To me the throttle cable fits fine. It's better than spending a lot of cash getting a supra 2jzgte cable new from the dealer.

Anyway lookin good

well it's time for updates. getting colder than ballz here in m.o. and iam working 2nd shift. and i got this beater truck iam pondering on keeping for a winter daily. (an 89 d21 nissan).

so working in my cold dark lair gets annoying sometimes... thanks to a certian member who is also doing a sc400 swap. i saved a ton of money not having to buy oem or arp fwheel bolts..

spent 7 beans on these and seems to fit perfectly. some BLUE locktite and iam ready to go..





so i went to autozone and orderes a fel(you up) pro rear main seal. came with the gasket also for the circle thing around the seal. didn't bother changing it as it looks to have some rtv sealant instead...

so tacking the rear main seal on guess i went way too far..




did a comparison on my ge engine and yep i put it too far on.. so took it off and went to az, they sent me a replacement i have to pick up..

Default GOING SINGLE-step 1

so i finally got around to removing these damn stock twins. and i never never want to do this again... i mean things did get easier when i got my ratcheting cresant wrench and when i finally came up with mt cheater bar idea then it went smoothly. i HIGHLY recommend to anyone doing this or working with cars in general.

you

must

have

the

proper

tools!!!

i never had a ratcheting cresant before. and that did make things much easier. and the cheater bar saved a lot of curses for down the road..

so going single. and here we go...





got all the cold side pipes off that was pretty much easy and straight forward.

above is the bar used from my crafstman jack. doing this made remving the exhaust bolts a breeze. luckily none of them were rusted bad and i didn't strip anything..





this was the hardest bolt to get to. but removing the coolant neck also made that simple..





and the finished product??? a 1JZGE FOR A LIMITED TIME...

the exhaust ports were really grimey.







this sucker is going on sale........ now $100.00+shp for this and pipes and all..


so heres a question. do i need a ge coolant pipe??





and also since iam going to run an hx and it;s only going to be oil fed. i need to plug one of these ports right?? which one would be better to use??





thats all for now..

use the front oil supply hole.

get a m12x1.25 oil drain plug from the parts store screw it in, torque it good. ur done.

i believe you need to order a m12x1.25 to -4 AN block adapter to provide oil to your turbo.

and -4 AN steel braided hose with a length of about 24 to 30 inches might be plenty.

the manifold kit should work for you. just make sure that your turbo setup doesn't hit the strut tower. i got that similar manifold, except my manifold was a T3 and i didnt use the screamer pipe. doesn't really work on the space my car provided. i also had to hack up that downpipe till I fit my setup.

the wastegate seems expensive for an ebay item. i've seen it before. its really kinda lousy. doesn't come with installation instructions. and it never seems to hit 12psi like it claims. u might hit 5psi with it all the time. but 12. maybe.

doens't Driftmotion sell the same stuff? i think they are even cheaper than some of the stuff on ebay.
