Thank you. Yes, looks great specially in person. Looks so simple and yet pretty.

Steve - I will try to fire it up if I get to complete the little things.Got to mount intercooler and its pipings. I was thinking of installing dual denso pumps and upgrade fuel lines to E85 friendly lines so it is ready once I get hold of aftermarket twins.

Default White Diamond's & Red Mamba's Engine Bays

A Glance at White Diamond's and Red Mamba's Engine Bays

WD's bay look beastly but RM''s look simple and yet elegant especially in person.

Hoping to find a good deal on an aftermarket twins so RM remains a true Twin Turbo and make same power as DM.

Looking forward to working on the Blue Angel's Engine Bay which will be a combination of Polished and Blackened Parts.




So which look do you think is better ? Polished or Blackened ?

A Sneak Peek at Blue Angel

It will have the fastest spooling +1000rwhp turbo in the market today.

Will have direct port nitrous like White Diamond so it should make more power than WD.

Engine Bay theme will be a combination of Polished and Blackened Parts.

It is a 1992 SC but will all look like a +97 in a Royal Sapphire Pearl Color (RSP) with full black interior !

That will complete my SC generations look , RM -> 1992-1994 , WD->1995-1996 , BA -> 1997-2000 and yet all 1992 . NO MORE emissions / inspections in less than 2 years !


Quick Spool Valve + Direct Port Nitrous + VVTi Head + PT-6870 = Incredibly FAST Spooling +1000rwhp Street Monster with a lot of torque down low






Precision GEN2 PT-6870 CEA Ball Bearing Turbo rated at 1100. Physical size is almost same as that of PT-6766 / PT-6765. A good sleeper look turbo



Direct Port Nitrous Nozzle under each runner

I like the blacked out bay but you should color match the turbo heat shield with the color of the engine bay paint....it sticks out like a sore thumb.....I seriously think you should consider doing the spark plug cover the same....

It looks so nice in person...classy. The heat shield is not so bad or so different in person. Only when light strikes it that you see a big difference in color. The problem is you have to use High Temp paint for it . If you use the engine bay color, it will just be stripped due to the heat on that shield. It will look uglier with peeling paint after some time.

lmaol,,,, a couple of layers in clothing helps. Need to get Red Mamba buttoned up so I can pay attention to the Blue Angel.

So when are you starting the work on yours ?

The bay looks better without the battery so I am definitely relocating it to the trunk. It would be nice if fuse box too is relocated and would make engine bay look so clean but it is too much work . I will leave it where it is.

I am keeping the GE intake manifold. Going with an ATF built trans. I had a Boostlogic in the Supra but that was 10 years ago.

Nice. What size / width and offset are those wheels ? Do you have coilovers now ?

Thanks for 0 gauge offer. I believe I still have some laying around.

Sorry I don't have a GE ODB1 ECU. Rey (PogikoSC4) has one, PM him.

Yes it is SARD. It will be an ACCENT part on my next build... in GOLD

You need 11mm injectors.

Been working on my inter-cooler and its piping. I am done but not happy with the way the wrinkle came out. Doesn't look good. Will redo them some other time. Temperature is just too cold together with the snow.









Installed a plate as heat shield to prevent warmer air from the engine and radiator near the turbo intake pipe filter.
