Fenders rolled, old motor/trans out, engine bay cleaned, more parts ordered. Going to drop in the turbo setup tomorrow and can up all the intercooler piping and exhaust. Going to get all the Ic pipes powdercoated and most of the exhaust ceramic coated.

Almost everything is on the car and ready. Just waiting for all the pipes to come back from the coater. I'll get some good pics after I wash and wax her up.

Runs great aside from a bad tps. Won't let you go past 1/4 throttle. I made the Toyota meet here in Denver though.

Nix,

Thanks for bringing the 'Aristo' out to the Toyota Meet, nice build, not sure if I'm more jealous of the brakes, or the GTE, want both! Someday... Sweet GS!!!

Did I talk to you? I was so busy talking to everyone. I'm glad I made it out and got to bring both my running projects. I do love those brakes. I fixed the issue. Running strong on 12psi. Feels so good to boost around in style.

Did you bring your GS? Was it above everyone off to the side?

Hey Nix,

I did get to talk briefly with you, I brought my recently W58 swapped SC 300, it was the RJP SC w/BBSs at the bottom of the same row you were in. GS stayed home for lack of a driver, maybe next time. Glad to hear you got the GTE running good, ought to get the tank moving nicely! Good to have some GTE experienced people here in CO. Great to meet you and hope to catch you again soon...

All the Best!, -

Cool. Yeah I saw a few Sc. I like them. I'm finishing a 2j vvti swap for a guy. Gonna turn out good. I almost bought one but the guy backed out. If you ever need any help I'm here.

Just ordered a Driftmotion 6262 turbo for the Aristo. I'm going to put the gt3071 back on my MR2. Even thought it made close to 400whp @12psi the spool time is kinda slow seeing as how its a small turbo with a huge turbine housing. I looked at several drop in replacements and the 6262 that Aaron builds seems to be top choice and a good price. I'll keep you posted with dyno numbers soon.

Like rally car "bang-bang" anti lag? Its really pointless and very rough on turbos and the car. Better to have a quick spool valve but I've heard mixed reviews about them. Just best to get a proper turbo size.
