Popular Post sheepers Posted June 20, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2015 new page, new happenings.mainly this. Untitled by sheepers, on Flickr Untitled by sheepers, on Flickr Untitled by sheepers, on Flickr many thanks to Dan (ta63-1uzze) for the dummy engine. with it i have been able to see that the manifold i made actually fits the motor and also that i should be able to get the whole shebang under the bonnet. using science (taping a crown horn button to the front of the motor and closing the bonnet) i have calculated that i should have about 10mm gap between the bonnet and the pulley. pretty happy about this. Untitled by sheepers, on Flickr Untitled by sheepers, on Flickr other things that have come to light,i should be able to get the pulley forward enough by making a new one with a slightly different offset. i had previously thought that id have to make a new snout but a pulley should do the trick to get the belt drives to line up.gotta make an adaptor plate to bolt the superdupercharger to the manifold. I've done most of the work for this so that shouldn't take to long. excitement!!!!! 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sheepers Posted August 7, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2015 got the adaptor plate made. a mate of mine made it for me at his shop because we are so busy at work at the moment that i can't get on a machine to make anything. 20150807_162523 by sheepers, on Flickr only small problem is that some idiot modeled it with the superdupercharger flange upside down so its wrong. it fits the superdupercharger and it fits the manifold but not at the same time. idiot. now i have to ask my mate to make me another one because I'm a moran. 15 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sheepers Posted September 2, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2015 got new adaptor plate and this time it fits both the manifold and the superdupercharger at the same time. 2015-09-02_05-08-45 by sheepers, on Flickr 2015-09-02_05-08-03 by sheepers, on Flickr 2015-09-02_05-05-45 by sheepers, on Flickr so there you have it. all the mechanical parts are made and I've bought almost everything i need to do the conversion, just need a new clutch and to get my gearbox fixed when its out of the car. but, the end of the year is coming at me like fat woman approaches the buffet so i gotta get the other car done. this means this will be on hold until i get the TA23 a whole bunch further along. i dunno, January? 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sheepers Posted June 21, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2016 so a while ago i said i was going to buy these flares, http://www.ebay.com/itm/JDM-set-for-TOYOTA-CELICA-TA22-TA23-Fender-Flares-Wheel-arch-front-lip-spoiler-/152131201793?hash=item236bb9eb01:g:ZnoAAOSwAuNW358r&vxp=mtr which i did and they arrived ages ago but ive not really mocked them up yet to see how they fit. last night i did a bit of dicking around with them to see how they look. they fit very well and im super happy with the construction of them. they are pretty wide though. i stuck them on the side of the 28 to see if they would fit a liftback and they will fit perfectly. these flares aren't intended for this car and neither are these wheels but it was easier to show them on this car. anywho, back. this is a 17x10 with a neg 40 offset (wheel is neg 20 and there is a 20mm spacer on there, hub face to hub face on this car is 1340 or whatever the stock celice diff width is, i think its 1340?) 2016-06-21_04-56-56 by sheepers, on Flickr 2016-06-21_04-57-04 by sheepers, on Flickr 2016-06-21_04-56-34 by sheepers, on Flickr this is a 315 35 17 sitting in the hole. there is about 50mm gap on the inside and the cars guard lip is sitting on top of the tyre. 2016-06-21_06-14-35 by sheepers, on Flickr 2016-06-21_06-14-45 by sheepers, on Flickr front. 17x9.5 pos 12. very close to the strut on the inside but it could be made to work with a 5mm spacer and youd probably get away with a 245 40 17 tyre. 2016-06-21_07-06-26 by sheepers, on Flickr 2016-06-21_07-06-34 by sheepers, on Flickr 2016-06-21_07-06-42 by sheepers, on Flickr so yea. i hope this information is of some use to you. 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sheepers Posted May 31, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2019 hi. so 8 years after i bought a supercharger and 5 years after i made a manifold for it im actually going to install it. old people like me will tell you about how times speeds up and you just dont know where the time went but this is fucking ridiculous. how the fuck has it been 5 years since i made that manifold? how? anywho. i took the motor out. its fairly depressing to look at the engine bay that i once spent so much time and effort on and see what a pile of crap it looks like now. still, me, and a few other people too, have done a bunch of Ks in this car. ive dailyed it for almost 8 years, driven it to invercargil and back, been to heaps of nats in it, leadfoots, Toyota nationals, thrashed it at countless track days, done 70,000Ks in it. and its NEVER missed a beat. not fucking once has it ever let me down ( you could count the time i blew the gearbox up but any idiot who puts a W55 behind a UZ deserves all he gets). cant complain about that i suppose. so now its time for a new look, a new motor and a new other things as well. first point of business, motor out, 2019-05-31_08-22-40 by sheepers, on Flickr 2019-05-31_08-22-32 by sheepers, on Flickr 2019-05-31_08-22-24 by sheepers, on Flickr as it now takes me 27 years to scratch my arse i doubt the progress i used to make on projects is going to be a thing again. so dont expect me to have this thing finished by monday as i would have done in the old days. 34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepers Posted June 4, 2019 Author Share Posted June 4, 2019 engine tear down didnt go especially well. everything was kind of normal looking without any thing sticking out as being fucked. until i got the heads off. there's some pretty major pitting in two of the bores. i can feel it and it seems pretty bad to me. there is one on the other side which is the same, maybe not so bad. that line down by the piston is also degradation of the bore, dont know how far past the piston it goes yet. 2019-06-04_06-05-10 by sheepers, on Flickr 2019-06-04_06-05-00 by sheepers, on Flickr it could potentially be bored but it fells pretty bad. if you've got a serviceable UZ block hit me up....... 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepers Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 hey just a cautionary tail for those of you out there with a bad lower back. DO NOT undo head bolts with a long power bar. the twisting action required to break the bolts has fucked me back to the stone age. its like ive undone 5 months or recovery in the space of an hour. FUCK im in pain now. don't do what Donny don't does...... 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepers Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share Posted July 10, 2019 So, a month later and not much has happened. Took the heads to the reconditioners. Will sort out a new clutch then I can take the short block in for a reco as well. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sheepers Posted July 12, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 12, 2019 Pistons out of the block. Bores should clean up with a hone but we'll see and the crank looks like it just needs a polish. New eagle rods and Ross pistons to go back in. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sheepers Posted September 19, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 19, 2019 2 months later i have all the bits to rebuild the bottom end. the heads are already finished and i have them back. parts, 9 to 1 CR Ross forged pistons (the cunts will not change the value of the parts on the shipping invoice so keep that in mind when deciding to use them or not) eagle H beam rods and ARP rod bolts ARP main cap studs and bolts new genuine Toyota oil pump theres heaps of other shit too but you get the picture. block will now be bored and honed to 88mm. rotating assembly will get balanced and ill get the short block back. then its reassembly time. good days. or maybe not good days. going in to hospital to get back surgery in about a month so that will fuck all progress for a while............... 2019-09-19_07-59-37 by sheepers, on Flickr 2019-09-19_07-59-22 by sheepers, on Flickr 2019-09-19_07-58-23 by sheepers, on Flickr 31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sheepers Posted October 4, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 4, 2019 short block is finished and back home. now its time to start the assembly. need to check a few things like valve/piston clearance and whatnot. i go in to hospital for back surgery on the 24th and id like to get the engine sealed us before then. 2019-10-04_08-00-51 by sheepers, on Flickr 2019-10-04_08-00-40 by sheepers, on Flickr 2019-10-04_08-00-32 by sheepers, on Flickr 24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sheepers Posted October 5, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2019 putting motor back together. sump is all back on. the sump had some ground based accidents previously so i made a thing to stop it getting such a kicking. 2019-10-05_12-44-55 by sheepers, on Flickr 2019-10-05_12-44-48 by sheepers, on Flickr then i continued on with the rest of the assembly. i put some playdoh on the piston and checked valve clearance which was all good. got the water and oil pumps on and the heads. the toyota full gasket set does not have lip seals in it which sucks balls so i have no front crank seal, which menas i cant put the timing belt on. 2019-10-05_04-32-32 by sheepers, on Flickr 34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sheepers Posted November 20, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 20, 2019 So I've had surgery on my back about 3 weeks ago and everything is going great. Lots of walking mainly. I have ticked a couple of little things off though. Injectors. So the stock height injector made the fuel rail clash with the supercharger mount plate. I got some "shorty" injectors that allowed me to drop the fuel rail by about 30mm. I had to mod the bottom O ring seat to take the stock Toyota crush style o ring and now is all working. Need to make clamps to hold the rail down and it's done. 2019-11-20_05-19-33 by sheepers, on Flickr 2019-11-20_05-19-22 by sheepers, on Flickr also, WHY THE HORSE FUCKING CUNT CANT YOU LINK A FLICKR IMAGE ON A PHONE??????????????????? 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sheepers Posted November 27, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2019 in the last couple of days ive been doing a bit more. i dont actually know if im supposed to be or if its doing any damage but everything feels great and my back is super good so fuck it im going to play cars. so, last part of the fuel supply puzzle was making clamps for the fuel rail. today i did that. only made two because the belt on my linisher shit itself and i had to go get another one. i took some photos of how i did that. 2019-11-27_07-48-54 by sheepers, on Flickr 2019-11-27_07-48-46 by sheepers, on Flickr 2019-11-27_07-48-38 by sheepers, on Flickr 2019-11-27_07-48-30 by sheepers, on Flickr 2019-11-27_07-48-20 by sheepers, on Flickr 2019-11-27_07-48-12 by sheepers, on Flickr 32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sheepers Posted November 28, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 28, 2019 today i made the other two brackets. i forgot to mention i use my 50mm DA sander/polisher to finish these types of parts. i use 150 grit sandpaper to clean up the belt sander marks and get them smooth then i used scotch brite on the velcro pad to polish them up and they come u mint. i thoroughly recommend getting yourself a small pad DA sander/polisher. they are so handy for things. 2019-11-28_03-21-45 by sheepers, on Flickr 2019-11-28_03-21-54 by sheepers, on Flickr after that i started making a mounting plate for the extra serpentine belt pulley ill need for the superdupercharger drive. once i know where abouts the extra pulley will go ill make a mounting boss and weld it on. 2019-11-28_03-21-35 by sheepers, on Flickr 2019-11-28_03-23-48 by sheepers, on Flickr 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
