Customer Car - Wade T - 1985 Supra w/ 7mgte

WadeT,

Why did you position the turbo at such an angle like that ?

I assume clearance issues but what exactly had you put it like you did.

Thanks,

Scott

Good question. I wanted that look originally. Since the chimp fabricated it I asked him to give that higher angled look which is some function some aesthetics so it worked out nice. Garney could answer that actual how to's to make it happen. But it turned out exactly how I wanted w/ paying $$$$ for a header manifold.

As Wade stated, he wanted the turbo positioned like that. I love the look too. Ya open the hood...and BLAM..get smacked in the eyeballs w/ a nicely sized turbo. Really, that was the only reason..that..and I didn't want to build a turbo header for 1/8th the cost of what they would normally go for. I never built a fixture for the adaptor. He's got lots of one-off stuff on his car. I'll be working on his car again soon enough, and will consider building a fixture. I've got a lot of CT26 turbo inlet flanges to sell anyway.

Also, how much for the t04 adapter ?

Thanks,

kewl, thanks for the replies.

I may try to weld one up myself, I have a t04 flange already so I might go for it.

I'll sell the CT26 inlet flanges for $25.00 shipped.

hey aaron? how muc money would it cost if i asked you to do that very same setup for me. i live in california and in fact...you are actually about to put my friends 6mge into his car next saturday...ill be there too. (2-25-06).....if you could let me know so i can save up and pay you to do it for me i would GREATLY apprecciate that. i want a nice reliable and fast car. i would be willing to pay as long as i knew someone as reliable as you were working on it.

In April of 2006, the car made 420 rwhp w/ 16psi on the T61. Siiick!

This would be my dream setup. High horsepower without having to go to high boost. I had the money saved up to do something like this until I lost two rings. The $2600 I had saved will now go toward a new sort block from Toyota. It's like starting all over.
