customs 3 inches intercooler piping

Left: Retrodrive ride with big turbo
Right: my ride with stock turbo

Any similarity?

I just notice that his engine is a bit lower than mine: I think it should be at least 2 inches lower.

parts that need to ask for when buying used engine : from left to right ....Hydralic fan control, engine ECU, Fuel pump relay. Dealer price for the above part will be expensive.

Denso Mazda 20B rotary fuel pump. Engine still bog when boost- will need to figure out what went wrong. I think something in the fuel system was the cause.


ans to Bicol-ini : Bangkok traffic is jam pack ... too many car to little road.

Will bring the pony to drag strip soon, still wait for part called "traction bar" from U.S. ; the car experience strong wheel hop under hard acceleration. But from my feeling it accelrate faster than my other Cedric with RB26(which ran 14.6 - 1/4mile) so I assume it will be in mid to high 13sec. range.

1. need extra deep # 37scoket to remove this part and replace it with one from LS400 units.
2. I don't have the deep soket so I grind the end tip off about half cm.
3. Easy part is to swap the back plate.
4. not original Toyota part but work fine.
5. Hard part is to remove the whole rear suspension to weld the spacer and measure the level. At least 2 strong men is need in this part. But if you can weld upside down then no need to remove the whole suspension.

Ohlin - coil over strut from Supra JZA80..I bought it used for $200. The one up front is a bolt on but the one in the back need some modification as picture. This Ohiin unit allow height adjustable up to 3 inches.

Look like you are making progress. Make sure the weld does hold.
