1993.5 Toyota Supra Hardtop

Been my dream car since I was 15

Parked where she'll sit for two very long years

Non-turbo 2JZ, so sad

What do we have here?

Grand reveal!

Overnight parts from Japan!

Begin the teardown!

It's officially broke.

Unbolt, pull out, throw across garage, repeat.

Camless

"Just stand in there, and yank it out" -John

Hnnnrrrrgh

Weight reduction achieved!

Headless

Down to the block!

"My car will never run again." -Me

Polishing the head, Gran Turismo says it adds 50hp

Time to rebuild! New headgasket for starters!

Head back on

Carbon fiber timing belt, jk

Almost looks like an engine again!

Scored a really sweet exhaust on Craigslist, one of the earliest Blitz Supra exhausts

JASMA tag says it's a 93 (same age as Supra) and it is Japanese street-legal

Trying to get an idea how to line intercooler up

Intake/Exhaust manifold mounted, plus the spinny thing I want so badly!

Intercooler test-fit

Intake-side pipe mounted

It was either AC delete or cut a hole in my car, I cut a hole in my car

Intercooler mounted

Fuel pump upgrade

"John! It doesn't reach! WeoWeoWeo!"

Wiring suxxorz

Running main power cable to mount battery in the hatch

Showing the second hole I drilled in my car, to get the battery cable through the firewall

Milling out a spot for the battery to sit where the stock sub was

Like a glove!

Ah, the elusive "dolphin sneeze" BOV, you are finally mine!

Mounted

AEM Standalone: the brains behind the operation

So close!

Battery mounted

Final cleanup

Finally complete!

Complete finally!

Now to see if it blows up, to the tuner!

Few things feel cooler than fueling up your trailered Supra

It didn't blow up! Not even a little!
