MK3 Supra / 1uzfe / Single Turbo Build Thread
Now moving on. I purchased this car last year for next to nothing. Came as an original turbo/auto shell with 90K on it. The body is in really good condition despite being 22 years old.
This car originally was going to be a 1uzfe/W58 daily driver... But after putting it all together, it made sense to not stop there. Soon after the idea of single turbo became apparent.
As the car currently sits, before I tear it apart again:
1uzfe w/ stock ecu
W58
Quantum-Auto manual swap kit
Crown Vic (BBS) Wheels
Tokico Illumina front/blown stock rears - this is how I picked it up as
H&R springs
ABS Delete
JVTR 3 row radiator
unfinished dart-izumi exhaust
And the plans for the next few months include:
Holset HX52 *Billet Compressor Wheel* (single turbo)
Custom SCH10 SS304 Manifolds
4" Exhaust
Blitz Nur Spec Muffler
Tial 44mm Wastegate
Tial 50mm BOV
Megasquirt 3x with fully custom harness
Stitch Weld the entire car
Shave the engine bay a bit
Battery and Fuse Box Relocation
Aeromotive FPR
Walbro 255lph pump
Custom -8AN fuel rails
RX7 460cc injectors
Electric MR2 PS pump
Relocate Alternator to other side, reduce down to only 2 pulleys
R154 or Solstice Tranmission
Feramic 6 puck clutch
Tilton Slave
================
After some hammer action (pre89 issue) to the firewall, subframe, and my brain, I got it to fit perfect. These pics will show a progression from when it went it, cleaning up the wiring and whatnot. And a small video of how it sits right now, before the surgery continues...
=============================
So I started to pick up parts for my turbo setup.
Got some MegaSquirt 3x action going on...
Thats it for now, I will update when I can!

Okay stripped a good portion of the interior today. Im removing the sound deadening and stitch welding it. Drop some weight and make it stiffer, bingo!
Found an AT&T LG phone in the car, any of the past owners (few on this site) want to claim it haha?
Started to take some stuff out of the engine bay...
Pile of ****
Some stripping...
===============================
Got a bunch out today... with only 3lbs of dry ice I got most of the main cabin taken out.
===================================
Got more done today than I planned! Stitched welded a good portion of the car.
Still needs to pull the dash... its just super uncomfortable sitting in the car without any seats...
=================================
Finished the cabin... need to do rear shock towers back still... but for now...

Okay Finished all the inside stitch welding.
And I love this saying...
Anyways, since I am removing the heatercore/evap/all ducting but keeping the blower motor, I ordered 10ft of 2.5" air vent ducting to run some sort of circulation system in the car.... stripped or not, sitting in a car with still air in the summer sucks. Should see that soon.

It is pretty cleaned up now and works still.
And I go to get some food and my car is now lazy... lammmeee

Okay well pics have been done for a bit, but now back up 
. Alright I took a small vacation to give myself a break, but I am back on it. My original goal of a simple 4-1 manifold setup will not work, it just does not clear... oh well, waste of 2ft of SCH10 piping.
So now I made some 2-1 collectors, waiting to weld them, so no pics yet
.
Busted *** on the MS3, I am ready to install the actually MS3 cpu and the expansion board next.

Just a heads up...
Having used those exact coils before with MS3, you are going to need a real CDI box to make them worth a damn. Those are designed for the CDI ignition on the bike and will put out a wimpy spark when used with inductive ignition. We weren't able to manage more than 10psi on a .016 gap WITH iridiums (also tried coppers). Will it turn on, yah....will it make good power...not unless you upgrade to CDI.
Also, make sure your plugs have the unscrewable top to fit inside the pencil coil.
Looking good though!!!!

Picked up a Volvo 2 wire fast idle valve, should work well and very simple.
I cleaned up the engine bay wiring a lot today... pulled more and more out...
This stuff still needs to be pulled through and cut off
Car has seen better days..
Pulled awhile ago but yeah

Figure for the $15 I paid for it, it should work very well (and super simple).

Its a 6 wire unit. We have been trying to get it work properly on my friends SC400, but after many failed attempts, we just cracked the throttle plate. Plus I am making a new manifold and I would rather have an external IAC of some sort with a good plastic non broken clip (all 1uz's lol).
