Received the Gates Racing timing belt, for a really good price. And also talked to Sound Performance. They will have a SC300 in their shop in April, and said they will be able to fab a custom catch can for me. And yes it will have the intake line for the vacuum. The price should be between $300-$400. A whole lot better than $800 from Powerhouse Racing.
And another item that I have not mentioned, is a full stainless steel braided clutch line, which will be here next week by Chase Bays. The clutch line was the only thing I had to cut to remove the engine/trans. I will try to continue engine assembly tomorrow. I will have to clean the upper oil pan and remove the sealant from it. Fun fun fun...

Small update:
Got the upper oil pan installed today, with Toyota sealant and all torqued down. Talked with the good people of T1, and I will be ordering my ID2000 injectors and getting my custom catch can from them. The catch can will have the 2 lines from the valve cover, and one line going to the turbo intake pipe. The catch can will cost around $200. I will get my own lines from some Air Force people, as we can get that for free. That's much better than the $800 from Powerhouse Racing, and $300-400 from Sound Performance. Can't wait!
Just an idea for you guys. It will not have the filter on it, since there will be a line going to the turbo.

More updates:
Got the lower oil pan, oil girdle, and oil pickup installed. Then installed the water pump today, and noticed I need to replace 2 o-rings for that. So I will have to go and order those tomorrow. Also ordered a new oil pressure sensor, and 6 BKR8EIX spark plugs. JDL autoworks also said they will start the catch can on friday, so I will pay them a combined amount for the injectors and can. Progress...
