as promised here are the new pic.. so far all the fab work i am doing a another place i am more or less renting his Welding machine.. everything has been made by me and thought up by me.. my so called friend at Redsuns f***ed me over i have gotten more done in the last month then i got done in 6 months over at that hell hole of a shop.. he more or less did a SFR on me ... but i hope you guys like it.. i still have to do the tranny cooler.. but i am waiting to see if one pops up on ebay..


Here she is





oil cooler and fan set up.. i will not use the center brace to support my I/C instead i will tie it off where the bumper used to bolt on to the frame.. hence no crack rad support...


I completely replace the entire interior its all new all the way down to the weather stripping on the door...










Ok here is the fuel system today was a dry run i am trying to keep fuel out of the car as much as i can.. i have a aluminum surge tank AN-8 lines for the return and out lines.. 3 fuel pumps 1 255 in-tank and 2 bosh 044 a SARD type r FPR. RC-750cc inj.. i still have to do the fuel rail that will be done tomorrow and of course i will have toggle switch to turn on and off all three pumps ..









what i did here is use a an-8 and a an-6 SUS-304 nipples and welding them on the the stock fuel tank cap.. it took almost 3 hours.. because it was like this.. weld..spray it off with water...and repeat. if you just do it in one go you will melt the plastic that the wirings connects to...





The entire frame has been spot welding and all seams have been coved with polyurethane and painted..



and of course my new turbo manifold set up...





all done by me.. it was more then a pain in the ass...

 

Good work man! What colour paint is that?

Also, I still don't understand why you need 3 fuel pumps and a surge tank lol. Why don't you just get 1 massive fuel pump tongue.gif

 

thanks for the very much needed update! looks great john!

 

Mad I miss our chats on the phone lol
Car looks amazing
Sorry to hear about the shop screwin you over

 

j f___'in c. next thing on your list is rear wheel drive conversion.

don't know why you want to get rid of those nice wheels. but the new one's look good too. just every drop of this car has been modified insanely. i love it. still no short shifter haha! nobody steals your sh_t in the garage all open like that?

why not just get a Supra and call it a day?

 

Hey there, looking good my friend.

I'm with you, f-shops for any kind of labor, sure get parts from them when needed, but do everything yourself if possible. That way you know it is/was done right and you save a TON of money and headaches, not to mention sleeping better at night knowing your car is in good hands, yours.

So you have like a mini fuel reservior in the trunk? The pumps are sucking fuel from the two lines and transferring it to the tank, then to the filter and to the fuel rail?

Why the reservior? Do the pumps need any kind of cooling other than the fuel flow?

Keep up the good work!

 

I love it man. Heres my questions:

Those RCs fit perfectly?
Trans cooler, I need to know about it. Im guessing youre using a pump to get it to work with the manual right?
Fuel rail, I want one!

Awesome job man. I am hoping to have mine up there with yours someday soon.

 

dang man, I go missing for nearly a year, come back, and see that you're still rockin' out your tib. Mad props to you, man! I truly love your car. You're an inspiration!

 

How much to bring my car to Korea? Damnnnnn....

 

Well I got the fuel rail done today.. yes its stock but i went downtown and had a machine shop i know bore it out 2.1mm over size the stock size is around 14mm.. I went to 16mm give or take .5 of a mm.. it sure open that bad boy up.. then i welded 2 AN-8 alum nipple to it.... i should have the fuel system done by fri.or sat.. then its time for to wire in the msd and the boost controler and run the wireing for the plx-500..

Those RCs fit perfectly?
No i had to raise them up about a half of a inch but remember i have a airram intake. also depending on the air ram the mounting hole might not line up so just drill and tap them

Trans cooler, I need to know about it. Im guessing youre using a pump to get it to work with the manual right?

1.you will need to machince a hole in both the 22mm drain plug on the tranny for a an-8 nipple and do the same for the 17mm fill up hole..
2.between 15~20 foot of oil hose
3.a tilton oil pump "summit racing" has them
4. a ss inline oil filter it must go inline before the pump
5. a oil cooler.. nothing cheap.. a sebtac or earls.. look on ebay any used nascar
