With my early turbo years in a Saturn Sky, I quickly realized a nimble roadster had its place, but was never going to fill the shoes of a big turbo car like a 2jz. I promptly bought my built 2jz engine from Georgia from a member parting out a project. This was originally built by Brandon Bachtel who now works at Top Speed Motorsports. Brandon was helpful in the sale and gave me peace of mind when I got it. In the following months, I kept eyeing a Supra shell, but none fit the bill. I finally ended up talking with Rob Dougherty and picked up his shell after Hurricane Sandy flooded the vehicle. This shell was under salt water for some time. This meant everything in the car was suspect. Little to nothing worked, so I began the long process of the "first build." I ended up with some wiring gremins which I took to Sound performance. Larry was able to sort his way though the car and get it to fire up. The car made 1006whp with a leak at the intake manifold. I used the car for the remainder of that 2013 season and the car was put away in the fall. During the winter of 2013, I decided it was time to take the car to the next level. I put an 88mm turbo on, new intake manifold, and had Larry turn it up. Unfortunately, the car was limited by fueling capacity, so it only produced 1103whp on their dyno in March of 2014. The Dyno revealed that the car had a large smoking issue and was burning oil. After some diagnosis in May, I found that the rings in the motor were worn out, so it was time for an overhaul. I was somewhat defeated I lost interest in the car until later in the year. Finally in August of 2014 I took the engine to Canton Automotive Machine Service, and we began to put a plan to get the engine back and better than before. Different rings and a half filled block to ensure main bearing life would last for a while longer. I was able to get the engine back and into the car in September 2014. However this re-install found a mysterious oil leak from the rear of the motor. Apparently I had not torqued the new rear Galley plugs and was getting a dribble out the rear. So the car was torn apart again, and the issue was remedied. I was able to put some dyno miles on the car to help seal the new engine in late 2014. Pro Car Associates located in Akron were very helpful with installing some NHRA safety gear as well as the dyno service. The car was then taken to Aman's Collision in Canton where they did an excellent job restoring the paint and repairing old flaws on the car. It finally looked like a proper supra, and I was ecstatic to get it back. I have since been doing local dyno days and starting to dial in the car at the track. Its had only a few runs due to my limited free time, but I have been making good progress along the way.

My first build was not a whole lot different than the second. Only large changes were the Tilton clutch, (had HKS triple) the SP intake manifold (was a veilside knock off) and the 88mm turbo (was 80mm GT4780) If I had to guess on future changes, I would think a Magnafuel 4703 would be in the works to beef up the fuel system as well as an automatic transmission after I have either achieved my goals with the 6 speed, or I give up on those goals.

Honestly I have had a lot of influences over the years. Many via youtube and some in person. Some of those would be Don Summerton, Cody Phillips, Ryan Woon, Jon Prakanis, Jamie Carter, Joel Granns, Geovannie Castillo, Vlad Yevtushenko, Mark Conte, Saad Saad, and SW.

None bit me harder than Joel Grannas's determination to go after the 6 speed record. I will probably never get to his level on the 6 speed front, but its been awesome having him so near to me and be able to use him as a resource of what works as well as watch his progress. Joe and Jenna Fisher have also inspired me to achieve what I can and instilled determination in keeping with my car and the setup. Many long hours and text conversations have been had between myself and Joe. Another great resource in my journey. Alex Linder at BPA autosports has also been a great inspiration and asset along the way. His fabrications skills and ability to solve a problem are second to none. Another great resource that has been local and always willing to help. Other thanks/shout outs Canton Auto Machine Service - A solid motor that keeps on truckin. Pro-Car Associates - Great local shop with excellent customer service SP Racing.. Larry answering any questions that I have with my proefi Don at accelerated for answering all my dumb questions at odd hours Geovannie Castillo/ Mark Conte for helping with any product questions I have and willing to call and discuss all my options.
