PaRaDoX's MA71 Manual Turbo Targa Supra

[PaRaDoX]

its more of a big game of memory + lego

these silly jap blocks are a puzzle!, its fairly simple atm but when i get the head back on it will be a hell of alot more confusing, thank god im fitting the head on the engine stand!

PS: luke's car is crazier!

can anyone recommend a good alloy fabricator in Melbourne's Eastern Suburbs? i need my plenum modified..

LOL sounds like another manifold job for me pm me if your interested i'm more than happy to give it a shot turn around isnt very quick though but im cheap

I had a look at some pictures and did a bit of reading on the net seems alternator is in the way of most Front facing setups although i cant find any pictures of modified stock ones. Seems theres a a bracket needed to drop the alternator down a little to get clearance.
Another option it seems is to relocate battery and go around the alternator

im handy with the arc welded and i have the motor out of the car plus a dummy rig anyway to build it on ill sort the bracket out

ps i was going to relocate the alternator where my aircon once was its the way the 1jz/2jz is setup, my plan was to use a plate to block off where the throttle bolts up and but the side of the plenum and weld a flange on there ill put some pics up 2nite!

yeah cool i can cut the old one off and weld it up smooth it out and you wont even know its was there reuse old flange at the front with alternator moved will make it a lot easier

Your CAd drawing skills are better than mine seems like a well thought design i like it

MS PAINT FTW! hehehe, it just makes sense, toyota designed it back to front. the 1jz /2jz had the right idea!

Top Hat + best mod in that picture

This is my CAD aka mspaint effort giving me a rough idea of what i was going to do (and doing) to geoff's (Wagon Wheel's) v8 manifold its almost done i leave the unveiling and pictures for geoff to put up when he gets it.
