2jzGTE SCs - The Siblings of my Supra MKIV Toys
#3677
Slowly getting there ... where I want my SCs to be . At least all four SCs do run well now. I still have yet to get that 3.4 stroker setup for the Black Pearl though. Cosmetic wise ...as Dmitry have said , a lot to be desired especially on the paint . They can be a sore in the eyes at times. But they will get there . I am waiting for Irving to give us the right diffuser for these cars .

That's basically the reason why I documented my builds... to encourage others who are not mechanics like me to work on their cars. It is not rocket science. Just got to build that confidence that you can do it . Learn the principles and do the work. Doing things yourself , you can also avoid those crooks who are just after your money and behind you are pieces of sh?t. Only good in front of you and behind you do or say all kinds of lies.
I myself is still learning a lot every day as I talk to friends who are on this industry and as I tinker with my toys . Reading other people's builds in different sites help a lot too.

I love comparing the before and after values to see how effective let's say my Inter-Cooler is , or my oil coolers are or my oil pressure in certain areas of the engine.. .that is why sensors are located in critical places
3 more gauges on the driver side

lmaol ... every info you get from your engine or setup can help you save your investments by providing such info to your ECU so you can activate failsafes. Or monitoring the before and after info let's say of an Inter cooler or oil cooler can tell you if you have a useless Intercooler or oil cooler or not .
I don't use autometer gauges.. ahhahahaha.. Only AEM and Stewart Warner Maximum Performance gauges .

Since I have them , I might as well use them . I hate pushing buttons just to cycle around the different displays of a CAN Display /Logger. Though am thinking of reinstalling the ProEFI Display logger so I don't misplace it. I am bad about misplacing items that I don't use .

You know most standalones can datalog sensors like this and you can use a single screen to look up the values, right?

I love the look of being on a plane cockpit having so many gauges rather than a single screen .

A local friend who is a forum member kept on asking why am I still upgrading Red Mamba Two when I am looking at letting go of it. Well , we never know what tomorrow brings . Who knows , it may never leave me . Am currently enjoying it as a daily driver ... will upgrade it as I deem necessary. Like I was making some pulls yesterday and I saw it get lean. After some investigations and testing , my lean code was being caused by my damn stock filter being clogged. I still had the stock fuel regulator , no fuel pressure gauge so I couldn't tell what my fuel pressure is.
Tried removing the stock fuel filter to replace. It looks like it was never replaced before and being almost 25 year old , you force the removal and you end up damaging the lines. . So I said ,screw it , I might as well upgrade the fuel lines and add other fuel system components for this car .
It already has the TT Denso Fuel Pump so am running an -8an PTFE fuel line as feed. Eventually I might add another TT Denso, so I might as well go a higher in size for the line instead of just using -6an line and make it E85 friendly.Will add an aftermarket fuel regulator with a gauge so it will help me have an idea how healthy my fuel supply is.
I had an extra TT fuel rail so I tapped the feed and regulator openings so I can use an fittings .
Currently it still has the stock regulator and fuel lines but will be gone shortly

Someone did ask me where my -8an PTFE fuel fitting end on the fuel tank . It is on top of the tank's vent hat
I don't drill holes on the opening at the back of the passenger back rest . You have less chances of leaks on the top than on the side of the tank.
Even on the Red Mamba One and Old Man Tan , they are on top of the top hat. The -10an feed and -8an return ......
For Black Pearl ... just go some pages back of this thread and see how I customized my fuel tank since I have three TT Denso pumps and a Weldon 2345a pump for its setup. But this is how my trunk looks like now with all the plumbing to support a big powered powerplant
Managed to mount the AEM fuel pressure regulator for the Red Mamba Two :

not sure but it looks like a Aeromotive FPR to me not AEM
maybe I'm getting old
or maybe you have too many cars and it's just to hard to keep up with with you putting on each car lol
but nice work anyways
