Engine Prep for Turbo
 |
| engine |
I first started off by drilling out the oil return hole in the aluminum oil pan. This was a
a little harder than on my GS300. On the GS300, you can remove the oil pan without pulling
the motor. This in not the case on the supra, so you have to be careful not to get aluminum
filings in the engine. I was not this carefull, and ended up pulling the motor to finish the job.
Not a big deal since I was changing the head gasket anyway with a Cometic 1.9mm head gaset and ARP
head studs.
Turbo Setup
 |
| turbo |
For now I am using an XSPower T61(70mm) turbo and going to push it for all it's worth.
The turbo feed line is a -4an custom steel braided teflon line that comes from a modified oil filter
bolt that was drilled and tapped for the -4an fitting. The return also uses a custom
fit -10an steel braided teflon line. The XSPower manifold was also clocked in order for the
4" intake of the turbo to clear the distributor.
Exhaust
 |
| Exhaust |
The downpipe is a 3" stainless pipe from the XS kit, then modified to fit the clocked turbo. A custom
made 3"-4" adapter was made to bolt up the 4" exhaust. The exhuast is made from 4" 409 Stainless
tailpipe. The tailpipes utilize mandrel bends, and are cut then re-welded to get the desired exhaust
shape.

The 4" exhaust ais then fed through a 4" strait through muffler. It is rather noisy, and will
probably find a nice chamberd muffler to help reduce the noise. For daily driving, it gets annyoing
quickly, causing any loose object in the car to rattle. WOT sounds really nice though. I will
probably use a v-band for rapid swap out.
Intake Manifold
 |
| Intake |
The intake is a custom made intake using 4" aluminum piping, and 1/4" aluminum sheet metal.
Velocity stacks were manual spun out of 3" bar stock on a manual lathe, then flow tested
within 2cfm. The stock NA manifold was cut short, and the aluminum plate was cut out with a hold

saw to fit each runner, then welded. Each velocity stack was then welded to the top of each runner.
Using several specified pieces of 1/4" aluminum sheet, the manifold was assembled and welded together
to form a nice tapered design to the thottle body plate. A Q45 flange was used for the larger 90mm
Q45 throttle body.
