just install all that stuff on now and drive it around you don't need boost for it all to work. That way you can work out all of the kinks in it first before you add boost.

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.

Feed line is a little bit less than 4 feet would be perfect. I have a 4 foot line and its a bit long

Iacv you can buy on Driftmotion. It's a beech performance flange that works with the 7mgte and 2jzgte iacv.

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 too almost pulled the trigger and sell all the na-t parts I put together over the last couple of years. But I decided to go ahead and finish the project.

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.
