man all that money on that head and u went back to the stock vvti head. oh well. i would of held out till i could of used the GTE head.

good looks. can't wait to see what this car puts down.

where in FL are ya?

 

He is located in palm bay fl, literally 10 mins away from me

 

dang. close! im down in Port Saint Lucie. at least a 45 minute drive. maybe 1 hour.

 

I know... But I have plans for that head... I have a bottom end that I'm going to re-build and use that head on... That motor will be a monster when I'm thru with it..

 

Well the build continues... So I finally got the car off the lift and out of the muffler shop (Time Valves Melbourne FL.)
I got "most" of the plumbing done. The only thing that wasn't completed was/is the blowoff valve. But no worries, the tunner said that he would take care of that....

But anyways, here are a few pics of the where I am as of today.

Here's a tease of the finished build:


Here are a few of the muffler setup:






These are of my buddy Mike at Time Valves in Melbourne FL. making some custom pieces for my car... This guy is AWESOME. 99% of his work is on Ferrari's and the like... He set aside this whole Fri. to handle my Lexus. He does A class work... NO BULL ****!.. "Thanks Mike"








Finally. Here are some of the car loaded up and ready for it's trip down to Miramar so that I can get my Mega Squirt standalone installed and tuned: "Damn it's been over 2 months since my car has been started... It feels like forever!" But I'm still on track to complete this build in 90 days!!!

 

I do not even want to know how much you paid for that head, but man, you could have just reconditioned a used one and been fine... if not better. Because your going to mess with it anyways.

 

Nice work.. Can't wait for a dyno video...
Is the the xspower intake manifold?

 

Nice! Is Shaodome tuning your car?

 

This is a sweet looking car... The BW S366 seems to be a popular turbo.. lets see some interior pictures and a dyno sheet!!

 

I'm taking it to MTR ( Manic Tech Racing) in Miramar....

 

I told him to let Shaodome tune it,,,lol

 

looking forward to results!

 

Great build! Cannot wait to see finished product! Keep up the good work!

Also... Could you give us some feedback on the XSpower intake manifold??? Install issues..if any?? what TB are you running??

 

Looks good

 

x2^^^

Love this build btw... cause I have the same yr and color sc and am trying to decide now if i wanna use my singled 1j or go na-t vvti for awhile.
