Anymore pictures of the intercooler mounting? Specifically looking straight down from top. I want to see how close it is too all of the lines behind it.

Car looks great, and all of the pictures are cool too, have given me some ideas for my own project, thanks!!

I'll add some , you will need to modify the ac piping support, because need to move little up and back the lines, its not difficult, but need to be careful to ovoid damage the lines

For the intercooler support, I make to holes in the front aluminium protection from down to up, the down side need to use a biger bit drill, because need space to pass thru the tool to tie the nut from begin

fell free to ask any doubt or question tha you have

regards.

the filter need to move it up, to clear the top of the intercooler




here is a pic of the bolt install it, in the front aluminium protection

Thanks Carlos, I really appreciate it. Be sure to post up more pics as the project progresses, and good luck with the rest of the build.

No problem and I will

Look what arrive to day , water and power steering tanks, and 45 4" couple

If you think the exhaust system have good quality design, see this

AntmanGT

Hey are you using the Aristo automatic?

carlosptr2

yep, the customer want the auto trany

carlosptr2

so after few day of relax, waiting part to arrive, we can continue with some action

we receive the trany cooler and the exhaust pipes to finish the down pipe







the aristo engine, didn't came with the power steering container, so need to install a supra MKIII PS container :S we don't have to much space to install it :S

time to work in the exhaust system, the customer didn't want to change the existing exhaust system, so we need to connect the down pipe to the existing exhaust, let see what can we do

First we will cut the flange from the first catalytic converter





them time to build the piping to connect the down pipe and the exhaust pipe, it was difficult to do it, but not impossible







then time to finish the down pipe

carlosptr2

Downpipe done





Time to install the transcooler





then, we need to install a electric fan, because the fan blades hit the ic piping

parts needs!








Custom bracket to install the fan in the radiator







i hope tomorrow will be finish

carlosptr2

the electric fan its ready


this is the wiring diagram

When the ignition switch its on, the fan will run at low speed
Whet the temperature reach 200F, the fan speed will change to Hi







need to extend the temperature sensor harness, to have a better sensing










now the ic piping its done



a small vid

carlosptr2

so time to fix the signal of the tachometer, we need to remove the gauge cluster and weld a wire jumper to fix and work the tachometer











some pics of the ic pipig

carlosptr2

lexus almost done

we build additional bracket to the down pipe, because the existing exhaust system its heavy,







then proceed to build the wastegate discharge pipe
