just started builing, lots more to come,

 

^ Why not shorten the intercooler piping by doing a straight shot from the turbo to the intercooler?

My in progress engine bay, lol:

 

Nothing fancy, just stock with a street port.

 

i agree..


i hope she catches on fireeee!!!!!!! i kid.. i kid..

 

Lol, Don't be hatin'. I hope I don't have to worry about it catching on fire haha.

 

that's badass, how does she fit?

 

Surprisingly well actually. The height of the engine was a little problematic, but I was able to just get it to fit below the stock hood without lowering the steering rack too much. I have plenty of space in front of the motor as well. Everything is pretty tight everywhere else though, I'm not going to lie haha. The FD engine bay is not nearly as large as the Supra, so space is always at a premium.

 

Looks great. My friend is also doing the same conversion at the moment. Can you tell me what exactly you did so you could use the stock hood? Is it only the steering rack you had to alter?

 

I don't want to take this thread off topic, so just take a look at my build thread and post any questions you have there. The link is:

Teaser pic of my new fully custom vmount

 

The black exterior is soon to match the engine bay.

 

how much power are you making with the t04r?
I kinda like the blue engine bay, I know it doesn't match the rest of the car, but it matches the hoses and couplers and pulleys, are you making the car blue or the engine black?

 

Thanks: It's putting down 400 at the wheels with 15psi on a stock motor

I put a "disclaimer" above the picture; the car is going blue, i had the engine out so I decided to save myself some money by doing the engine bay myself.

 

 

Here are some of my mini setup compared to all the beast machines here.

 

^ That engine bay is so clean, best one on an FD I have ever seen. Props!

 

pito if only your camera was as good as what your engine bay seems to look like i could comment on it!!! get better pics it looks CLEANNN

and mine temporary... need a bigger over to powdercoat the manifold ic piping etc.... but mostlikely redoing it and going pink instead of purple...


Props to my photographer sinned2545

 

Some clean looking engine bays!
