I show jegs because they are down the street from me and that's where i got it. I am not using a thermostat of the oil also becuase my car is pretty much track only and I get enough time to let the oil warm up however derale makes one for $40 some bucks that should work

also the more research I do on clutches it looks like I shouldn't bother with a single disk and just go to a twin. Im thinking this setup should be quick spool and might be to much for a single disk.

heres some update pictures. I got everything i needed to convert my Supra R154 to a soarer style using toyota OEM parts, figured out my oil feed, Got all my fittings for my turbo, figured out my oil drain line, got my water neck oem water feeds welded shut, tapped and fitted a water feed for the turbo on the water neck and probably a few other things.





Im going to be removing the OEM oil filter perch and mount directly to the block. This shot is just to show the oil feed from the oil lines. I am going to need to buy a bunch of fire shielding for all my water/ oil lines. bah.

Very awesome upgrades! Out of curiosity, is there any particular reason you don't use the factory oil galley to feed the turbo?

no real reason, this is a 2jz block and its just easier to piggy back in the line.

Oooooooh Duh. So the 2JZ NA block does not have the feed bosses? I totally forgot this is a NA block.

Ok, looking at the pics, it appears the bosses are present, but not drilled and tapped. Good to know.

did a little work on the car this weekend but it was mainly cleaning, tapped the waterneck and put the fittings in place. washed the car down to get the dust off, cleaned the engine bay. removed all water heater lines, tested the brakes, ran a power cable to the trunk, put the wiring harness in the driver fender away from the tire and tried to degree the cam but failed again.





heres the cams at TDC, to me it just doesent look right it seems the intake and exhaust would be closed completely.

everything is zero'd out.

Nothing helpful but what assembly lube was used for the cams?

Is there any way you may have installed your cams/gears 180º from where they are supposed to be? It looks like that is where they should be. ie., exhaust valves have just closed, and intake valves are about to open.

well after further research on the cams they are correct. ive talked with may toyota "experts" and they say that its right. I also looked at an old picture of my stock cams and its good.


Johnmatt the assembly lube was redline assembly lube. ill probably be taking off the caps and adding some more since its been sitting so long and im starting to move the engine more and more.
