My 97 sc300 NA-T 6 speed AEM with LQ9 coils build

Finally finished the intake manifold. Iacv flange welded and holes tapped for vacuum lines
Hole is a little crooked. That's what I get for eyeballing it since I don't have a vice big enough for the intake manifold on the drill press. Good thing it's on the bottom where no one can see it. I did buy a new ffim intake manifold as back up.

Nice project! I know what you mean about. Family and working out in the heat. I have a baby coming in August. Thought about parting with my sc300 and nat parts I'm gathering. My girlfriend wants me to keep it even tho I'm so busy working as an A/C tech in Fla. I've parted with many projects over the years out of frustration and worrying about cash. My advice as a total stranger and fellow car nut is to keep at it or set it aside for a little time. The way i see it is the money is already spent. And may i say, it was spent on some quality parts. Good luck with your build. I would really like to see this up and running. Its very similar to what I'm gathering parts for except I'm going with a GM auto.

I brought a new map sensor and now I can't find it. Lol. On a good night picked up a greddy oil filter relocation kit and some Tt supra rear brakes. Hopefully this GM 3 bar map sensor will work well. It was only 30 bucks compared to 150 for a AEM map sensor.

Finally got around to putting some time into the wiring harness. Added the map , iat, and boost solenoid. Still need to added the lq9 coilpack and I'm good to go. Spent 4 hours straight on it today going to give it a break and start back up tomorrow. I use wiring tie to tighten up the harness so it's smaller and removed all the wiring for o2 and vsv.
I installed some of the braided nylon on the loom. I only have about a few more hours and I'm done.
