    No Dodge, but Turboed.

    With work and bill problems I had to sell both Turbo Dodges to a great turbo Dodge guy locally. I am now "slowly" working on my 2.5 liter 87 Supra with a 2.75" stroke. Body guy, http://www.krausebrosinc.com is working on straightening the panels and priming and I have been sanding and sanding and sanding and sanding! I picked a Blue and he came up with a wicked paint! 70 hours in sanding the crappy sun beaten Maco paint off the car. Took out the Toyota CT26 57 trim turbo and crappy manifold to install the XS Power turbo header, which worked out great, along with the big 60mm Holset HX40 turbo and fitment is great. Maybe another year it will be done! Here are some pics:

    Looks f'in sweet! Love Toyotas from that era; still have dreams of dropping a motor just like that into a Cressida...

    Thanks for the compliments! The Cressida is a good candidate for the 1j or 2j engine. Having a hard time finding clutch packs for the auto without paying IPT over $600 bucks. Running the trans with a stand-alone tunable ecu that will manual shift from paddles. Installed AMG Mercedees paddles into the stock JDM steering wheel. Hitting the NORM/POWER trans button into POWER mode activates the paddle shifts. Engine is run from Megasquirt ecu I built. Will post more pics of car later.
