Going GT3574 progress; pics included
Well after taking the plunge on dropping some cash for a street port motor, I decided to drop in an A-Spec GT3574 kit. After waiting a couple of months for the kit, I finally get it about a week and half ago.
Although it took Sean longer than promised to get the kit out to me, its a nice kit. And since I had asked to him to customize a kit to include my stock air pump to get past emission, he made some customization.
First he sent me out a milled LIM...after bolting the stock bolts to mount the intake, I snapped that bolt in the rear iron...broke a tip of an extractor in it and had to drill the damn thing out. Took out 5 days to accomplish this and here I am today:

Now a few questions:
First and foremost, I am keeping my emissions stuff and air pump to get my plates back on the car...been sitting since 05. Once I get the emissions out of the way, I will replace the air pump with an idler pulley.
Now, under the UIM, the double-throttle solenoid, I kept that there because I am following the step-by-step by CrispyRx7 has 3 vac lines...one to the actuator, one to the front of the UIM, and the front vac line is just hanging free. Anyone know where I could plug this into? I've read around that I should take out this solenoid anyways...any thoughts?
The other thing, the a-spec comes with a stainless steel line to feed the turbo...normally the stock turbos gets fed from the banjo nut by the oil fill neck, but a-spec has a female AN fitting, anyone know the size of the banjo nut so I can replace it and get an adapter, I believe the ss line is a -4AN

I did that at first, but it made tightening that AN fitting a pain since it kind of rubs up on the OMP..
Got a min to talk, need to ask you some things, give me a call pls

Ahhh, tighten the fitting to the line then put it on the front cover. If it fits in the car as you have it no worries, I just would be concerned about the extra leak point as well as the line hitting the frame rail. Also I did reply to your email, but I'll call ya.

I think that is it for now, but going with PFC for the ECU. I'm aiming for 425hp

i'm ordering hoses right now and not near my motor, does anyone know the hose sizes from the LIM nipple for the fuel injector atomizer? 6mm??
Also the one from the compressor housing outlet to Greddy IC? I got to get the pipe customized but planning on using the same diameter as the Greddy IC

I got the foil at Summit. I found it worked best when I cut it into 1.5-2 inch wide strips. DEI makes the foil in strips as well although not sold through Summit.
The turbo cover is from ATP Turbo. I had to move the mounting holes and trim the shield a bit around the water lines.
I also use the PFC and have a very nice tune. My $0.02 get a quality, stand alone boost controller. I use the Greddy Profec B spec II, no screwing around...easy...

Lookin' good!
Just a couple things I'll throw out there...
Fuel: Might wanna add another pump or get a one higher flowing pump... over 400rwhp the supra will definitely be strechin it...
Boost controller: I really like my Profec S, simple, consistent and coolest part is it fits perfect in the A/C vent under the steering column...
You should easily hit 425, good luck!

Nice.....
+1 for the Profec controller. Don't waste your time like I did with other controllers....
Your clearance between the EGR block of plate and the hot side of the turbo is less then a quarter inch. Once you get rolling again, pull the LIM and get all that EGR stuff verticly milled off. It will increase the room between the LIM and hotside and allow you to run the ATP shield and thermal barrier and have enough room to flow air inbetween. Guys picture shows the GZ LIM with no EGR crap. I had the stocker milled. Both open the gap.

Here is a comparison of the most used electronic boost controllers: https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/electronic-boost-controller-comparison-chart-952767/
If you want simplicity the Profec S is the way to go, although its features are limited in comparison to its competitors.

I'm looking over my setup and now I'm deciding whether I should swap the water lines that a-spec and go with stainless steel since I have about 5' leftover from my fuel setup.
Anyone know how to connect a stainless steel line to the water housing nipples? Not sure it I can get a flare on one of them [feed side] since its tight around there. Any suggestions?

silvercvic,
I did ceramic coat my housing, but it has since flaked off (~4 hours run time). If I were back at the build stage with what I now know, I would not coat the housing. But remember my car is track only and I'm at full boost for a large percentage of the time...
I did not coat the DP, just wrapped it...
