That looks clean! I wouldn't have thought about placing them there!

Thanks, I would rather have it down there then have it tight inside the spark plug cover.

The V160 was just put in and I have Supra TT wheels now with a 15mm spacer in the front so it's flush. Does anybody else notice how loud and clanky the V160 is? lol. It's also quite laggy with the twins in TTC mode. I'm looking fwd to doin' a single swap in the next year hopefully.

Lag is part of TTC. I'd suggest going back to sequential but getting the Haltech to control the VSV's may be more trouble than it's worth, or not possible at all.

Yea, I hate the lag actually and can't wait to throw in a 67mm billet precision turbo on this thing. I think it would be too much trouble to make the sequentials work.

Gene i hate the stock twins on JZ engines, they are boring past 4500rpm.
How is the shifter boot working out for you?
Looking good bro.

Hey Omar, I still need to put your boot on. Did you just cut the top ring off and roll the boot under the reverse lock out?

What tranny fluid are you using Fuzion? I have the Royal Purple Synchromax in mine.

I had to remove the ring out of the boot lol, just break the ring in half and slide it out.

We used royal purple on his tranny, i didn't wanna use it and i had him sign a waiver because i've read bad story about the royal purple on the V160.

There's a lot of good feedback on the RP oil on supraforums. Mine shifts smoothly but it's just loud and sounds like there's marbles in the tranny. lol
