Looking good man! Can't wait to hear this thing run. Have you thought about making ducts for the radiator and intercooler? I can also help you with some wire tucking, I have done it in the past



Sorry thread jack...

awesome

I am buying mine from Turblown enginering, but Most performance shops sell them, I think they have to be a dealer or something along those lines.. And I am going to go with rewire once they have it full implemented to make my engine harness.

I think you have plenty of wastegate, even if you plumbed them back in.

It's all good. My name is Ryan. I also talked to you on the phone when you had you're engine for sale and were thinking of swapping a 2jz I tried to talk you into keeping the rotary. The support the club offers is the best part. I'm glad you stuck with it. It's probably about time I start a build thread and get some motivation to finish my car.

Downpipe & mid pipe! The midpipe needs to be sent it to get coated so it wont rust and it also needs to get manipulated to fit up with DP



New fuel pump

I am having Elliot SUMP my fuel tank as well I will have pics in a week or 2 of that

(beer can to show the shear size of this pump lol)






The car is really comming along! I am in the last stretch to having the car running 2 weeks I will have the xcessive LIM and full Turblown FD3S fuel system!

yes that is how the Turbo is going to be positioned, I have talked with elliot and what we are going to 2 is cut the IC piping and move it a few degree's 2 the right and also put a bend on the turbo outlet and it should meet up perfect! That is the game plan at least!

I took off the ricer side skirts! I may have to rock a shitty paint job this summer, but at least it will give me good motivation to save up for paint!

oh you dont have to worry... they are only there for Function, but they will have to do until I finish the engine and the body... Rims are going to come last, it will be the final touch to the car.
