pump set up i was going to use in my 82 supra, that had an external pump, and i was switching it to intank.

im thinking i might attemp to switch the pump over to the truck's hanger , it's a walbro i bought off e-bay so should be more then enough to serv for the n/a motor. that and it would solve the issue i have of not having a fuel pump or money to spend on it at the moment.



i still need to get p/s line's made so i can use the 7m pump in the stock location. then i will bolt the stock truck resivor to the passenger fender.

i did find a supra radiator that i will fit in. i have tomorrow and the next day off from work and brought the truck back over from storage so after i pick up the starter in the morning' i'll get some good work done and post some new pictrues

 

wow, you're insane. how does the mkii feel with that much power to it?

mine's got like 170 and it's pretty nutty. i was thinking of taking it to 300 max. (5m though)

 

well , after a 1/4 throttle in first she spins, half throttle in second, and depending on surface of road i spin in third under full throttle,

i have the car running 13.00 with a 2.3 sixty foot spinning drag radials.



it's a pretty fun car to drive around every day, i skrew with built evo's and sti's all the time, and i have messed' with a 911 turbo porche owner once on the freeway, 60-140 and he couldn't shake me. though the corner we entered he took at 110-120 and i only took at 90 or so.
other then that i drift the car when my budget allows me to take it to the track.

 

I was planning on using the stock supra factory power steering lines, looks like it'll put the reservoir right where the fuse box is though. I'll let you know how that goes.

 

Might be better to move the ecu to the glove box or side kick panel.
It's a truck eventually your gonna get ballzy and want to run it in the mud and water so the ecu would see more protection inside the cab.
My opinion. It's good to plan ahead IMHO.
I dunno if you plan on sealing the ecu box up I guess that should work alright too.

 

yeah i wanted to seal the box up very well.


i just haven't wanted to jump under the dash and yank out any thing so i can drill a proper hole for the ecu harness, that and being able to remove the motor with out worring about the harness in the fire wall

 

some of the key wiring plug's

 

Are you using this writeup for the wiring?
http://www.supracharged.com/tech/wiring/index.shtml

I'm curious as what wires, if any, are different on the pre-89 truck harness.

 

yeah it looks as if thats the same write up.

im going to look up the wire's for the truck tonight and start tagging wire's i need.

 

p/s pump installed still need to find the tightening bracket fot it though.

note: i was able to re-locate the truck resivor with one bolt to the passenger fender, i will make a mount to have it sit straight and rigid. also the stock truck feed pipe worked fine



also found im needing to do some cutting and fabing to get the rad in there just right, :p






yeah i've allready blown the needle's out.

but the two picture;s i took didn't come out for some reason.
