It's been a while since I post. The Supras have been taking up alot of time.

I'm ordering some parts while my turbo gets rebuilt since I broke and bent some fins on the compressor wheel when the alternator belt broke.

My questions are at the end.

I'm including the details of the build in hopes to get some expert attention and show this isn't just another smoke project.

I'm in the process of adding a meth kit since I've already killed one WB sensor (Bosch that comes with the AEM) in less then 1000 miles due to leaded fuel. I might just switch to a PLX since it holds up better, but not right now.

My questions are:
Axels:
Gator is not really wanting to make me a set unless I go full custom and have a machine shop make the parts he'll put them together. Driveshaft shop is telling me they wont warranty the axels unless I "upgrade" my quaife diff to a zc diff in order to have the larger spline to hold the power. Thoughts comments welcome. New bearing will be pressed in at the time of the new axle install.

Suspension.
What, why, how and where. This won't be a big deal for me until all the bugs are fixed, but since I'm going to spill my guts I might as well get this question out of the way. -- mind you this is for a 96 HX coupe.

Fuel:
At what point will I start running out of fuel from the pump and stock hoses to the engine bay... more out of curiosity.

 

Sounds good man. Wish i had the answers to your questions. SOHC is awesome. Good luck with it all!

 

1. Whats your budget? How much power do you want to make?

2. Whats your budget? A simple set of Koni or Tokico shocks and Ground Controls will do.

3. 255 HP pump with stock lines have supported over 600whp.

dont act like you dont know about the newest tial bov on the market its like a minime

 

haha
hell yea...ima get 4 of them for my WRX

 

DOH! Yeah. it's not a 33mm BOV, I'll look it up.

Zubaltec, budget for what? The suspension? It's as important as it is. I don't want to go on a pro budget either, but funds are available to do it right.

Stock lines to 600hp... interested - thanks for the imput.

 

nice

 

Koni or Tokico shocks and Ground Controls are cheaper and will work for you.
Or you could get a set of Omni powers or Strange shocks if money not an object. These last 2 have been proven this year to work better in an all out race application.
