just trying to make it fun. My car is so far from being anywhere near your car. Your car is a true inspiration for my car. I even showed my wife your car and she even said so your car can look like that, of course i responded, if you gave me a 30-40k or a free pass to toyota parts sure anything is possible. Haha.

Thanks I haven't really done anything exciting to it yet. Hopefully soon I will get it where I want, but I keep wanting to change things up. I am thinking about selling my r154 swap and putting a v160 swap in. Decisions.

Building my harness for the vvti coilpacks and Tt Ecu.



Braided wire loom with heat shrink.



Im slowly getting there. Still gotta take my manifold off to install the coilpacks. That would be a good time to make my intake manifold as well. I need garage space tho. We will see how this will work out. I'm getting pretty excited.

^^^^ Yes sir its a q45 TB and I got the 5 inch D plenum from RMR since the q45 TB flange was machined to fit the 5 inch D plenum. Looks more legit then having the TB plate stick out further than the plenum. Going for looks and function. Need more boost so I don't regret it being so laggy.

Fabbing up the ffim for the welder to weld it up for me tomorrow. Cut the stock lower intake manifold so it can be welded. I don't want bolts on the inside.





Nice and straight cut on a band saw.



40 degree cut to clear brake booster

Intake manifold fab all done







Will get it all welded this morning hopefully. After this is all done I will be installing my Tt Ecu. I figure no point in pulling the Intake manifold just to put on coilpacks and install the old one. I am So glad the intake manifold is done. It took me 4 hours to finish the fab on it. 1/4 inch 6061 is a tough Metal to cut.

Hopefully I can get the Tt Ecu installed this weekend if I'm not too tired. Does anyone know how long the throttle Body cable has to be for a ffim. I just need to know roughly how long.

New interior shot. No more auto. I still need to freshen up the interior after I get the turbo kit installed.
