Looks good, but why does the bonnet seem like it's not fitting correctly. Looks like it's sitting higher then everything else. I thought it was just the front bar and headlights from the first pic, but it doesn't follow the guards either

Notice the OCD here. I'm soldering and heak shrinking everything (of course!)

i'm also cannibalizing a 2jzgte JDM harness I got with another motor. It was already cut and the ecu connectors were smashed so i'm putting the wires to good use.

i'm also using the same color wires to extend the harness, taking the OCD to a whole new level :D

Should be done with extending the harness in about 3-4 hours :|


@ op is this hard or just tedious? lol you put your 1jz ecu in the stock mounting location?

I hate to be "that guy" and dig up a dead thread, BUT I SEARCHED SO NO ONE NAGS THAT I MADE A NEW THREAD

Couple of questions for the OP (if he can recall) -

Were you running any kind of piggy back or was all this performance with the stock ECM and tuning?

How off was the transmission from the shifter hole? And would you know if the W58 and R154 varied in length?

Did you have your driveshaft custom made via local shop or did you have a company send one to you?

Did you use the stock Turbo2 rear end with this conversion? If so, how did it feel with this set up?

Any photos of how your IC piping was routed? And did you use the Turbo2 radiator?

Thank you in advance!
