Hi, Im not too familiar with how to post on these forums but I hope im posting in the right place lol.. a few months ago i mentioned i was building a single t70 sc400, I havent had much time to work on it since im a highschool student but I thought i should post some build pics.. Im also making it a 5speed with a t45 borgwarner out of a 96 mustang ($85 junkyard) I made an adapter plate and used a slave from a chevy, ACT pressure plate from a 3sgte.. clutch disk from a 66 Ford Falcon.. fidanza Camry flywheel.. and other things im sure im forgetting.. Yes its all a Frankenstein but it my Frankenstein .. The progress keeps me motivated to keep working on it.. everything is custom and a pain in the *** but most of the hard part is done.. I have some 3inch stainless tubing off a jt3 jet engine ima use for my down pipe lol, I have a 2.5" intercooler kit off ebay HKS ssq bov knock off and a AEM wideband.. AFPR and I just need 390cc injectors off 1g eclipse and Apexi SAFC.. well guys any feedback is greatly appreciated thats if this posts ends up in the right place lol..

lol sorry about the pics guys i re-sized them already.. And thanks for the feedback it really does help.. today I have to tap into the exhaust manifolds to weld the stock O2 sensor bungs.. oh I forgot to mention that I put the Toyota speed sensor on the lathe at school and modified it to work with the Ford trans I made a gear adapter and used the ford gear on the Toyota shaft, it fit right in =D.. and Yea Im in 11th grade i bought the car my freshman year for 800 bucks and ive had to re do the interior and this engine is out of a 93 LS4 with approx 50k miles so i think its ready to see boost =].. The reason i tackled this project is because Ive always liked the supra and toyota cars because of reliability but was always a fan of the v8 and this is the best of both worlds.. and I also wanted to be unique and stand out from the average highschool car crowd (mustangs, srt4, civic).. apart from that well "1UZ" what more could you want? .. well guys once again thanks for the support i will try to keep you guys posted whenever i can.. Enjoy the holidays!

You can build this when you're in high school and that's very impressive. You can probably build a pro F1 car when you're at my age.
You'll need to have strong supporting brackets near the turbo and near both manifolds. Or they'll crack under heat and weight.
