mrbigtanker Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 So after a really long time, I finally have an almost finished motor! This thing will be a monster once it is back in the truck with all sorts of fuel lines, wiring, turbo, supercharger, belts and freeze plugs attached. This qualifies as porn.... So good to get some movement on this after so long! so after a long time its coming together,looks like i got to go twin turbo 2 then.lol looks real good Quote Link to comment

ArmlessMechanic Posted December 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Yea, it helps to read sometimes ha ha ha. I got the motor back into the house, got the valve cover and oil block on. Now she is all wrapped up and waiting for my ass to get into gear with everything else. Just another money shot... Here are the flow numbers before and after the port and polish... Beast mode. 1 Quote Link to comment

ArmlessMechanic Posted December 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 In keeping with progress I've decided to go with as much Z32 driveline as I can. Just ordered a transmission adapter kit without the driveshaft. This weekend I'm on the hunt for a Z32 TT tranny, differential, axles, hubs, brakes and possibly a steering rack... For a guilty pleasure I ordered a Tomei fuel pressure gauge. If anyone wants an S13 transmission in socal let me know. Quote Link to comment
ArmlessMechanic Posted December 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 I'm thinking that if I can get my hands on one of these I could put it behind the stock dash glass. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 I dont know if you seen what i did but the 521 cluster is small,but if you got fiberglass skills you can make it work. Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 This is that Toyota with the twin turbo 2JZ to give you another idea. Quote Link to comment
ArmlessMechanic Posted December 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 You're right... I have an extra 521 cluster in the garage that I just looked at. That Z32 unit is just too big. This is what I'm thinking for the exhaust. My bike, pictured, has this awesome Ti pipe that sounds badass. This is actually the second of the same pipe that I've had on my bike. The first one had the first weld break after the slip on clamp. It was under warranty and the company sent me another pipe for free. It isn't a cheap pipe and I didn't pay retail thankfully. I just like spending money. So since I have 2 of them I was thinking I could use both of them as a side exit behind the passenger door. It starts as a 2.1" pipe where the weld broke and opens to around 2.75-3" after the final transition. I'm unsure of the EGT of my bike but the Ti would turn all sorts of sick ass colors if I can make it work with the truck! The powder coating on the wheels is similar to the coating on the truck, just obviously a different color. The first valve cover I had for this motor I had powder coated. The guy sandblasted and coated the underside of the valve cover... I drilled out the rivets on the oil baffle and it was filled with sand. No fucking way I'm going to let that eat my motor so I got an oem unfinished cover. The head might need to come off again because the "blow by hose" was removed from the block during all of the machining. The one on the upper right side of the photo. This was unaddressed before the motor was put together, probably my fault. I'm going to try to block it off and tap into the side of the block without taking off the head. I've been unable to locate an oem unit and all the advice came in the form of tap and run a stainless line. Quote Link to comment
aintnobiscuit Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 That setup on the 2jz truck is SICK.... So beautiful Quote Link to comment
ArmlessMechanic Posted December 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 Right?! Sick setup. Has anyone seen the BRE Coupe gauges? If I only had an extra $1,100... Got in the tranny adapter with starter and fuel pressure gauge. I'm getting a Z32 twin turbo subframe assembly tomorrow; diff with 3.692 final drive, axles, hubs and brakes off the list for the rear. Should be able to pick up a transmission in the next few weeks and a clutch kit in the meantime. Quote Link to comment
ArmlessMechanic Posted January 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 To prep the truck for the upcoming body work I finally emptied out all of the parts/tools that were in the cab and bed. Now I've got to straighten this crap up tomorrow with so much football to watch. Z32 rear end, 6-bolt and ruined valve cover Mess of old and new parts that need to be sorted. Need to find a home for this as well. This is the powder coated valve cover that got trashed. It was sandblasted and coated underneath. Drilled out the rivets holding on the oil galley and it was full of sand and powder. Bye bye valvetrain... I think not. Quote Link to comment
