Fixing MAJOR Mistakes I Made During My Crazy 4-Day Toyota Supra Build (OOPS!)

Hey guys, my name is tsavorite and if you remember, a few weeks ago my good friend Jared and I took this 120 horsepower naturally aspirated Toyota Supra and turned it into a single turbocharged beast in about four days and after Those four days are over. This car sounded great, it was running great, it pulled really hard and it looked good, it looks like this and from the 2.1 million people who watched that video, I got a ton of questions asking me what I'm going to do to make it happen. car one hundred percent and today I am going to answer those questions by solving all the problems that arose during those four days of construction.

Yes I think there may be some screws loose so if you're new to my channel thank you so much for I really hope you enjoyed it and if you consider subscribing I'm really excited that this is at 100% because that means it's ready to go to the paint shop and ready to look good and speaking of looking good, that gives me a great transition.

If you download Rise of Kingdoms from the video description below, you will get 200 gems, two silver keys, 2x 50,000 wood. and two s 50,000 food so go watch it in the video description below right now and we start here in the engine bay. You'll have to excuse the background noise of a fan running if I don't have them on. I literally melt, it is very hot in Florida in the summer, especially in this store, yes it is very hot, but speaking of things that get too hot, we need to replace this radiator.

This radiator is new, but sometimes when you get new things, they don't. It's not really working as intended, this radiator had a leak and it's coming from one of the fins so it's not something I can see soldering or even soldering so I'll have to replace it and it's actually not that big. I'm trying because since I'm replacing it I can fill it with the correct coolant because when I filled it with coolant I didn't put the correct one in. I'm actually using this pico material the original equipment technology for Asian vehicles and you have 1990 and up Toyota this is exactly what you need so I'm going to do the whole cooling system and we're going to take out all the coolant but another reason why I will take out all the coolant because I don't have any. a temperature gauge is working right now and that is because the temperature gauge connection is not connected.

I don't have a temperature sensor here and well I have a temperature sensor for the ECU but I don't have one for the gauge, this is like a split system it's a little weird but I have a new sensor. I'm going to plug it in but now we have to take everything out. I'll show you the new radiator that I have, it's a little more robust than this one and Hopefully, it shouldn't develop a leak like this and then we'll have a nice cool car even in this hundred degree Florida heat, so here's the radiator, side by side this is a new Mission Moto from here, it didn't come from here, it's actually I arrived like this, there was a leak on the inside of the fins, so it's not something you can tape up or weld or anything, but if you take a look at the Mishimoto, they have bosses additional here, I think the tabs are where they should be and it's usually a lot more polished than this, it's like raw aluminum and comes polished right out of the box, this is a little more expensive, shipping is about three hundred and fifty dollars and it's only I wanted to make sure that this is exactly what I need, so we're going to put this in, but before I fill it with coolant, I'm going to do that temperature sensor and that's this little one here, this is what tells the gauge how how hot or how cold the car is and there are actually two of these so this is what tells the ECU how hot or cold the car is and it's strange that they don't work with the same sensor but to remove the bolts, put this in and then plug everything in and then we should have a working temperature gauge as well, since it's getting coolant in, I'm going to use some thread sealant to make sure this doesn't leak.

Well, the cars started. I'm burping up all the coolant. Look how red it is and let's see if the temperature sensor. It works and yes, it records temperature, so that's a very good start. Now I just have to get the tachometer and speedometer working and also maybe clean some of these things, including this steering wheel. Okay, so we can make the tachometer. In fact, I did a lot of research and it turns out that the wiring I had is completely correct and the reason it doesn't work is because this used to be a naturally aspirated car and the signal that the tachometer was getting from the engine is a little different than that of a turbo car and it's a little different even with a standalone ECU because it receives the signal from the tachometer a little differently but what that means is I have to do a little bit of wiring work to get this to work and to get to the tachometer I think which is the back and to get to that I have to basically remove everything in front of me, but I'll have to do it anyway. because I'm going to be replacing a lot of this stuff so let's get it right so here's the back of the tack and I figured out what to do thanks to Trevor from Ocean Auto TV.

I watched his video on how to do it. this and it's pretty simple all I have to do is decide this and there's a resistor here and I just have to put a little wire in line to connect it and hopefully the tack should work. Our attack is in the car and here. It's the moment of truth, oh yeah, amazing, so although the technology works, I think the scale is a little off, maybe I could do something with the ECU about it, because if I give it a little throttle, It seems a little high. especially if I give it a little bit, yeah, that's not speeding up to 9 thousand dollars, so this is what I'm going to do.

I have my software open and I have the low side output set up and I'm just going to tweak some settings here, so Right now, this is too high, so let's see what I can do here. I put it one step down, it's okay, so it's a little better according to the ECU. I meant 1287 rpm, so that's still a little high. Good, progress. I've played around with some settings and Jared actually helped me out a bit because after all he's a super guru and he told me to change these settings: These are the ls5 frequency in Hertz and ls5 is the low side output and that's the output for the tachometer, so we just changed them a little bit and

made

sure that what the ECU was seeing here as far as engine speed was what the tachometer was seeing and now, oh yeah, now the tack works totally fine.

That looks amazing now what I have to do is basically put the whole interior back together and maybe do something with this steering wheel. Okay, crash course on how to remove the steering wheel from a car. The first step is to remove the negative battery terminal. You definitely don't want anything to happen to the airbag system, especially while you're working on it. There are some bolts here. These are torques, usually they are tamper-proof torques, but they are not tamper-proof, so we can manipulate them. put in the t30 bit and fight with the camera because everyone who does this is also making a youtube video now we have some shopping and we go to town like this and boom the dynamite sounds like this now keep in mind that these screws do not support all the output at least they're not supposed to so I think I'll be able to get this out just fine, that side out, this side out and you can see there's a connector right here just undo this guy and you'll know the airbag is off. . from there and what we need to do here is unclip our BAM wiring harness which is for the cruise control.

I don't think we have that so it's not going to recoil so I think it's nineteen millimeters and we have it on an impact pistol. here and just give it a few pops boom and it's out, you don't want to pull this all the way out because we're going to pull the steering wheel a lot of times, you can have a steering wheel puller and you can look at the bosses here, sometimes it's easier to just pull the steering wheel out from its slot. There's a little slot here so you don't hit yourself in the face while removing it.

Make sure this nut is still there. Okay, I'll give it a good pop and let's see if it comes loose one, two, three, yeah, okay, I actually think it's loose, let's check. Oh, honey, and here we go. This is a steering wheel removed, but now I know what you're doing. You're thinking, hey, that's what Porsche is doing while you're getting this far and why are you so sweaty? Well number two it's really hot and number one I have one of these this is an Altezza steering wheel from Japan so in Altezza it's basically the Japanese version of the Lexus is 303 Lee really cool now one thing I don't like it's the fact that it has these grayish silver reinforcements.

I don't like it very much this is just paint and I think I can remove it but you guys can tell me how to remove it because it already started to come off and I used some interesting methods they used some mineral spirits but that softens the leather so you can tell me how can I remove this paint without repainting it. I don't want to repaint it, let's remove this airbag, let's remove this airbag, let's be - now, if the airbag is off, I can insert it now, usually cars have a little keyway . here to make sure you can't do it wrong, you can't misalign it, you can actually misalign it, so you want to make sure your wheels are straight and your watches are straight.

I have not done it. I touched my watchspring so I know this is straight and parallel, it is a flywheel installed, however we need to put an air bag in it. One thing you may have noticed is the fact that it has a different plug in the airbag than the one in my car. What's happening? Do I have to splice in a new harness or something because I don't want this airbag to explode in my face? What happens if I'm wrong? So Yoda, in his infinite wisdom, has done this. This is a patch harness for an older style plug to a newer style airbag.

Also this is a Toyota OEM and this is a secondary harness so it's a harness like that. Place the lock there. Now our harness is plugged in. Boom. Look how it looks. Much better, I just need to figure out how to remove this paint and yeah, this doesn't look so good. I also have to take the center cap off and put ATO on one, this just comes off and a little Easter egg, a little Tylenol. It's right there. I'm going to leave it on for now until I can find a solution for this, maybe you guys can let me know if there is a specific size I need, maybe I can get a hub cap to go to the center cap.

I don't know, but let me know in the comments now. The last thing I have to do is put in all the new interior parts and I have a lot of new interior parts and I'll go over them after I install them, but I know some of you that have had some questions about the car now this right here this white color or rather metallic this is not because the wheel hit it, obviously I took a look at the distance from my caliper to my wheel and

made

sure it was within spec now there is a considerable gap here.

I just took a small angle grinder with a sanding wheel and made a small incision here, but this is not a mistake. I did it on purpose so that my car doesn't have any problems now the 2jc engine is another story there has been a bit of miscommunication between me and my viewers and maybe some forum members who know or think they know something about the 2jz now this is a vvt-i cylinder head this is from a GTE this is from the turbo variant, so an Aristo, which is basically a GS 300 in Japan, would have this engine.

I think some other cars had it too, but this is the most technologically advanced cylinder head a car has ever had.2jc, however, the block is a GE. block which is a naturally aspirated block, the GE and GTE turbo variant, the blocks are exactly the same except for an oil passage in the middle and that oil passage is inconsequential as far as generating power is concerned, both can contain the same amount of power, the rods and the cranks are exactly the same between GE and GTE, but that only applies to the non-vvt-i ones, which I have up to the block, but I put a vvt-i cylinder head on, so if that confuse anyone sorry but this is a very good setup I have pistons that raise the compression just a little bit so I have a very good throttle response and it will make a lot of power as well.

Many of you are asking about the piston ring cover. I know some of you have seen the video of Cletus McFarland and his LS with a lot of boost needed the piston ring gap opened the NA version, the GE version actually has a larger piston ring gap than the version GTE, believe it or not, so they are totally fine without any gap between the piston rings to clean up any bottom end work. These will work. forever, but I hope to keep my fingers crossed. I don't want to curse myself. What I want to do with this car after

fixing

the interior right now is I want to take it to the paint shop and so I can take it to the shop. paint shop I'm not going to put any of the body panels on because they're going to have to come off anyway so it's going to be like this because the headlights have to come off, the bumper has to come off and I have a lot of things to do. let's say secret modifications I want to make to the bumpers and side skirts, it won't look exactly original, this will look very very good, I hope you like it, but without further ado I would like to finally tackle this interior and get this.

In fact, I bought a new center console because the old one has had some modifications that can't be recovered and the interesting thing is that these blanks, that little hole there, those blanks cost 30 dollars. So I have to go out, spend 90 bucks to fill them up, but that's just part of owning this type of car. Now it needs a good cleaning. It's a little dusty. It's been on my shelf for quite some time. and I have to get a six speed shifter. Not sure if I'm going to use it, maybe I'll get some of the 370z because that's where the transmission is from, but everything else looks pretty good, this is a little chewed up, but I don't know, maybe it adds a little character or I can get a new one.

Let me know in the comments. Looks amazing, new steering wheel and I can't wait to paint it and then I can. Don't wait to paint the whole car, so that'll be it for today's episode. We did a lot of work today. We put in the new radiator. We have plenty of coolant and we have everything inside that was really in pretty bad shape. way, we also ran the tack, we also ran the coolant and also well, I didn't run the speedometer, but I think we can probably do that in the next few episodes, but I really want to take this to the dyno and I want to take it to the paint shop because it really doesn't look very good, but I wanted to extend a special shout out and thank you to our Rise of Kingdoms sponsors.

You can see it in the video description below. You can get my special bonus and you can get all kinds of goodies just by clicking that link, so go check it out, but until next time that's me reminding you that cars like this that run now have coolant, they have awesome interiors and now you can see that they are not overheating and also what rpm they are at, you need to tighten every day.
