    Bolted in!





    Engine just about ready to go here. A few minutes later it fired up on the first try... as always





    Swapping out the tach...



    Changing the pump requires dropping the tank... loads of fun!!!



    I've just got a few finished pics left to upload.

    Looks great. I need to leave the MKIII section before I buy another one.

    You've got that right, it's a lot of work. If you want to swap and don't want to worry about the wiring, you can always send it to me: http://www.phoenixtuning.com/

    Hi Andy! I can't wait to take you for a ride in it!

    No, I had to customize the piping on the passenger side. Thankfully I had some black intercooler piping that was just the right size!

    Cheers

    Yes, that's the 2JZGTE water pump and fan setup. There's a list of what you need here: http://www.1jz-gte.us/92Supra8.html

    Looking good man. How long did it take you to get it running once you put the motor in the car? I'm currently trying a 1jz swap. My garrett gt35r is suppose to arrive tomorrow. I've got a thread started on SM, but not here. I'm kind of scared about installing the motor, but I've come too far to turn around now. Hopefully I can handle it. Your's looks awesome.

    It took me around 4-6 hours, but I do this fulltime. Take your time and you'll be fine. If you need a hand with the wiring, just let me know, I specialize in converting Toyota wiring harnesses.

    Thanks!

    Here are the pics of the 3" mandrel-bent stainless exhaust I put together, side by side with what was on there...



    I suspect this will flow much better!

    Well I really took my time, I think that it was around 5 or 6 days of work including building the exhaust, something like that. Total downtime was longer since we spent a little time waiting on parts like the exhaust, which wasn't originally planned.

    you need a R154 not the W58 you have now

    you can go to Jarco, JHOT, Driftmotion theres lots of places

    i personally prefer JHOT
