Thanks Ryan. I appreciate the kind words.
I will never ever deal with a pebble driveway again. Period.

will you be putting your car on the dyno? I'm very curious to see what kind of power you put down. Are you using stock Aristo injectors or USDM or aftermarket?

Awesome thread BTW

Nice work. I need to get my pics loaded of mine. I should be coming to an end within a week or so. Can't wait to see what those turbo do.

Thanks man. I will eventually get it on the dyno, but I don't have any firm plans yet. Injectors are stock Aristo.

Thank you. Yes, lets see some pics.

As for the turbos, I am anxious too. With the combo of JDM cams, map sensor, USDM manifold-exhaust bypass pipe, downpipe no cats and 12 bladed upgrades I have no idea of the horsepower. I am guessing 350 ish at 9-10 psi. I think 450 will be a realistic goal with different injectors and a boost controller later on. Stu Hagen twins are good for 20-22 psi but I won't be near that for a while. With the effort I've put into this, I also won't be near 16psi+ on pump gas.

Thanks. Get an SC ASAP. 17 years and I think I enjoy it more now than when it was new. FL licensed ftw.

Thanks for the comments. I've been on vacation. Getting back to work on the car tomorrow night. Plans are to turn the key Sat. Fingers crossed.

Default It RUNS...Perfectly

I can't even believe it myself. I primed the engine and turbos for 45 sec, put in the EFI fuse and started on the first shot. Idles and sounds extrodinary with the supra downpipe and dual exhausts. Much more to follow...
