Yes, the radiator inlet and the front facing intake manifold of the 2jzgte will be on a collision course. You want a radiator that puts the inlet a bit to the side of the intake opening for obvious piping reasons.

Moe,
I havent been on here to check up in a while. The build looks great.. I have to say, I'm AMAZED that the hotside Y pipe I made worked perfectly with the ABS. My ABS was long gone when I made that. I guess it was meant to be though..
sorry I'm slacking on getting that other Y cut off and shipped out to you. I'll try tomorrow get the exhaust on the chop saw and pack it up, still dont have any sawzall blades at the moment and no cash to buy any til payday.
keep up the good work.

I already posted pictures of the startup. I've driven it on the highway for a a couple of miles, but because of the exaust not connected, I could not really push it any higher than normal driving speed 
. Its way too loud. I could even feel my earwax vibrating lol 
. Once the exaust is hooked up, I promise more videos. 
For the paint job, its not a professionl job. I just paid for the paint materials which came up close to $500.

Some more things I got done and hopefully will take to an exhaust shop this weekend :
Removed the stock and heavy exhaust system :
replaced it with this :
So here is my dilemma at the moment and have to drive to the exuast place and have them mate these up :
Hopefully today or tomorrow, I will have this sorted out and can drive my car normally .This is all its waiting on.

Your boost leak can be anywhere. Here are a few places I've found them to be in the past :
Couplers ( especially fo the intake ones are old, look for cracks)
> Upper/lower intake manifold gaskets.
> Wastegate stuck open.( we found debri in manifold in one of my friends car and it was holding the wastegate from moving. They were the wleding bits from the flanges.
> Wastegate vacumn hose routing...

haha, yeah as a matter of fact, I was interested in yours, but the no shipping thing did not work for me so I picked up another set. Love the look and hopefully the sound too. I've heard them on my friend's MKIV supra and they sound great.Thanks.
