Why not LS3 with a 4L80E or T56 !!!!! That would be a monster.

I want to keep it Toyota. Market is bigger if I ever wanna sell it and i wouldn't have to buy a bunch of new parts. Just need the motor harness and new turbo manifold.

Really thinking about getting this car lift. Just have to make sure I can park my other car next to this car lift and still be able to open the doors and get out.

Started on the firewall quick disconnect and wiring up the proefi.

Perfect crimp from the 30 buck eBay crimper


I used the crimper we had at work. I didn't buy this crimper since it's pretty pricey. It crimps all 4 sides at the same time on the socket.






It's pretty cold now so I brought my work inside to the kitchen. Wife didn't seem too pleased but it's better than me freezing my butt off. I ordered some new proefi connectors since the ones I have were broken from mouser. It wasn't too bad price wise from mouser. I paid 32 bucks for 2 connector with shipping. Doing this harness sure beats paying 700 for an adapter and now I will have a quick disconnect at the firewall.

purchased a touchscreen climate control for the sc300. Saw it on UZZ-TT build thread and it was a must have to update the interior for the sc. Hopefully I can wire it so you can see the proefi gauge readings with it but i would have to email the company first.

With the addition of the VVT-i, he would have minimal lag if any with the s366. As much as I despise the VVT-i wiring, they do spool turbo's much faster.

Wife got a new car 2010 ls460 sport now I can get back to working on my sc300 after I organize my garage.





Brought a new toolbox as well. Husky 40" 11 drawer top and bottom box from Home Depot. I got it for 200 bucks since it had a dent. Time to get serious in the garage.

A deal has passed me and I am considering selling the sc for a 03 gs300. We will see how this will all pan out.

Jwin...Don't stop. It's been such a long road can't you taste the finish line? Or what's going on?
