Way to rock it up on Speedhunters man! and grats on getting hold of that supercharger!!!!!!! That's gonna sound beefy as fuck dude! How much power is that gonna add? Cheers bud, yeah i'm proper happy with the attention it's brought to Mk2's, keeps them in peoples mind i think whn you see one on a good car site. And, Supercharger is Fucking awesome to be fair. I'm going to rebuild it as there's a bit of slop, but rebuild kits are really cheap and look quite easy to do, then mock it up on a low milage Auto engine i'm picking up soon. As for bhp, i dont want to go mad, so will be happy with 250 bhp-lb/ft, but anything above is a bonus. Reliability is the main objective , so as long as it comes on full boost by around 1200rpm upto redline i'll be happy . it increases Displacement to 4.229 litres on paper, so (1.47 litres of air displaced +2.759 litre 5mge, so it's like rocking a 4.2 straight six! So long as i can supply enough fuel to go with the increase of air it should be awesome to drive.

Things on my list are. (in no particular order ) * Rising rate fuel regulator(either sard or fse) * 330/440cc injectors from a 7mge -gte * Colder plugs. * Recirculating Blow off valve (Prob go Forge for boost adjust) * Thicker Cometic Head Gasket * Large Intercooler & Pipework (ebay job) * Belts and Tension Pulleys + Make charger Brackets * M90 Rebuilt kit & To design and make the intake pipe to the charger Other items i already have are A standalone Piggyback Management ecu and a walbro 225 LP/H Fuel pump , so they're ticked off the to buy list. As you can see, it's not exactly a cheap conversion after you've sourced all that, then you have to account for mapping time so dont expect this to be a weekend job mate, will take me a while to pay for all that!

Think I'm going to go down the 1uz route as you can buy a ls400 for £500
I can get the w58 to 1uz conversion plate from oz or America and for $20 buy the pdx file for cnc machinist.

Yeah, i still make stuff Been a while, but have been working on some Weld on Rear camber correction Brackets for the Celica Supra to try and eradicate some of the Dirty excess Rear camber angle which piles on after you lower the car. New M12 bolts and camber washers will be supplied so will fit all Aftermarket poly bushes rather than having to drill out the inner sleeves to accept the Oe Toyota Eccentric Bolts Used already for the Toe adjusment on the inner arms. ]I will be doing the Subframe modification on an exchange Basis as well as selling the brackets and hardware individually so those who are confident welders can do the mod at home. Exchanged subframes will be Blasted back to allow stitch welding and repair, then Powder coated in a choice of colours. I am also thinking of knocking out some Poly bushes to supply with the Subframe, so it's super easy to refit. Prices to follow after ive tested everything to be of superior standard And also manages to Get a free Aluminum Diff Oil cooler and pump From a Nissan 200SX. It's much needed as these diff's get really hot and have quite a low oil level in them,so no good for prolonged drifting. I'll link up the Pump to the old Aircon Switch, so i can run it on whilst i'm giving it angry death on the track. Forgot to take pictures of the solid Pinion Crush sleeve from Weir Performance, so here are a couple to show you with the shims for matching to original spec.

Can I just ask where you bought your wheels Neil? You got them made with custom offsets didn't you? If I fail to get hold of a set of decent Turbo Vecs, I want grid V's or something similar, but the offsets are shite, so was hoping you could give me a number or contact so I can get them made to order? I'd rather get them how I want them, than have to use spacers. I'm thinking 9 or 9.5jj with offsets of around -22 fronts and -32 backs, I may be slightly off, as I need to measure them correctly, but it's somewhere in that region. btw thanks for the link to those wheels the other day, but they aren't really wide enough for what I want. Appreciate the effort though

Appreciate the effort though Hey Gaz, Yeah. i got my Wheels made by Compomotive, but they usually have blanks in stock, so it's quite easy really! For your offset, i'd suggest toning it down a bit actually. If i could do it again i'd go for ET-10 on the front, and ET-20 on the rear. This allows for camber correction as Mine would stick out too much on the front, and too much on the back if it wasn't for the Camber i have on there. Once my rear kit has been fitted i forsee the arches rubbing the outside of the tyre. Easy to work out offset really. It's done in mm, so you need to convert inch to mm. For example = A 9j rim is 25.4 x 9 =228.6mm wide So, ET0 for the hub face is half that = 114.3mm Any Negative offset over that is increments of 1mm. so a ET-25 wheel would push the wheel out 25mm over 114.3 ( now 139.3mm.) That 139.3mm is the measurement from the hub face to the wheel outer rim when suspension is static. Just make up a right angled template to see how that looks. Oh, and wheels were £155 each in their Bowler wildcat charcoal Grey.

Cheers for that Neil, I measured up earlier and looking like -12 and -22 with stretched rubber should work well, I did a few inquiries with regards to grid v's and they don't go below et 0, so if I wanna go with those wheels, im gonna have to buy spacers I guess, so 10mm on the front and 20 or 25mm on the back. Any idea if spacers will effect the integrity of the hub while drifting or are they gonna be just as solid?

Bloody hell It's been a while since my last update eh Ok,I must admit, Riding my BMX at our New local Skatepark quite a lot lately, In between working on New products so Drifting and my own Car stuff has taken a back seat for a while as i cling on To my Youth! So some parts i've been Whoring till i can fit them. 1"MK3 Supra Master Cylinder For the Big Brake upgrade. I'm already running a MK3 Brake Booster, so will fit on with No modification other than Bending the Brake lines a bit. SAM_0086 by shiredrifter, on Flickr Eaton M90 Needle Bearings and Snout Coupling to refresh the charger. Ordered from the States for about £40 SAM_0082 by shiredrifter, on Flickr Adjustable Recirculating Blow off Valve For the Supercharger Conversion.This will also serve as a Boost controller of sorts. Think of it as a Recirculating Bleed valve SAM_0081 by shiredrifter, on Flickr Dastek Unichip Piggyback ECU. It's an early type, but so is my car. What can i say, It was Cheap, They are proficient for the job and there are enough people around my area that can Map them, so a no brainer really! SAM_0080 by shiredrifter, on Flickr I Got Mark the fabricator to Chop off and weld up the Old wastegate Hole in the Boost pipe, so i could spin the pipe round 180 degrees. He did an awesome job too SAM_0083 by shiredrifter, on Flickr SAM_0084 by shiredrifter, on Flickr So it now fits like this > SAM_0085 by shiredrifter, on Flickr The Recirculating Dump Valve will need to link this outlet pipe to the inlet pipe at the back of the supercharger, so i gotta drill it and make a new hole for the Dump valve. Billy Thorpe of Sweet Oblivion Clothing Also very kindly Made up a New Logo and Stickers for Driftoy, So They now adorn the car. SAM_0089 by shiredrifter, on Flickr Please buy one, they'll be a collectors item one day! ;D
