Well I took some time to get these pics up so that others can enjoy. I wanted to take the time to take some good pics of my new blower set up as it is about 95% complete. I will document more of the car as it wraps up, so that others can benefit from it. I know that it might be over powered for the street but, to each his own right. Reason why this will differ from many Race set ups is that it keeps all the AC, PS, PB, ALT,ABS, Etc. All factory options remain on the car!
It's only built for one thing. High Horsepower Supra Hunting .
So I hope you all will enjoy the tour, in a story book format. Starting with the old setup in the first pictures.
Thanks for your time,
EA
CHAPTER ONE: I wanted the car to have the same stock appearance. The sumped Aeromotive tank and #8 Feed lines on both side are about all that will give the car away. The Rear End is fitted with a Trac-Loc, and Strange Axles, C-clip Elims, Girdle, you know the standard other stuff. The Fuel system is quite trick, and will be covered later on my site.
CHAPTER TWO: This is a picture of the Old motor set up. This featured a D1-SC Procharger, and Sheetmetal 3 core intercooler. The Air intake was custom made to let the D1-SC breath as she pushed the limits of the boost gauge. The motor featured, Manley Rods, and SHM Flat top pistons ( 10:1 Comp. ) I know the compresion was high, though I got a deal I couldn't pass up. The FMU is in the picture, though if you notice it is not hooked up. I just left in their incase I went to a smaller injector. Only mods to the motor at this time are Pistons, Rods, and 50lb injectors, TR6 NGK's, and a cutom Autologic chip for the tune. She was making an impressive 516.3RWHP on low boost. I felt that we good enough for the daily driver and left her alone.
CHAPTER THREE: After almost a year of daily driving and abuse(you get addicted) we decided to strap her down again, and see if after a year of abuse we could get some more out of the RODS, PISTONS Cobra. After bringing about 10 Chips to the Dyno for trial and error, we came to some great results. After playing with the chips, and Fuel Press. the little Cobra turned the rollers to the tune of 573.6 RWHP! Not to bad for a D1-SC, Moderate boost, and minimal Motor mods. Still NO cams, porting, dished pistons, intake mods, single TB, Etc. We didn't even bother to remove the IMRC plates. Though after getting heckled by many supra owners for wasting my time with the 4.6L. Things needed to change. I was on a mission now, to make a big change to the Daily Driver in the HP department. We knew the 6 rib wasn't going to cut the mustard so to speak. I posted on the corral asking about 8 rib drive conversions, and got some great Feed back, and PM's so I want to thank all of you for that. Though I decided Cog was going to be the way to go. We doubed this as "The last dyno pull that motor will ever make" and we were right. She started comming apart only a week later.
CHAPTER FOUR: The terms were set; To have over 800RWHP, yet still have Leather, AC, Power Steering, Power Brakes, and all other comfort features. This goal was set because of all the Supra owners where I live, sticking to the fact that they are better because they go fast with AC, Leather.....bla bla bla. Well I wanted to prove that the Modular Motors are here to stay. So the motor was stripped a small amount to aid in fitting the future plans. The white papers are traced copys of the brackets, to make sure everything was going to fit before we started bolting things on. The intake was removed to get chromed (valve covers will follow shortly) And the pulley in the picture is resting on that valve cover for no real reason. (other then making the picture look bad) Lets move on shall we......
CHAPTER FIVE: Well now the crank drive is bolted into place, and AC lines moved to make room. There is just something AMERICAN about looking down at a big cog driven blower pulley. The idlers for the AC, and PS will follow later in the install. You also may notice the stock radiator is in place, though it will be removed to aid the blowers air intake path. You will see why in the next picture.
CHAPTER SIX: First off I would like to note, this is just the test blower. It is a F1-R (reverse) ProCharger. The volute is just pointed where ever we wanted for the time being. (it will point down to the drivers side) The blower that will end up on the car is a F2-M, once the motor is finished up. We just wanted to make sure everything fit before the New Motor was finished, and something wasn't going to clear.
CHAPTER SEVEN: Well once again, I should have taken that pulley off the pass. side valve cover but I didn't. So please disregaurd that sitting there. Also please note that the idlers for the accessory drive belt are not placed yet, thus the belt lies limp at the water pump. The tape over the Intake ports reads "32 Valves of American V8" if anyone wonders. Also looks like I did some advertizing for "Sharpie Markers" since there is one sitting on the radiator.
