Month: April 2017

Soooo I’ve been slacking on updates due to work but for an update Injector clips are now finished and the upper intake was put back on.

The warble 450lph was installed but ill be going back in to redo somethings,Then the FSR Turbo kit arrived and its installed as well!

I’ll post the pics and comments below.

Injector Clips:

1. See the white clip in the middle of the plug    

2. Get a pick/something with a fine point and pry it out

3. Be sure to pry it all the way out and set it aside.

4. Now you pry up on the locks inside to pull the wires

4. What it looks like when there are all pulled out

5. This point you can cut/splice the wire to replace the pin or whatever you’d like for the new clip

— This is how I wired mine… blue tape.. was just because.

6. Then all buttoned up! 

If anyone has any questions let me know!

 

As for the fuel pump.. it was really really straight forward

 

Turbo kit Install…

Man… I really wish I took my time but it was that SIMPLE lol

Which means all I have is a semi finished and finished haha

took a total of 2 hours to put in… 1 hour and 30 mins was spent clocking the turbo right and setting up the water lines

Progress is being made!

• Started installing my injectors… Not too bad but I wish I was better prepared.

With the injector collars that came with the injectors they will not be able to fit when using the stock fuel rail so those couldn’t be use. I wish I would have bought stock injectors O-rings since the ones that come on the injectors are too small to seat properly so I had to reuse those. Other than that all was good!

^ These bad boys didn’t work out

^ All installed

^ Now for the wiring… Still in progress

• Finally my fuel pump arrived! Walbro 450LPH
• Last but not least… the turbo kit..its shipped!
• 

It’s been 11 solid days since the removal of the twins on the Supra and well… Still no sign of my single turbo kit. I ordered the FSR Street Torque kit from Drift Motions (Really awesome place to get parts for the Supra/1JZ/2JZ guys) almost a month ago along with other small things. I called them a couple days ago and they said they need to fabricate the wastage dump tube.  So I’ll be finishing up my AEM V2 install along with the AEM Failsafe Wideband. I have some Sard 850cc drop-in injectors and the 450lph Walbro fuel pump still on its way here also that I’m waiting on as well.

 

Overall, I just don’t have the motivation since my turbo isn’t on the way although I should finish all the supporting things so when the kit arrives its literally install and drive!

Shoutouts to, Bryan Sees for the AEM V2 and Sard Injectors then Driftmotions for everything else! Can’t forget the awesome family/friends I have supporting all of this and the page!

I feel horrible for not taking as many pics as I should have but I was in the zone… the busting my knuckles and getting tired of my car zone.

I’ll put a super generic list of the order I did things.

As a starter I’m not liable for anything on your car. This is strictly what I did and the car was on jack stands(x2 only front) in my garage. I have a basic tool kit but the only special tools I have is ratcheting wrenches that came in help!

Tools I used:

Wrench/Socket sizes- 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 19mm

Rachet extension(s)< plural!

Rachet joint

Pry bar 8″
1. PBS Blast or Liquid Wrench Penetrating Oil the whole exhaust/turbo side… of its a bolt if should be drowning in this stuff. Let it sit for awhile before you start working on the car. I let mine sit for maybe 3-4 hours only because I was eating and getting last minute things.

2. Remove intercooler piping as well as air intake on that side. Also remove the stock recirculation BOV.

3. Next remove the vacuum line tube on top of the turbo.. should be a couple 10mm bolts and I literally pulled it out for the two lines that went behind the block. Also unclip all plugs around this area.

3. Then I took off the all the intake piping off the front turbo. It will be 2 parts to it.

4. Will be remove downpipe from turbos. Then remove upper downpipe 3 bolts and the valve will fall off with it… after that you should be good octopus around and loosen all the bolts to the turbos and manifold.

5-10. Loosen ever bolt on the manifold and downpipe as well. You will want to take off front turbo. Then middle section

. Then rear.. then all the bolts should come off fairly easy..
Of course this is easier said then done but I didn’t take enough pics to make this accurate

Soo my name is Ricky Parrish, born and raised in Las Vegas, NV. Cars and racing were in my DNA with 3 Generations of confirmed gear heads.

I left Vegas at the age of 18 to go work in Japan. I stayed there for 6 years and I just recently moved to Germany for a couple years. I’ve grown up to love and respect all things cars. If you put work into it I can appreciate it even it isn’t my style. I love racing of all sorts although my personal favorite is circuit and drifting.
Enough about me… let get back to car stuff
PA Unlimited

I’m currently living in Germany and the one thing they are famous for is the Autobahn. The one place where you can press the gas pedal to the floor and keep going without the worry of a speed limit(In some areas). Well, that sign that lets you do that is called “No-Limit” or “End of all speed or passing limits”. Or if you like to simplify things like me UNLIMITED. This one sign makes all car drivers and enthusiast go wild because not only is on the freeway but that is also what makes Nürburgring Nordschleife amazing! Surprisingly there is speed limits on the track but of course most of it is UNLIMITED.

So there you have the last piece of the Puzzle!

Well the “PA” stands for Parking Area or the Japanese side of the name. It doesn’t stand for show car or nothing like that. It comes from my experience out in Japan and how the PAs are huge part in the car scene. It is a popular place were people all over will come to gather and just enjoy the car culture. Its that place where if you are going to a track and you need a place to meet that’s on the way. It’s where some of the most iconic places to do street racing or even expressway racing was held. Parking Areas in Japan are just the place to be.

Some have heard of PA Tatsumi right? The small parking lot where exotics and tuners go to do a small circuit race on the expressway! Or what about DAIKOKU FUTOOOOOO!! The famous place where the roads create 3 story loop over the parking area and hosts some of the biggest local car meets… or street drifting!

As you can see from my time in Japan Parking Areas were life!

If anyone has their own experiences feel free to share!
