Here are a couple of pics.

It's a 98 US spec gte with 30k miles on it

I've removed the fuel pulsation dampener and I'm replacing with a -6an line to help feed the beast. Also waiting for my egr block off plates as well. Might as well do all of this stuff while the motor is out of the car much easier to get at!

Hey Chris,

Can you tell me where the oil cooler taps into the coolant system? The TT oil cooler fits right on top of the NA oil filter bracket, and I'm thinking about buying one (oil cooler) for my NA-T conversion.

Thanks,

Scott, I didn't forget about you Sorry for the delay though. Yesterday I finally got a chance to work on the car.

Here is a pic of where the oil cooler taps into the block ( on the left side) then exits and to the right the hose connects to a metal tube that wraps around the back of the block. I hope this picture helps.

I finally got the motor and 5spd back in the car. It's so awesome to know the car will be running SOON.
Now we just need all the snow and salt to melt

Thanks Ken. Actually, the 6spd and rear will be coming as next winters project. I had to space out the project a bit. Seeing that they are pretty envolved, I just wanted to enjoy the car this spring and summer with the motor, then while it's back in storage over next winter, I'll do the single, fuel, and 6spd
It's been a pretty long process, however, I'm doing it right. LOTS of new parts from Toyota. I figured while the motor was out, why not.
Good luck with your project as well. If you ever need any help, just let me know.

Scott,
Not a problem. Hope it helped.

Chris,

According to the '93 Supra new car feature book, the oil cooler picks up the coolant from the block. In the picture you provided, the coolant "feed" line is the one on the left that's visible. Can you tell if there's a coolant bung on the block? If you still have your ge motor, can you give me an idea of whether or not that bung can be tapped for the coolant feed?

Thanks,
-scott

Where do you guys get the drive shaft to mate up the 6speed tranny to rear pumpkin?
one post said the stock one can be shortened? is that correct?

Ken
