Hi boys.
How im only new here, I thought i'd tell you about my car.
It's a 80 Rx5, running a 13b street port turbo. The turbo is a Garret TO4 on 15pound. It's my daily driving car.
The 13b came from a series 5 Rx7 and had it fully rebuilt. New rotors, new housing, balanced sharft, new seals all around and street ported.
TO 4 Turbo PacPerformance specs.
Brand new big front cover with 4 inch inlet.
All turbo, oil and water lines custom made.
600 HP EFI Fuel pump
Surge Tank
Two pre pumps.
42mm Waste Gate.
Custom Exhaust Manifold.
Custom front engine mount.
MicroTech LTX 8 includes 4 coils.
K & N air filter.
Hi flow injectors, 2x 850 primaries and 2x 1280 secondaries
Adjustable fuel pressure regulator.
Gearbox: Toyota Supra 5 speed steel case, with billet steel lightened flywheel, new ring gear, 1 tonne steel pressure plate, new high tension bolts solid brass, 4 puk clutch plate 8.5"diameter.
Balanced tail sharft with new uni joints.
Ford 9inch diff, 35 spline axles.
Alloy girlock fully reconditioned commodore calipers, with ventilated 10 inch brake disc.
I've got a pic of her when she came home from the painters, and another of her inside.
Don't forget, she not finished yet and i've got tyres on her now, 17x8 at the front and 17x9 at the back.
The interior needs some work, but she's a working project. The bad thing is, I don't have Luis (RIP) to help me anymore.
Thanks Mike

Sure.
It's just a stadard supra box with the mounts changed to adapt to the car. Had the original mounting holes position changed on the car.

Not sure what year. Ordered it from my mechanic and he made the mods and put it in. He said it good for around the 500 to 550 hp. I'll probably never have the car running that hard anyways. I'm hoping once it's finished, to get it on a dyno and see if she get's to 400hp.

Came with owners H/B, dealer service records and all the vouchers & literature you get with a new car, in a plastic wallet with 'Toyo Kogyo' on it..... 28 years old!
