Default Greddy Silver electronics

this makes it easy to maintain, easy to see and extract if maintenace is required.... also very neat. every single wire and wire set is labled so you'd have to be a dumb**** to pick the wrong cable or sensor.

Default close ups

the nut on the brake block is all now chromed, see the dp and the waste gate and turbo mainfold all jet hot coated. Again.. this area gets supper hot.
Big Turbos= lots of heat.

Default spare 2jzgte

This a new short block which I'll build up for 1300-1500hp. But this is for my next project... I almost have all the parts then it machining and assembly.
This will come to live only when I get sell of a few things... plan is to build it with a getrag 6spMT the chassis is TBD... I like the AC Cobra or the Daytona from the mid 60's. I saw one today on a flat bed and WOW.

Do you have a special water neck? I don't see how you will get the coolant from the waterpump to the radiator with the turbo clocked that way. That's the way I 'wanted' to route my pipes.

The Torsen is from an ARISTO

My OE USDM Diff is disassembled and the carrier is in my freezer. Just haven't gotten around to installing it. I already had the pumpkin hot tanked and I'm polishing the cover myself (not easy to do!)

If I don't use it, you'll get first dibs on it. Ask me again around April this is when I'm going to take inventory of all the parts I have. I need to clean out my garage so that when my wife gets mad at me I have somewhere to stay. LOOOOOOLLLLL.

The waterneck installed is a modified OE GTE water neck. there's another type SP fabricates when installing the GT47/8x turbo.

I see your manifold is just clocked better than mine. Then again I only paid $90 for mine. I had to pull and plug the coolant lines on the neck just to fit the intake pipe. I had to order a special radius bend to clear it, I foget the dimensions now.

The final one used is all smooth. I was going to go with a Mier electric water pump and also dual electric fans instead of a clutch fan and OE water pump. But decided to retain an OE look overall.

Either way would have worked and costs would have been the same

Default battery relocated to trunk

There's a lid too. will have to install a batter hold down and also locking clips for the lid. Sound system... TBD.. I'm trying to get an audio store to sponsor me...

Getting sponsorship for a 1st GS300 is very tough.. most manfactures like the more current and popular tuner cars. WRX, Honda's... Anyone out there have any luck getting sponsors?
