Received wastegate and fuel pump today. I will be taking it apart and modifying it with some aircraft grade stuff to keep it reliable. I have a guy a work that has been using his for awhile.

Well i am trying to gather parts. I basically have a spare of everything now. Spare motor Spare wiring harness. Just waiting on the ecu to come in from Aliga so i can make a patch harness then install my new engine with everything ready to go. Still need to figure out what to do about this intake manifold. I have all the parts to build one but it doesn't look like the 2jzge intake runner curve enough to clear the 5" D plenum. I didn't go with the half D 4" plenum because I didn't like the TB flange that RMR made for the 4". It looks like crap and not machined to fit the 4" D plenum. Since I went with the 1 inch bigger plenum I have having issues with it hitting the shock tower and the power steering.


I need to drop the back more and maybe raise the front up some more. I have the gixxer drew setup. I should have brought the 500/250 springs. Its a little bit too stiff for me with the 650/350 springs.

I finally drove it for extended period of time today 50 miles to be exact and then another 50 miles back home. I think i should have gotten the 500/250 lbs springs for my gixxer drew setup instead of the 600/350. Stupid output shaft metal cover is hitting the driveshaft on the tranny. I tried to bend it so it wouldn't hit but the metal is so hard it won't bend. The sound is pretty annoying. Has anyone taken it off before?
