Nice. I have a 1jz/r154 on the way for my Soarer and will be shopping for a clutch soon. Mind if I ask how much it ran you?

$375 plus shipping and you provide the pressure plate. You have a choice of 6 or 4 puck, I wanted full face for daily driving.
I believe you can send used pressure plate, not sure. Talk to Aaron Pyfer at Southbend/DXD.

My disc is custom, it has 26 splines instead of 22 for R154, I will be using a different transmission, I hope it works.

Did you do all the intake manifold or just the upper plenum?
I have my turbo distributor do it for me. I did it all.

Isn't it under the pump ? It only leaks when the pump is bad.

Found it, the one above the relief hole should be capped for single turbo.
Okay I have these NGK 3330 and they recommend them to be gapped at .028-.030, but my plugs are at .035, you dont press the tip back, do you?

Build is coming along nice. If they are copper plugs you can adjust the tip, just be careful when adjusting the tips of htem.
