crispy clean, as any engine build should be. Getting closer...

 

Looks great man! how much have money you spent so far?

 

Not sure really. I'm guessing about 6K...

 

I've finally decided to put the engine in next weekend. Lots of pics to be taken.

I'm getting an SC400 Hydraulic Cooler as my new power steering cooler and here is my new high pressure power steering hose. I can't take credit for the idea, but this is one solid piece of gear.

 

you should just wait and get a r154 then swap. You've had the engine this long, whats the rush. It'll be a pain removing the engine/tranny to put a new tranny in later. (unless you have a lift)

 

No way. I've droped the tranny before in the sc and the supra all by myself with the car on jack stands and just basic tools. The R154 is way heavier though. Took about 6 hours to drop it and put it back in. It can be done.

 

Auto will be fine for me for a while.

When this transmission comes out...Getrag goes in.

 

Agreed. These cars are not bad with the motor in the car. Just need a couple socket swivels and extensions.

 

Yes this is one of those GREAT GREAT builds on Club Lexus.
excellent job slappy96. The attention to Detail is out of this World

Thanks Turbo 819 for the kind words. It's been a long time coming, but the GE engine finally came out last Sun. I've got the wiring harness on and the engine complete. I've had to buy so many ancillary hoses to be happy. The toyota OEM rubber for the turbo piping is so money. I've tried to use replacement stuff for the heater hose, BOV piping and water piping and just ended up getting OEM anyway. I found a coil pack connector that Dr. Tweak forgot I guess. I'll fix it with the engine in, but the little things are a pain. I feel like I'm finally getting to the end game. Pics shortly....

 

great build thread man . its fun watching the progress.yay for more boosted sc's in Miss

 

your build is so nice man make feel like going this route insted of NA-T... Where did you send your turbos to get redone and upgraded at ??

 

Thanks! Where in MS?

 

Thank you. I feel like it'll be worth it, but I can assure you it's a lot more work. Stu Hagen (the twins king) in Washington State sold me the upgrades. I'll get 150.00 for my US cores if I ever get around to sending them. He's on Supraforums.

 

Just some chronological stuff of the GE engine coming out for anyone who cares to follow. Questions welcome cause I've dealt with a lot of little stuff that you don't think about.
