    -TT Swap- ==== Engine Disassembly ====-10.03.10:  Looks like I can add a new page and save info on the new page finally.  To fill you all in on this engine since I didn't provide any.  This is actually a JDM Aristo 2JZGTE 3.0L DOCH Inline 6 Twin Turbo.  The engine is the same as the MKIV Supra but with slight differences here and there since it came out of a right-hand drive vehicle.  This long block came without the transmission, a cut harness, no ecu, no power steering pump and no a/c compressor.  Most of these or all of them, JDM 2JZGTE engine, are rated below 300hp where as the USDM Supra 2JZGTE is rated around ~300-320hp.  My original goal in the swap was to keep it simple and stay below $5k of course being me that didn't pan out.  I didn't like the idea of being below 300hp mark so opted to upgrade some of JDM Aristo 2JZGTE components with the USDM Supra 2JZGTE components such as the turbo assembly, fuel injectors and camshaft.

    �A custom baffled oil catch can made my Saikou Michico. �I don't think I'll be using both inlet ports on top. �They can also make to have -AN fittings instead of the formed tube nibble.NOTE: �Have not installed this yet, will most likely sell it.

    -Modifying the supplied brackets (Modified on left, original bracket on right).  The photo on the right is what it would look like when you screw it on to the factory bracket.  Remember to put some sort of vibration control between the plastic speaker ring bracket and the factory mount bracket otherwise it will vibrate and you'll loose sound quality.  I used a strip of rubber I had lying around.

    Welcome to my Supra page.Here is my 1993 Toyota Supra 5spd black/tan interior.  Yes it's a 5spd non-turbo, but that will be rectify later on ^_-  It was a hard choice between the Supra and the Mazda Rx7 (FD) and possibly the Honda/Acura Nsx.  Long story short I picked her up on Monday 05/04/2009.  Its a clean title car, but I can tell between the first 3 owner there has been some body repair, and someone got into a little fender bender that was never reported.  Also it need a little maintenance and upgrades.  I bought the car as is.  Apologize for the grainy pictures, took the following photos with with my Sony 2mb pixel camera phone and the later photos on other pages were with my iphone...ahaha-Day I drove her home.

    -04.02.2011: Got this battery tender in the mail last week for the Optima yellow top.  It comes recommended by Optima and has great reviews from other consumers.  It's fully automatic, just plug in and leave it.  The CTEK controls the charging process, it charges according to what the battery needs.  It's not a basic trickle charger, which I read up to find out it can harm your battery.

    -I purchase the following tools from Valvemaster.com, the valve retainer installer/remover and the valve seal plier.  I would have to say both are great tools but especially the installer and remover.  Very simple to use and quick, I also have the traditional clamp style tool for installing and removing the valve retainer and that tool still in the box.  On the left photo I used the tools to remove the valve retainers, springs and valve stem.

    -07.20.2013: So I finally got around to installing a used HKS AFK last month or so, that I purchase last year.  If you are not familar with the HKS AFK, it is an O2 wideband, knock sensor, and O2 similator.  Basically you get three features in one unit.  You can use all three or just one.  If you have a v6 or v8 or any "v" type engine you can run two wideband O2 and it can give you a comparative wideband reading between the two O2 banks.  You can use the O2 simulator if you decide to replace the factory narrow band heated O2 with the wideband.  Just configure it to match the factory O2 output.-This is what the unit looks like, I am missing the knock sensor harness.  According to the previous owner his tuner threw it away claiming it was not needed or something like that.  Just my luck I guess, looks like one day I'll have to try to make a replacement one.  In the photo you will see the harness for the HKS VPC unit also.

    -Here it is installed, fairly simple, just make sure you clean the factory mount bracket with some sort of degreaser or alcohol for better adhesion.  Also trim about 1-2mm off the rubber dam, it will help you when it comes time to install the speaker cover which I found out later in the reassembly, read down to the installation part and you'll understand.

    ==== Wheels and Tires Maintenance ====-Here are some better photos of the wheels and the car itself.  If you like the stretched and flush look then following photos you'll like.  The rear tires are stretched and the quarters were cut to fit the wheel size and tires by the previous owner.

    -This is like the 3rd soak and it only got out this much.  I switch to a bigger container, found a square container, only draw back on soaking is my dump ass forgot to go back and check on it.  The degreaser started to gray out the aluminum like eating at it.  It's not that bad, I rinse it clean in the nick of time but sooner would have been better _ As you can see from the photo the valve seats are pitted from the carbon buildup, no wonder the valve stem was seating bit higher than one would think.

    -Installing speakers and trim panel back in the car.  If you do this upgrade check your hydraulic lift gate shocks.  If it is worn out then you minus well do the replacement of the shocks, only because you will need to remove all the interior (quarter trim panels, trunk trim panels, seat belts) and seats to get to the nuts holding the shocks in place.  I also use the socket/pigtail end on the old speaker side to connect to the new Infinity speakers so I don't have to splice into the factory harness side.  By doing that you can retain the factory socket connection (photo on the right).

    -09.27.2013:  I finally got around to installing these two components about two weeks ago, the HKS VPC & GCC combo unit.  -So here I scavage a used connector from a spare junk 2JZGTE harness.  I used the Intake Air Temperature sensor from the Aristo Manifold.  I actually wanted to use the HKS IAT but needed the money else where in the build.

    ==== Engine Maintenance ====-Replace the drive belt tensioner on the non-turbo 2JZGE, you can see the redesign of the part.  This is pretty much the same for all 2JZ engine.

    ==== Front Speaker Upgrade ====-Here is a little taste at what I am working on for the front door speakers.  Removed the big baffle box that house a small approx. ~3.25"-4" speaker, I didn't take measurements at the time.  I fabricated a bracket that will hold a 6.5" speaker instead

    -Starts up on first try, running a bit rich according to the wideband, but that is okay since it needs to learn.  The ECM has been unplugged so it needs to learn again.  The HKS VPC needs to go through a learning cycle also.  Now that the HKS VPC, GCC, and AFK are installed and working I can switch the HKS EVC to 100% boost instead of 50% boost level.  Now I need to spend some time street tunning and do some normal driving to alow the ECM and the HKS VPC to go through it's learning cycle.  Ofcourse I'll make some adjustment here and there...ahaha
