86' supra sunsport rebuild

Splash ! She floats ! Lol

I put her in and I found a couple things to tighty up ..

Rear intake seal is leaking just enough to piss u off lol ..
No biggie , I reseal this week ..

Timing is off a little . Popping under full load , I remove distributor when I painted block
And put her a tdc and aligned at 0 degrees .. Just need to bring my timing light and mess with it a bit ..

I did not feel vibration in shaft or see it move in any direction ..

Trans held strong ! And did what it is supposed to do ..

Question : speedo - that brass pipe with the input and output for the pressure line .. Is that a one way dill ?
Are they installed a certain way for the speedo to pick up ?

I didn't get a video , cause I was so excited that I have a floating rig again , but I will upload some pics shortly ..


Thanks again guys !

Wake tower is getting welded this Friday ..

I know those straps are just snug. But get them off of there. Not made for that. Man, that interior is BEAUTIFUL!! I also like pulling the wooden door off of the dog house. Cool idea. Im tired of redoing mine every year. lol.

8-channel amp?? I dont think I have ever seen one?? How big is it?? She looks great man.

Thanks jet! The amp is made by wet entertainment .. its 2 quads that are in the same box ; its not big like 2' long ... @ 100w rms per unit @ 4 ohms it should
Scream! I have backing plates on my platform brackets so no worry there .. just didn't know how much and if it would bounce around

Do you not have hooks to put the straps on from the factory?

No , idk why cause the trailer does .. But those straps are rubber insolated and those brackets ain't moving anytime soon .. Lol

If you did want to alleviate stress on the platform, you could go up and over the back end of the boat and just cinch the whole thing down, too. Definitely have something back there whatever you do.

I might just through
Bolt some hold downs so I can fix it permanently . The backing plates have enough overage to allow a great fixed point

Hey Lively great rebuild man boat looks killer, love the orange. Ive got a ? about the A frame u built. Going to strt pulling the top and engine on my Salt later this month and was thinking of stealing ur design. Wanted to know if u used it to pull ur engine as well as cap. Also how it did, any signs of stress so i know to beef it up a bit or if i should be good with what u used. Thx

I used 4 4x4 x12 lumber with 2x4 through bolted for cross support, top is not heavy just awkward and long .. get a few buddies to help pull it and set on
ground, if u pull engine with it, I would deff beef the cross braces up and through bolt everything
