It's always an exciting process, kinda sucks when you run out of cash when you projected that it wouldn't cost as much... lame alright i got a huge deal on my engine since the place labled it a supra and it was an aristo so my total costs as of this point is 3150, I do most of the work myself and shop around for cheapest prices, I still need to cut the exhaust piping, get a transmission temp gauge and see what i can do about my cruise cable.

That's good news. I was going to try and start mine yesterday but it rained all day over here. I just have to run the harness through the fire wall & plug in the ECU. I just want to see if she runs or crank over. The custom downpipe is on the way.

Yes for me too & the SC300 lower Radiator hose works fine. I just cut the hose at each end to get a better fit.

If you have the right gauges, they're not a light show. I'm with MTEELE on that one. Personally I'm mounting a triple pod on the dash, like the Z gauges. When i get a boost spike or my EGT goes to 1900 F, i will know right away. But, for each his own, great progress by the way.
