Interior is back together and complete. Started working on the Airbox to Turbo Inlet piping. Ended up just buying a 3" 45 degree bend and a 3" 60 degree bend and connecting everything.



Now im just waiting for the cold pipe to throttle body for a 2jz to show up in the mail. Need to start thinking about a power steering reservior, and to extend the wire harness.

Alright, much progress, and even got to drive it around. Sorry for the lack of posts here. But many updates below!!!
SO sense my last post, where i got my intake set up, and was waiting for my TB cupler. Ended up going with the JZZ80 stock replacement in purple! The little one did not fit anything, and if it fits on a suppra, then the soarer intercooler is way better.

And after i handled the wiring, we were ready to run. Gotta short lil video of the car running without exhaust, just straight OEM down pipe with the cat knocked out, and a little bit of 3 inch piping after the flange.

After getting the car running, drove it down to my buddys exhaust shop, A1 Muffler, in Woodland CA he is on the forum also, he goes by MeUnVmost. We went with 3 inch from the precat to the y pipe, and 2 1/4 from the y pipe to the mufflers. We also used a pice of a dodge exhaust because of its nice manderal s bend.


Still have flanges on everything, so I could go back to stock,





Got my wideband in,

So now the car is running, and sounds great. All im waiting for is the Power Steering reservoir. Its coming from Australia, and i think its at my house waiting for me, but unfotunaly im out of town working. SO when i get back ill get it installed, hopefully fix my tach and water temp gauge, and make another video for everyone.

The reason i didn't go with the sc400 is because the power steering lines are on the other side and the reservoir bolts to the radiator. This one will bolt up to the wheel well on the right side.

Alright, more progress. Finally got back in town after being on the road for 10 days straight. My power steering reservoir came in. Got it installed. The engine bay in nearly complete. Here's the Reservoir before cleaning it up,

And installed.


Next up, thinkin im putting the big front mount intercooler on it. And I think I need a new O2 sensor for my AEM, it dosen't fluxuate enough in my opinion. It stays around 14.1 - 14.5 or 14.8-14.9 almost all the time, wither I'm reving the engine or flooring it... Also im thinking ima need the Fuel Cut Defender, cuz that 120 mph fuel cut scared the crap out of me when it hit. Lol, thats all for now. Im already out of town, ill be ordering my intercooler piping while im on the road so it will show up when I finally get home again.
