850hp Time Attack Supra - THE BUILD

[34jzgte]

Hey,
i thought i would paste my build on here also to represent the supra crowd, i have had many delays and even close to taking some legal action but all prevailed in the end and parts started coming in, i also had new parts stolen while in transit and waiting for insurance is just ridiculous.

Life started out as a single turbo fully built motor with serious modifications behind it.
I owned the supra for 2 weeks and decided to change a few things, thats when it seriously got out of hand, in a good way.
This build turned to a snails pace due to having problems with shipment of items not arriving and having to chase them up then i had to delay fabrication which then held up the bodywork and one would not work with out the other.

Before: Supra was a sleeper with fully built 3.1L and t51r spl, most it ever made was 720rwhp

Im going to try keep things short because i am working on a time lapse video rather than just a picture dump thread.


I will try keep it one page because it will be replaced with the time-lapse video
You will see it take shape from bare shell to the end result.
I was doing most of it my self but I am also very busy with work commitments so other people will do the work i will try to keep things updated in here.

Fucking hell. MOAR !!!

[Madhav]

Awesome! What sized turbos are you planning to run?

[kurbn]

Will be watching this build. Looks like it's going to be marvelous under that hood. And then some.

[Risk10k]

Been waiting for this for a little while :) Looking forward to MOAR!

[INSINR8R]

I think I'm in love.

That is awesome.

[34jzgte]

Awesome! What sized turbos are you planning to run?

72mm cold and 61mm hotside.

Pretty bombed marco. Are those the same lobster bends josh made up?

looking intense

Very nice, subscribed for future updates. :)

EDIT: How competitive are you looking at being in time attack? To the point of wind tunnel testing, etc?

[34jzgte]

Is the first picture the finished car?

No, i had it chopped so i could see if it would work with the color and wheels, but other than that its the same JGTC kit.

[S133LTR]

Lots of great gear dude.. I see your still running the s/s tube to the intake side of the motor, you still running the factory 'water cooler/heater' on the oil filter?

edit.. looking at the 'chop' it works:)

[34jzgte]

yeah josh tacked them together for me, here is a thread of how i made them if anyone wants to know http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/340486-making-lobster-back-piping/page__st__40__gopid__5520913#entry5520913

Those pipes will be for show, another set in Ally will be there for track use, The oil cooler will have the heat exchanger with-in the radiator, that way there is room for a power steering cooler and gearbox cooler because on the front there is limited space that i need also for brake ducting.

i will take it to world timeattack in open class only thing that kept me in open was the gearbox, i looked at a hollinger but that would push it to pro class, i was looking at another kit from japan that was created via wind tunnel testing and all carbon fiber but wasn't quite wide enough and then the costs landed is just way to over the top for something that may attain damage during racing.
It will also stay street registered till i get to the point of no return, then i will go further with cage, fuel cell and the hollinger.

Wait, so this in its current state, when completed, won't have a cage? :| Crazy pingpingpingping hahaha!

Subscribed, looks like a killer build! I hope the whole process goes smoothly and there are no hiccups anywhere during the build. :)

[Ibz]

This is going to be insane... Definitely be keeping a close eye on this thread...

[Yakky Bear]

phenomenal! good to see a car of this calibre on the forums.. look forward to seeing it finished. Awesome build man thanks for sharing!

[jaybee]

very nice, a time lapse video would be awesome to see!

what are your main intentions with the car once it's done? is there a specific event your aiming for?

[34jzgte]

Half cage with a harness bar.

World time attack and hill climbs but also mainly to enjoy the supra as a rough, loud and hard to drive car, its hard to explain the feeling, something i can work on knowing every detail of it.
i want to get as much of it engineered as possible, i have gone into every detail of the build and even new parts i have been trying to say away from off the shelf parts or change those parts to suit my personal preferences.

Here is the idea of the timelapse video:

Thanks, yeah i hope so to, so far so good the start there where a few problems that's why i held off the thread for some time as updates would take to long, the engine bay will be the 1st thing to be fabricated, found someone that lives near by and his back yard shed was insane, a professional workshop with hot-rods and custom bikes in there, couldn't have come at a better time, ill try get some details and pics when i drop in again.

[TheChad]

holy shit.

[Fryman]

this is absolutely nuts!!

flaweless victory!

[1JZNOSHIT]

wow, I would have thought the 3.1l T51R 720hp combo would have been a nice end to this showcase but that was just the start!

Insanity! Keen to see the end results :D

P.S, will there be peelouts?

[monk_13]

FUCK ME....

Nice work sir. Keen for thrash pics/vids!

Haha quite possibly, but the idea is to keep the wheels from spinning, limited boost in gears plus a race logic traction control sys with launch function.

[mys1]

No idea how hard you are expecting this to rev, But not going Electric Water Pump Route? Not worried about Cavitation or anything?

Nope, not with the 2j, twins turbos have built many supras that race on the track and was told not needed, 8500rpm at the maximum i would say, titan motorsports told me i could go further but its not needed because all i will do is wear the bottom end bearings faster, i also talked to WTF auto and they where very helpful in this matter.
Also on that matter, the cooling system is completely changed, i would say if it does happen i will do something about it but at this stage there was no urgent need for it.

[34jzgte]

Ive seen your ride in person, looks brilliant.
you going to time-attack your beast?

[34jzgte]

Thanks every-one for the kind words, ill keep this updated as much as possible, i wont have the supra to take photos so what i will do is give the people working on it a camera so they can take photos and i will post them up. :)

cheers mate, been a long time in the making and josh is a wizard on the tig, but its a pos compared to what you've got going on here lol.

yeah keen to get into some time attack but nothing to serious more for fun to begin with.

[d1mitch]

that is one serious car, cant wait to see more pics

I'm surprised WTF didn't try to convince you to go a sequential or compound twin setup. Needs a shit load of piping but the results are supposed to be unbeatable.

[34jzgte]

I'm surprised WTF didn't try to convince you to go a sequential or compound twin setup. Needs a shit load of piping but the results are supposed to be unbeatable.

The sequential system is good but you start to have a problem when you go larger turbos because one turbo tends to force the air into the other turbo instead of the intercooler as its the path of least resistance, also looking at what Inferno did with the sequential supra was good but the spool times didn't increase greatly, sure it was better but was paying that much worth it for a car that probably wont see the track.
as for my setup, a few things have been considered, i will see what happens with the results when its tuning time.

[34jzgte]

So after being F##ed around buy a seller from the states in regards to my motor, i have had many problems with the engine but thats all in the past, head is done, now waiting for the cams (others where stolen), the stroker will have a bearing swap and studs bored to 1/2 while thats done i will get it painted, photos will be up soon, here's a sneak peak of the head port. Titan motorsports stage 5, cnc'd head port.
I can finally be happy with something after so many delays and problems.

fuck that looks schmick! where did you get that done?

[34jzgte]

fuck that looks schmick! where did you get that done?

Titan motorsports in the US did the head, all spec'd out for JUN 272 high lift cams.

[34jzgte]

Hmm i wonder what this roll of carbon fiber could be for? Lots of carbon fiber ducting, brakes, intercooler to bonnet vents and even as heat shield over the headers.

Test fitting, looks right at home,
http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af16/34jzgte/The_supra/003.jpg

Most parts will be custom made one off's like custom water-necks with braid fittings.

Will also be working on some firewall plugs that way the engine harness can be disconnected in one spot rather than going through the whole bay unpluging sensors 1 by 1 should the engine need to be taken out.

[34jzgte]

almost done, starting to look like a work of art, the fabricator will break it appart and weld it in sequence, also measurements of the runners are equal from 1 to 6th runner and im talking -/+ 8mm differences just to be anal

I probably missed it due to not reading the whole thread, but why twins?

Why does anyone do anything? Google is a good place to find out.

[j3rk]

Lol Marco, way to avoid the question!
Feel free to correct me but he went twins on the theory that more response can be gained with the same if not more power than a big single.
The argument has been had on almost every forum of different car types and multiple 'expects' / 'racers' / 'motor-sports legends' have argued both ways.
Either way it look ridiculous and will f**king move so who cares!

[Rich]

this will be a methanol burnout car yes? so big HP is all that is needed. response is over rated ;)

[180SXTCY]

Marco i so want to go for a lap in this weapon when its finished! looking good man!

[Mofo]

why not twins? ...subjective arguments aside, they do perform (very well), aren't done to death (singles are) and on top of that they look fucking cool. this guy obviously has problems keeping the cash from spewing out of his pockets so sit back and start mirin' brah

[Brett_J]

Ohhh I missed the part where I said twins were a bad idea, now I see it.............. Fuckheads
I only ask as it's not that common these days with big singles being a lot more responsive than days gone by.

[34jzgte]

I only ask as it's not that common these days with big singles being a lot more responsive than days gone by.

Well i would like to add that for todays market big singles or any single turbo kit will be readily available because number ,1 parts (less of them), 2 costs, 3 easy self bolt in application and when the turbo goes there is only 1 to replace, this is why race cars will see singles because they are replaced easy.

Building this kit i would like to point out there was not 1 nice twin manifold for the 2jz and if there was it had its problems, when i look at single kits there is so many out there i could choose from the best being tuned length.

one other thing in regards to space, its not like i can just place a dump pipe in for both turbos because the steering rack, waste-gate and discharge pipes plus all the lines doesnt make this an easy kit to take off in race situations, if i get more serious after taking this car out and off road reg i will go single just because of its simplicity.

im not getting into the debate of singles vs twins as thats been done to death before.

[Mofo]

Ohhh I missed the part where I said twins were a bad idea, now I see it.............. Fuckheads
u mad?

[DCEVO]

Looking very nice mate will be interested to see the dumps and exhaust ..

[34jzgte]

Here are the dump pipes, the other bends in stainless where my cooler piping but changed to ally.
http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af16/34jzgte/more_pipework2/007.jpg

[DCEVO]

Nice mate very nice Ive gone the same way and done the cooler pipes in ally for heat dispersion :)

[34jzgte]

Being bit lazy atm with updates, pretty much waiting on this thing to be done,
Working out welding sequence before i punch out some more of them, depending on demand.

http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af16/34jzgte/CAD_designs/Photo1907.jpg

Also all body work minus the roof will be carbon fiber, once this manifold is done the fab work will almost be done, Ti is also in the works for pipe but debating that due to the piping clamps being only stainless and ally.
There have been talks with a certain company to make pre-preg dry carbon items, just waiting on the wide body to arrive so the mold making can begin this is for certain.

Stay tuned....

awsome fab work with the manifold mate.

impressed.

[monga]

Was in this machine when it arrived here in WA, was off the chain then. Unreal effort to see it's progression, top work Delroy.

[34jzgte]

I can hardly remember it was that long ago, i dont recommend ordering parts over seas just kills motivation to continue work, almost considered selling up a few times but i will get there in the end.

The lungs of the operation are almost done, meticulous part is over all to CAD specs pre cut and stage welded in a series to make it work, the manifold often being overlooked i created every runner to be within +/- 5mm tolerances of each-other, far from a hand built cowboy job.

Flange is CNC machined to reduce warping and has proven its self, has also tapered ports from oval to round, (2j's having oval ports).

The pre-cut stage
http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af16/34jzgte/CAD_designs/005.jpg

Waste-gate/balance pipe and vband flanges to go on next and then the turbos can have a final place to mount.

Tig welded/fused inside merge collectors to make sure nothing sharp breaks off into turbine wheel, also fused inside the head-flange runners for strength and match the inside pipe to flange.

Will be sandblasted and possibly coated, ordering 316 bends and flange for a stainless version.

Manifold is a work of art!

[4A10SHN]

Cowboy welding though marco! :)

[thrtytwo]

did you prep the ends of the steam pipe before welding?? the porous surface/coating can sometimes lead to shit weld. Looks like a fair effort though! I wouldn't want to attempt it haha. Not enough patience.

you have much welding experience?

[34jzgte]

Yeah all the ends where beveled and prepped, the coating is annoying next one i make i will remove all the coating before i cut the pipe.

I am creating a single turbo version also from CAD twin scroll & normal due to a few inquiries but i will post that in the fabrication section later.

[Mofo]

Just to clarify, who is doing the actual handy work? eg cutting & welding?

[Kerelm]

so much win

[34jzgte]

Just to clarify, who is doing the actual handy work? eg cutting & welding?

So far i have done everything my self, even taking out the old Gearbox, dropped that my self, engine out solo also the wiring is another thing, i did have a mate come around and solder some up after i did over 70% on my own, i drafted my own schematics so i know exactly what is where, still have to mount the firewall quick connectors.

The only thing i wont be able to do my self is the dry-carbon body work, i will be making all the female molds my self then bringing it in simply because dry carbon is a pre-preg lay up that requires a large incubator to set the pre-preg carbon, also known as dry-carbon will also not be doing the painting and prep for painting.
The body work will be the BRS kit with modifications to it just to bring it up to date, then molds from that.

Here is a test fit, i installed a lower water neck i had sitting around for modifications later, it clears it but if using the standard setup you would want a bend out of there, im running a braid fitting setup like this one
http://www.twinsturbo.com/images/rsgallery/display/IMAG0049.jpg.jpg

I was just reading through this, and I was wondering the same thing as well.

[34jzgte]

Almost have everything together, I have been super busy and the poor chassis has been collecting dust, its been a good chance for me to find the last parts the the supra.
I think all i need is a seat, dry sump and change the suspension from ohlins to penske.
The body is top secret at the moment as i have a few leads on parts, maybe jgtc replacements we will see :wink:

Here are some parts i have been collecting.

Im pretty happy with the fitment on the turbos had an hour today to open some boxes, no issues and works with the tial v-bands, i will probably move the wastegate backwards now i have more room with the pedal box reservoirs moved to the side.
Turbos are designed for just over 900hp so it should be perfect for spool.

So cool. How on earth did you find that?

Not sure, i was asking to buy a whole JGTC chassis, a few negotiations later we talked about spares and now with a front bar im still trying to get my hands on a real 96-97 JGTC supra chassis, after adding up costs involved with the way im going about it my supra will never be the real thing.

So there are 2 available,

A 1996 Toms shell without ecu, engine or gearbox

or
A 1997 FET Sport Shell same deal.

[Brockas]

PLEASE buy the Toms shell. One of my all-time favourite cars.

[patty]

Are you a millionaire? Haha this must be one of the best builds yet!

[Cochee]

Stupid question. Every one would say Tom's

[S133LTR]

Fuck it i'll go there.. whats an ex-JGTC roller even worth??

[Stef]

Tom's all the way... will this make it to WTAC 2015? haha loving the updates!

[Damo 69]

Tom's plz

[SimonR32]

Are they all set up for a 3SGTE engine?

Surely the Tom's one would be a pretty penny or 2

Yeah all JGTC Supra's had to run a 3SGTE.

I see you're willing to pay $100k for one hahaha -> http://www.racecarsdirect.com/listing/52642/wanted_97_jgtc_toyota_supra.html

[1JZVL]

fuck!

[34jzgte]

The owner of the toms supra gave me the price and details only to back out saying he would rather find the correct engine for it,
So its still in the air atm because that year is impossible to get, was my own stupid fault I sent him details on the other shell in the photo you see engine and gearbox now he wants details of the seller to get them.
I made a deal on the front bumper for the other guys contact details.
Will give it some time but I am sure I can get it as its just sitting there and everyone has their price.

[34jzgte]

I also think both cars are still in japan because the green workshop floor so I will try find the seller direct without all these middle men taking cuts.

[34jzgte]

Tom's all the way... will this make it to WTAC 2015? haha loving the updates!

It all depends how soon I can find a shell, 96-98 jgtc supras would still be legal to race as the original firewall and strut tops are still in place they also retain most of the standard supra chassis but thats where it ends.

There is an engine for one of these sitting on the display floor at History Garage in Japan. Maybe get in contact with those guys as they do all the resto's in house and might have some connections. (it's near Toyota Megaweb who have ex GT500 Supras on display)

Yeah I have seen them but toyota wont sell any of their "special" engines or parts because they bent the rules a little when it came to racing, they only keep their originals I have a feeling that the toms one is not real but instead still a jgtc car just with the toms decals.

Nissan for instance you can get jgtc stuff super easy, I always come across stuff for them.

[Sack]

Maybe find out how this guy got his ex JGTC racer

Although like you said, it is a Nissan, so easier pickings.

There is a guy who bought the 5 zigen supra in the us and he only payed 7500USD for the chassis so deals can be had for sure but the latest jgtc cars are full carbon chassis with crazy suspention setups and price over the mill mark.
