looks great! can't wait to see it in person!

Put in new motor mounts lastnight, didnt take pics but everyone knows
what they look like.

Cleaned the car today, added bling and placed gauges in better spots:

Added a welded intake and IAC filter:

such a clean car!!!

nice car man

Isnt the IAC sposed to be connected to the charge pipe before the manifold?

So tuning is done for now and the project has a sense of completeness:


First dyno session here the boost controller refused to work:



And after figuring out the EVC just needed some compressed air blown through it
the better results ensued:





I still have to tweak the EVC-S to get that boost more stable instead of peaking
at 14 psi and coming back down to 11 psi.

My injectors are running at below 18ms which is 80% - so there is room to go up
to 18 psi in a month or so and see what happens.

Very nice.. Crazy fast so far!!!

Great work.

I have found a great replacement for the PCV valve bullshart I have been dealing
with - it causes the crank to pressurize over 7 lbs of boost and cause oil drainback
blockages and oil burning.

Here is the solution -


Pictured here on the left and a piece of junk the mazda BP05 PCV valve which retails
at your local dealer for close to 40 dollars. On the right the Mark 4 Turbo Supra PCV
valve which holds any boost you throw at it and has been redesigned recently, also
all metal (they are 12 dollars):




and installed:

Beautiful work! I just spent the past how ever long it took reading through the 13 pages of this work log. I've been researching the BP-t and that's become my goal for the swap, however I feel I am no where near at inclined as yourself or most others on this site. I have only 'tinkered' with cars and such but never got more indepth. This is going to be a great journey and hopefully I don't break anything along the way, and just might ask for a few helping hands to anyone that's near the area.
From Nov. 7th of 07 to current is a long time for a build and you've made every day count. Great job.

This ride is top NOTCH

Hows she runnin?

Runs like a champ. 9-10L/100km boosting everywhere
and 8L/100km on the highway

wow thats what i get with my k8. nice job.

Nice work. How was Riemer to work with? He's building my pal's 7MGTE right now for his MKI Supra.
