Default Bob's TT 6-Speed SC"400"

Hey Guys, I wanted to tell everybody a little about my project, but didn't want to hi-jack the Name/Location thread.
I have a 93 SC400 that I've twin turboed, and am currently in the process of installing a getrag 6-speed.
Here are a couple photos of my project.


The car was lowered using AGX Shocks, and Intrax lowering spring for the Supra. and running on ASA AR1 wheels.


Installed a Supra Torsen LSD out of an Auto TT
Also installed Supra TT Brakes front/Rear with drilled rotors, and SS Brake Lines.

The car dynoed 321RWHP at 5PSI and 378RWHP at 7-8psi on a stock 1UZ with 160,000 miles
Melted a piston, and ran a set of Wisceo 8.5:1 forged pistons, and made 510RWHP at 16-17PSI 500RWTQ.
We had to add fuel with the extra air, so Chrisman made me a custom upper intake that held an additional 8 injectors which came on with boost. This worked pretty well.
You can see the injector bunges in this photo with the nes powercoated intake.


This combination cause the Auto trans to fail multiple times. the car ran a 13.1 @ 115MPH at the track, right before it blew a head gasket, and bent a connecting rod. We were also running the stock timming.
My Autometer D-pic stated a 12.6@125MPH when the car ran it's best.

My new setup has Pauter connecting rods, and Wiseco Pistons.



Powercoated the intake, and valve covers, along with a few other parts.
The head gaskets have been changed to the later GS400 MLS headgaskets.
Heads have been cleaned up (Not really ported, just take out the casting marks) and polished.





Rebuilt the Motor.

Installed oil squiters out of the 2UZ truck block to try and control the temp in the pistons.




Then decided that the stock auto trans wasn't going to hold the power decided to run a Getrag 6-speed man.
We had a clutch made from Quarter Master.
Dual disc sintered bronze. 400ftlbs per disc.
The clutch uses the auto flexplate for the starter ring gear this allows these clutches have a low MOI compared to standard performance clutches.
A triple, and carbon carbon are also aviable.





With a little luck, the few parts I have left to get will fall into place, and the car will hopefully be running by early spring.

Thanks Guys. The cars at home in the garage right now. the motor & trans are at C.M. Racing In Palatine for you local Chitown guys.
I think I should have the Getrag mated to the 1UZ tonight, & as far as i know this will be the first Getrag 6-speed on a 1UZ.
Rod Millen put a Getrag on a 4.3L 3UZ, and a couple guys put the 5-speed which in realtiy is probably all the same amount of work.
I'll take some photos, and post em when it's together.

Very nice work glad to see more boosted V8's popping up plus the Getrag is a bonus.

Thanks Guys! I heard that there is a Supra with a 1UZ and a getrag, so somebody beat me to it. LOL

I think he has some vidoes on You Tube. search for something like TT 1UZ Supra.
Last night, Chris & I got the Transmission mated up to the motor.
it was actually a pain.
Taking it out while in the car is going to suck!
Anyway, here are some photos!







Sorry, this photo kept coming out blurry. it kind of hard to take a picture inside the bell housing.
This is a photo of the clutch, and throw out bearing.
