To get the inlet manifold facing the correct way for rwd applications you can use the manifold from the newer generation of ford/Volvo derived turbo t5 engines and make an adaptor flange to mount a throttle body of your choice depending on what management you intend to use. Yeah, the intake side wo...

Progress! Got the engine pretty much fully done, I had no clue to the timing cause the illustration that I got (both marks at 12 o'clock), which was the same as in the haynes manual, were wrong. I figured it was to the notches on the top cover where it comes down on the front a bit which is 2 and 10...

Looking good man, look forward to seeing this finished :D Yeah pace is going to pick up now. Sold my old whip to my ex workmate so he should be paying that off to me shortly. Got everything pretty much sourced out just need the time and money. It's starting to get a bit cooler now so I can work on ...

Getting there then what sump are you going too use are you having manifolds made (inlet and exhaust) or you got something lined up Stock sump and manifolds at the moment. The turbo will most likely hug the brake master or the chassis.. Intake manifold should be fine for fitment but might be looking...

Got the car turned around and engine crane assembled. No work on the 5cyl as I'm getting a cambelt tension pulley and a water pump next week so it should be completed during the week. With the mounts I've decided to pull the motor out with the mounts attached then pull them off and see what I can do...

Got the workspace cleaned a bit, and a bit more recent photo of the motor.. Nothing much more done to it since last time.

Been really slack lately. (Paying off parts to work, and drowning income into the supra) Ordering parts from sweden hopefully in 2 weeks but I have to get them sent to relatives in Finland first as they don't ship to australia (bummer) I'll start on pulling out the engine this weekend as I finally m...

Found it on the magnet of a speaker 2 days later. there called collets fella Yeah, I always forget. Was pretty scared about the head bolt tensions. Had to get 2 meters of pipe onto t...

Yeah. Managed to crack the windscreen on the weekend with my toolbox in it... So might be back to the Corona for a while 'till I get it sorted for the pits.. But yeah big plans for that one too!

looking good, will be wellworth it when its done, what is that electric fan of? looks like just the thing i need for my project cheers Hey mate. That's from the same car as the engine (2000-2001 xc/v 70 - series 1 I believe). Wiring it up is going to be fun :roll: Now it's been a month since my las...

UPDATE: Got the day off from work today. 8) Been pretty slack with the thread ever since it started, and the build aswell. (Though budget does play a big part in this too) Second year apprentice next month so pay should bump up a bit :D I'm going to look at a MKIII Supra (1986) on Tuesday for a new ...

Been slack with the updates, sorry. I've got all the seals for the engine except piston rings and seals. I need to relap the valves as I've been cleaning the ports and it has defected the sealing surface on the head a bit. Getting a Haynes manual for the engine next week. Made some progress on the e...

Looks like my last update didn't come through, well here are the process pictures.. http://i750.photobucket.com/albums/xx146/jere_aka_ld50/pics/001-4.jpg http://i750.photobucket.com/albums/xx146/jere_aka_ld50/pics/002-3.jpg http://i750.photobucket.com/albums/xx146/jere_aka_ld50/pics/003-3.jpg http:/...

The front brakes (specifically the discs) are an odd design...so I'd probably 'borrow' something else in 4x100 fitment, to be honest. cheers James True, I haven't really gotten into it yet, been slack for the past few weeks, also got a few speeding fines :oops: no more speeding that's for sure :rol...

Few pictures, started getting a bit dark so the lighting is a bit dim. http://i750.photobucket.com/albums/xx146/jere_aka_ld50/pics/007.jpg http://i750.photobucket.com/albums/xx146/jere_aka_ld50/pics/006.jpg http://i750.photobucket.com/albums/xx146/jere_aka_ld50/pics/005.jpg http://i750.photobucket.c...
