ooooo. Nice! be sure to post up numbers. What are you doing to lower the compression?

Btw, please relocate that oil catch tank. If it leaks, it'll drip right onto the hot exhaust manifold. oil + super hot metal = fire.

 

Great project!!!
I'm signing on for updates.

 

Looks clean, perfect.........
What are your fuel mods...?

 

Good luck man... There will be a lot more steps though

 

I guess you'll just be running low boost then. A hg job can get pricey.

 

Looks great so far and take Mikal's advice and relocate that catch can to be safe. Good luck.

 

I know plenty of ppl fun the XS brand stuff, but I would highly recommend cyro treatment on your exhaust mani, for the added couple dollars its worth it. Just like shotpeening rods it will help under extreme conditions.

Also like the above are you beefing up the internals to lower comp, or are you just going to run lil psi, or is there a super secret gte bottom end with oil squirters and oem parts on the way?

 

Looks great, I have been debating about this for a while. Let me know more about the engine management you are running, never heard of it before, is it a piggy back or standalone, where can I buy it, how good is it? Good luck witht the project, should be a blast once its done!

Use a ratchet and a torque wrench. Impact gun is for removal.... or putting wheels on.

Your ride looks very very nice, the setup is sweet and the fact that you are VVTi means your install should go very smoothly. Please keep us posted with more pix and info.

FWIW, SSAC is XSPower (me) and you will not have an issue with the mani cracking. You can make good power with that setup and if you lower the compression you can bump up the boost. Stock TT HG (1.3mm) is safe to 16 psi..... which on that motor with the right piggybacks and injectors will put you at about 420WHP (assuming you have the auto). More than enough power to shred your tranny You can find more info and pics of the kits installed on other cars (supra, sc, GS) over at clubna-t.

Looking good, congrats :bigthumb: Please let us know what you do with the OBD2 ecu to prevent it from self tuning out your tune.

 

Any updates?
