Satisfying Land Cruiser 80 gear and locker install. Hours of work summed up in 30 seconds. Also, I’m tired of using instagrams “trending” audio. Gonna use what I want. Enjoy @thestorysofarca as the background music.

The question is…to Turbo-A duct or not to Turbo-A duct!? Previous owner cut the bumper up… bumper support bar will be black in either configuration. Whatcha think? Also, little does Steve know I done already spent all my money, time, and resources… and it runs 🤷‍♂️🫡

Got the engine back from machine work over at @northwestmotormachine! New pistons, BTR valve springs and seals, valves, heads and block resurfaced, and everything else is ready to go! We were able to get away with just a hone in the cylinders. You always hear about Toyota reliability, but you can’t discount the LS platform. This is a 6.0 LQ4 out of a service truck with 270k miles and the factory cylinder bore and main/rod journals were all in spec. Also peep that @briantooleyracing torque cam. 🫡

Rusted out spare tire carrier on the Supra is fixed! Sometimes you gotta know your limits and outsource the work to people who have the experience. This was one of those cases. Sheet metal work is an art, and @originalhammerdowncustoms did a great job with this! And huge shoutout to @mk3_supra_parts for making a deal with me on the tire carrier!

I thought these tacomas were supposed to last forever? 😂 Uncle Rodney is knocking at the door at 97k miles! Haha

Massive engine failure on a 2021 Tacoma. Has to be a rod or main bearing. Thing sounds like a bag of rocks

This might be the best standalone ECU mounting solution. Hollow out your old factory ECU, mount the standalone inside the hollowed out frame, and mount to the factory location. Simple, easy, cheap! This is an example mounting an ecumaster emu black in my mk3 Toyota Supra.

Little pull in the MK3 Supra after fixing all the boost leaks. What an amazing feeling to finally drive this car after putting so much time, energy, (and money) into it. 100% worth it! The adrenaline rush this Supra gives me is insane. Probably because I’m nervous she’s going to break after all this work, but also just so excited to finally drive it!

Car is a RHD JZA70 with a built 1.5JZ.

How to find vacuum leaks on your car using a smoke machine! I bought this one from @autolinepro on Amazon. Works great! You can also spray brake cleaner around the intake manifold, but this is easier. Can also be used to find exhaust leaks, test aero/design concepts where you need to “see” air, and all sorts of other issues.

Getting better at this fabrication thing! New dump pipe welded up for the Supra! Using a @turbosmarthq Hypergate 45 lite. Smaller wastegate provided clearance I needed for the rhd steering shaft.

#mk3supra #supra #fabrication #2jz #boost

Clearances are super tight but fits well. Good clearance from engine block, steering shaft, downpipe, engine mount, etc.

Tig welding the dump pipe using my makeshift purge setup, @mfurick bbw cup, .035 filler rod, and a slow pulse because I’m still learning.

Final fitment. Fits good! Still loud as hell, might recirculate it later by @_rmgarage

How to find oil leaks on your car with UV dye and a flashlight. Takes the guesswork out if you can’t find where it’s coming from. Side note… of course my 1JZ valve covers leak 😂 #diy #howto #tipsandtricks #tips #mechanic taken in Idaho, USA by @_rmgarage
