your e-brake set-up and what you have done with the pcv valve (can't really tell in the pics)

 

[BRIAN_MP5T]

The E-Brake is Hydraulic and there is no PCV.

Today, as unimpressive as it sounds, I took the Castle Nut off each drive shaft and removed them. I had tried in the past with an impact, however they were the OEM drive shafts so they were "Really On". I used a 1 1/4 HP grinder to literally cut the nut and used a pry bar to split the nut. The rest is history.
I am working on getting the dash out so that I can do a proper job of mounting all the stuff to the firewall. I am also going to get the engine bay ready for paint.

I'm surprised you had such trouble removing the axles from the hubs. Luckily I've only had to remove one of those nuts on my rustbucket, but it came off easily using a 1m long pipe on a breaker bar. The axle also slipped out after minimal persuasion with a BFH.

Anyway, now that you have the axles out are you going to be replacing them with something beefier?

Only beefier axles I know of are the Mazdaspeed

unless you have a custom made set, which iirc Brian has..

interesting...is this true brian? if so where did you get them and how much? more options are always better.

 

[BRIAN_MP5T]

No, they were too much of a pain in the ass to get custom..

I bought OEM MSP

Very nice

No anti- surge? Just cheap insurance...Still looks amazing!

 

[BRIAN_MP5T]

Anit Surge has no buisness being on a 2.0L boosted by a GT3071..

I spoke directly to Garrett Tech and they said that on a 1001 HP Supra... Yes.. Surge.. On this car.. Never a possibility.

 

[big Lou]

Really? I had small surge when they dyno-ed my car.. I would just rather be on the safe side.

 

[Spiced MSP]

Doesn't Brian(signature sound) have the anti surge machining done to his turbo?

 

[AzteCypher]

That, my good man, is a work of art.

 

[BRIAN_MP5T]

I think it will be fine

 

[big Lou]

What's next on the list?

 

[dacquesta1]

Nos!!!!

 

[BRIAN_MP5T]

What's next on the list?

Well, I wanted to see if it would fit..

The nice people at Steed Speed seem to have made the manifold go out on an angle away from the engine, There is easily one inch all around which is fantastic news.


I was obviously very interested to see if it looked like it would fit... One thing I noticed is that I need longer ARP Manifold Studs.. The SteedSpeed is a thick

that set-up is massive compared to mine. What happens to the upper 02 sensor with that set-up?

Damn, I leave the community. Come back to see this and make me miss my msp again. It was fun while it lasted.
