Update - I installed the Beech performance q45 TPS adapter. It sucks you gotta destory at stock throttle body to use the adapter. You basically got take the thing that moves the toyota TPS and put it on the q45 throttle body. Basically you have a useless lexus TB unless someone wants it for parts. The kit needs to come with that. Its not that hard to bend them up. I could probably make one a work but I had a spare TB that I didn't need.

I can make one now at a machine shop for cheaper than that. lol its super easy to make. Now that I see the concept it shouldn't be that hard. I will probably get them to make me the billet timing tensioner too. 300 plus for a steel billet tensioner is expensive.

i didn't make it i brought it from Beech Performance. The greddy one looks like a way better options since you don't have to take apart your factory throttle body tps arm to use on the q45.

Mounted intercooler today.









I also clocked the turbo. Does anyone know the thread for installing the oil feed line for the bw s366. It came with a 90 degree already.

It has a huge thread on the 90 deg adapter that came with it. Like a 1/2 or 7/16.

Thanks. I try to put a little artsy thing to the intercooler beam. A little brush swirl effect with titanium aircraft fasteners.

Too good to tell. What if i wanna sell it one day? Haha. jk Put it this way I didn't bargain with him. I did take a gamble tho since he had a low post count. He is a 240 guy so i went on zilvia net which he had 120 post count and he had it posted on there for awhile about the AEM box so it made me more and more confident to send him the money. It should be here tomorrow. I been keeping in contact with the seller he is a great guy ex military like myself. I told him to make a build thread as he is making a drift/race car in a sc400.

Just ordered my walbro 400 lph for e85. This one pump should be enough for fic 1100cc injector hopefully. I need to make a new return and probably a new feed as well. Has anyone used hard lines instead of braided lines?

I think I am going to go back to the TT ecu setup. I don't wanna spend 700 for injectors 800 for a tune and new fuel lines for e85 and a FPR. So i am looking at 2k+ to run e85 right now. I think I will put my 550cc injector in with a aeromotive FPR and TT ecu and run pump gas.
