Looking good! Do you plan to reroute some of the vacuum/fuel/heater hose lines?

Looks great! I actually have my motor out at the moment and plan to tuck my wires as well. Did you have to extend the fuse box wiring at all or just unplug, run through below the fender, and replug under the headlight area?

Thanks! That's good to know. So the majority of the extension is on the passenger side? I'm trying to get my tuck done asap so I can spray the bay and drop the motor. Here's how it sits right now

Hey Slow SC3 I attached a pix of how I was thinking of running my fuse box wires. Is this how you have yours ran or did you unplug the passenger side harness as well and run everything in front area where the coolant reservoir and intercooler are located? If not, could you tell me how you have your box routed? Thanks!

Deceptik1, what wheels are those? THEY DO JUSTICE.


and Slow_Sc3, why'd u decide to do the 1.5 frankenstein? i know teh guys over seas like (esp australia) do that a lot because of availability of parts,etc.

but what's the actual benefit, as opposed to just a complete 3.0 2jz-gte..

i unpluged the 4 connectors inside the car by the pedals and ran the harness out under the head light and extended the plugs like 3 inchs so that you dont see any of the harness and you have to take that plactic part off by the radiator and run it on the outside! its easy. also that brake fluid connector has to be extended a little bit but thats easy also its just two wires.

I had a built 1jz head and that turbo kit on a 1jz and then blew the motor so now I have a USDM gte block from toyota in the car i couldnt beat the deal that i got on it, i didnt feel like spending another $2,000 on building a 2jz cylinder head when i already got the built 1jz head.
