Any pics of the cold side? And on a side note for your piping, the ends without the rolled edges, I would get the welder to weld a little bead around the edge to prevent the piping blowing out of the coupler.
I learned that the hard way...on a road trip...4 times.

just out of curiosity, why would you change out the seals and gaskets AFTER you drop in the engine?

because i was thinking as soon as i get my engine to replace all the gaskets and stuff before i dropped it in, just to make things easier and cleaner.

The reason is that i do not want to mess with anything that could mess the engine up right away. Well i guess i am afraid that something could get messed up and i was the reason that it happened instead of the engine just coming like it. Just want to make sure it runs before i do anything to it.

here you go! I took off the tow hooks, and unbolted the power steering lines. The piping i used a 90 degree cut on the turn so it's a 45 degree with 2 inces extended on it. The rest was fun stuff... 2x75 degree angles.

hmmm... never thought of that. Good idea especially if the engine has a start-up warranty. im sure that the importer would try to get out of paying any way they can, if the motor was bad.

nice work! can wait to see it completed.

So I guess that's one of the difference with our Intake manifold. Mines is taped and drilled. I can't wait to start this swap.

well today i put the driveshaft in, recieved my oem parts from elmhurst toyota. Hooked up the fuel return line, grounded the engine top and bottom and one of my friends stopped by and wanted to see how the tial looked since i had it welded in a front bumper vent, so i ended up throwing the target soarer headlights, front bumper, origin fenders and side skirts back on, uhh it looks good! but is dirty.

Well my car has the 2jzge vvti engine and I like the vvti set-up. As far as I know from the net. The 2jzgte vvti has the same short block as the non vvti. The only difference is the vvti
