Nice update. I'm in the process of doing a Soarer 1JZ R154 Swap. Just of out curiosity what intercooler and intake pipe did you use, and where'd you pick it up?

Your cars coming along nicely!

Did you you do any maintenance on it before the install or just dropped it in due, to time restraints?[/QUOTE]
Waterpump, belts, thermostat, nothing major.

Auto hopefully after tax returns or so next year I'll have enough cash to do an r154 swap.

I got the kit off driftmotion. You have to cut the piping to your liking. If you plan to keep your A/C its a little tricky but if not its really easy. It was like $300 I believe.

My 5spd will be around tax season as well. R154 will be worth it. I have to say that the gearing and auto set up has been pretty fun as well. Glad to see you did a swap though.

The ebay one, its a pita to get on! we had to disconnect the turbos and wedge it in there. Then it didn't clear the motor mount so we had to bend it.

Good to see you got it on the road!!! wish i could of help out more on it, then the little to nothing i did. Get a set of ngk 4644's and hopefully thats it, if its still an issue you can try my coilpacks, common to go out esp for how old they are.

Ngk 7092's work perfect for the swap. Check tps, ignitor coils, trans kick down cable position, vacuum lines, fuel pressure, and auch. The same old stuff on any swap. Also check timing on it too. My buddies broke up at like 2600-3000 rpm because of 1 tooth being off on timing. Make sure that it is set perfectly.
