I am new here, not trying to be a smartass, but i happen to have experience with the M series engines.

i can help you with the cams, and throttle bodies.

if you can grind cams, then i think that you can advance your exhaust from the stock 230, to 242.

for the intake leave it stock.

will work well with a 8:3:1 compression and will give the top-end needed to reach 170 MPH.

but you will have to reprogram your ECU, Fuel injectors upgrade to 42 lbs.

i did this with my old MX83 Cressida, with 10:6:1 compression, and Individual throttle bodies.

also i swapped the crank to the JDM 6M ( not to look cool, but because there was no heavy counterweights on cylinder 2 and 5 (not sure about 5, maybe 3 it's been a long time .)

i also fixed the troublesome gasket problem, i used longer heads studs.

Sounds like you know your stuff i was actually going with 264 cam regrinds since itll work a little better with the 20G turbo im currently running and later on a T-66, as for fuel ill be running a piggy back when i get bigger injectors so i got that covered. The 6M crank doesnt have counter weights on cyl 2 and 5 you are correct there sir. Btw are you the one that built that insane white Cressida that reved to high heaven?

The main problem with the 6M crank is at higher RPMS theres alot of vibrations GT-R's have a problem with this as well. It makes good for revving faster and higher, and its really hard to find a 6M crank that doesnt have a lot of wear and tear. I had a 6M but decided to trade for a 7M crank just to be safe.

Oil change time

Woot, a man who knows what oil/filter is best!

Im not to firmiliar with the 6M, what Toyota did it come in and what are the specs? Displacment, configuration ect.

Im runnig off to work, so Im in a rush >.<

the 6M was pretty much in short the prototype for the 7M. It came in the 86 Celica XX in japan it was identical to the 7MGE only it had a 5M head on it and bigger 5M style pistons.

i built three 7M-GEU, one that went into a MX83, and two others I sold them to people who asked me to build them.

but the MX83 was Silver not white, and it revved till 10K RPM safely.

as far as your turbo setup stick with the 20G, it can boost up at lower RPM, from 2000 RPM. the T66 is good for about 600HP, the peak flow is 70-72 pounds/minute.

so if you'll be turning up the boost, better stick with the TD06-20G, less expensive and more reliable.

264 deg seems a bit to high for your setup, you need low end power especially when you are running hi boost, 264 will delay your boost too much, it will be like a T5 volvo, good mid-high power but crappy low end.

as for the piggyback, it's simply not my style, because i try to keep the voltage/amperage consumption low, that way less power will be drawn to drive the alternator under load.

Well to be honest my cam options include stock, 250 and 264 regrinds, of the 7M's ive seen run 264's they make full boost by 2800-3200rpms and pull the power a lot more in the 3000-6500 range. The car is being built for speed, losing a little low end isnt that bad, not as bad as the 7M i rode in with 272's slow out of boost but at 25psi things got crazy, the lag time was a bit to long for me so i figured id meet in the middle somewhere. Yeah i plan to stay with the 20G for quite some time one it was free and two its a good turbo. Goals are listed somewhere in the thread to lazy to go and look. I eventually will upgrade to a GReddy T78 kit and most likely motec when the time comes.

*sniff sniff* AHHHHHH

-Raindrops are falling on my head- 
Thats what you sang everytime they leaked? 

Ahh, that new weatherstripping smell...

Free bump.

I know alot has happened with the car, post something up bro.

dude, that shit's tight.

TBH, don't change the wheels out; I've always for some odd reason dug those classic A70 rims.


If you did, well shame on you.....


j/k


I think HateSkylines speaks for all of us when he says we want to see what progress has been made!

New targa seals are on and THEY DONT LEAK (heavens shine down upon me)

old seals nasty









Two days later it floods and i get a little bit of water in my car (mother f***er)















all this water came out the exhaust

Took some pics with my friends 89 Supra Turbo today after we washed our cars.









maybe its just me but the Pre89 rear end is looking REALLY good in this pic in comparison to the 89+

Im sdo sorry about the flood. I had no idea it was really that bad when you told me, but it soaked through the carpet, .5 in. thick sound deadener and baffles...and it still was over your carpet.

I love the mini-photoshoot. You need simaler wheels like your friends '89 has!

I like the '89+ front better, but I cont decide on which back I like better now! I used to be set on the post '89.

2nd pic from the bottom is a good example comparison of Genuine JDM Foglamps (on my car) vs 3000K HID (on my friends foglamps)

Only 3000k? It looks decently bright.

I wanna be able to drive with my foglights!

I'd like to put foglamps in mine, but I think it would look dumb if I put them in the brake cooling ducts (especially since I plan to make them functional).

Yo...this car looks familiar, are you on SupraMania?

Judging by your name, you and JDMMA70 (Derek) will get along just fine!

you are correct its hard to miss a two tone supra haha

Haha...I Panda'd my Supra. I sold it recently. Had to pay for school. I totally regret it. I'm A to the J on SupraMania. I used to work for Kaizen. I'm not on too much anymore since I sold it. But I have an SC shell sitting around and a 1.25JZ that I'm waiting for Jose to give me

GL on the build!

I picked up a used set of sawblades that im going to refinishes and ill post it up as a DIY for anyone that may want to give it a shot on their old worn rims.

Stay posted for pics.

Pics started on one of the rims

I havent removed the tired yet but i will when i start to paint.

Starting with this, to make everything easier get some aircraft remover or some sort of paint stripper to strip the paint off, however since these were already stripped (previous owner wanted to polish them) ill just show the step after that.


You may or may not get all the paint off the previous owner didnt remove all the paint off so now we're left with this.




Time to break out the sandpaper 320 grit will do just fine






Now sand the edges and lip


Done all thats left is to degrease the hard to get areas and make sure everything is clean, flat and level.


I decided to clean out the 20yr old brake dust couldnt get it all out ill get some heavy duty degreaser for that.






Next step will be primer ill cover that next.

My favorite wheels will it be white or originally what it was?

OEM silver

What about the pitting?

No offense, but I think those wheels are ugly The '88 I had sported those, never did like them.
