My 2jzgte swap
#77
Hi SMB, What size is the Air Flow Meter housing (pipe). It looks like you have the factory piece, I had to get one fabricated and I've read that if it's off a little is can throw off the a/f mixture. I just want to be sure I'm running the correct size pipe.

Thanks bro, i'll try to snap some soon. were actually trying to plan out a really cool photo shoot but i may post up some teasers in the mean time.
As far as updates yes! lol
I actually just received my Daizen bushings from TM Engineering. Im not looking forward to it but i will be installing then soon. Along with that I have new OEM toyota outer tie rods and lower ball joints.
I also did a mini kind of retro fit on my headlights, well kinda lol. As my car is originally non-hid, I switched out the bolws for the hid bowls. This supposedly allows the hid to reflect better but i dont really see a significant difference lol. but they do look a tad different so i was up for it. I also blacked out the inner surrounds.
Im also on the hunt for some new wheels!!!!!!!
Got a few more things up in the air but i wont say until theyre definite, stay tuned! thanks!!!

Just wanted to say thanks for all the info on your swap, i am currently trying to help my buddy do this on his car, we got the motor in and are starting the reconstruction and intercooler here shortly. i have been doing a lot of reading on the wiring of this swap but have only been able to find bits and pieces of what may or may not be neccisary. The ECU we got with the swap seems to be plug and play so i would imagine that the wiring for the ECU should be more or less the same i was wondering if you had any pictures or any detailed info as to what you had to do, I am an electronics Tech in the Navy so wirinf is my thing but i am a little gun shy when it comes to the ECU and the more info teh better thanks

Where can I get the longer upper radiator hose? I'm overseas and wont be able to get it here. Do you have a part number? Seeing how common the swap is, someone must know. thx

i honestly dont know what car that radiator hose was intended for. i went to the autoparts store and asked to look at there radiator hose selection and i picked one out that was the shape and basic size i needed( long straight with a 90). i had to do some slight trimming but it came out great.

And as far as the wiring itself, the ecu does plug right up, but the wiring will need to be repinned. Unfortunately I dont have the exact info on the pins to relocate
