does the quick spool valve work effectively on a twin turbo setup

2- pte 5558cea i'm sure you would need 2 QSV's

I don't see any reason why not . Just got to use 2 of them ... one for each turbo.

Like on the PT-6870 , it is like having a 60-62mm spool at the lower RPMs with more torque and yet gets you into the 1krwhp into the high RPMs .

The amount of small details going into this build are incredible. the pumps, lines, sensors, there are things that seem to go by the way side in most builds. Good job, Gerrb.

Thanks APTech

Did some changes on the Fuel Pressure Regulator for the Old Man's Tan SC. Added a sensor for the Fuel Pressure Gauge and a sensor for the ProEFI to monitor so it can protect my engine in case of low fuel pressure.

Got my two rear bumpers and side skirts today . I would say , this for me is the best kit I have seen for the Lexus SC300 / SC400 considering the design and what it is made of. Then you have the price which is lower than the Shine and Auto Couture Body kits which are both made of some type of fiberglass. Even the OEM 1997 body kit looks flimsy when compared to this poly-urethane kit. They didn't spare anything or cheap out in the amount of materials in building this kit. The thickness of the front / rear bumpers and side skirts would make them really hard to break. As I have mentioned before , you break this kit ... you have a bigger problem to worry about .

Because of the quality , I have decided to install the other body kit on the 1 of 120 1997 SC300 5speed and now , probably the only original 1997 5speed with a 6speed VVTi 2jzgte and that will hopefully be above the +1400rwhp +1000 ft./lbs torque (this is wishful thinking here that is not impossible at all if I get all my ducks in a row) mark with the 3.4l VVTi power plant I am currently working on. I will just keep the original body kit or put it on the Old Man Tan SC just so I know I still have the original kit for the 1 of 120.









they didn't spare on materials in manufacturing these kits ....

The poly-urethane side skirts are one (1) inch lower in profile compared to the 97 side skirts which gives the car an illusion that it is a lot lowered.

Test fitted the kit without thoroughly bolting it up just to see fitment . I can't complain .. I like it .










Still got that exhaust that my buddy Aaron left me so am installing them on this car ...




These two cars basically have same height or ground clearance. But the AC kit just makes the red one looks like a lot more lowered.

thanks ! btw , here is the puller / pusher I was telling you that you can use to push that tunnel instead of hammering it ..

Here is a copy of the Review on the APTech Aero Craft Body kit I just did in another thread :

First , if you are expecting a 100% perfect fitting body kit or a body kit without any imperfection and no work required , the kit is not for you . Besides there is no such thing . Just like any body kit in the market , there are some work to be done. On this kit , very minimal work I would say should be done.

In terms of quality , I honestly believe , the company didn't cheap out on materials. Every damn piece is well made . They are not flimsy. In fact a lot heavier than the OEM 97 kit or any kit I have laid my hands on which was a sign that they didn't try to save on the amount of materials. That makes every part seems so durable . One thing I would say , if you break any part of this kit , then you have a bigger problem to work on . I would think that you would have had a bad wreck for you to damage any part of the kit.

No more worries with the gutter along the drive thru, the parking lot front stoppers, the humps & bumps on the roads or even the steep inclines / dips on the roads. There is simply no breaking the front bumper with them. It is made of poly-urethane . All the other body kits in the market I believe has some type of fiberglass that is why they are so easy to brake.

And to top it all , the price we paid for it during the group buy was even cheaper than the Shine Body Kit and not even half the price of the Auto Couture Body Kit.

Again thank you to APTech for making it possible for us to have such product and a special thanks to Tony (StudioGeek) who started the conversation about this product that sparked the interest of many thus the group buy was started and APTech got to work.

I will let the pictures of the Red Mamba Two do the talking . I haven't fully bolted the rear bumper since I still have to take it out. I need to do the cutout portion for the rear back lights and drill holes for the screws on the sides of the bumper to make it all line up .

Now I need to install the dual exhaust for this car , get the big brake kits since I just installed a 315/40R18 wheel & drag radial tire combo and get it a real good paint job. It already has a good black interior , Viper Smart Start / GPS tracking system and a 2jzgte with built ATF transmission . I even am tempted to put aftermarket Twin Turbos now instead of waiting for the stock twins to konk out just to make the engine bay look really good.

Pretty sure the 1 of 120 Black Pearl will look as good once I have installed the other body kit.

And all I can say is I am happy with this body kit and no other body kit I would ever install on my SCs except this body kit.

And that tool has a lot of attachments . It had helped a lot of members here take away the dents they had.


Before tearing apart the 1997 Black Pearl and installing the other AC Body kit (Aero Craft) , decided to give some love on the Old Man Tan SC . It has huge drag radial tires. To make it look a bit lowered... installed the 97 side skirts that came out of the Red Mamba Two .

I think I am keeping the 95 front bumper with the 92 lip so I still have one with the older look and I always loved that bumper with the center piece in front removable ... but with 97 skirts ... 97 rear I don't know , need to decide.

It is neat the 95-96 has the removable insert, I remove mine every once in a while to get that intercooler look, but the 97 is a great look as well cause of the vent. tough decision.
I like that drag radial look on Old man Tan, now if only a set of supra 16's would pop up around here lol.
