are you planning on putting that intercooler in upside down?

Core holes are at the top.

Just asking.

nice write up!

Haha, that would be funny.

I'll get the intercooler mounted tomorrow night, and I'll throw the bumper cover back on to see what it looks like.

yes driveshaft shops in AUST FTL!!!! They do not like to do many things. I also could not find a shop that want to weld Aluminiminimimniminim. I found 1 guy that wanted $90 an hour and said to weld a bung in my oil pan would be ~ 2.5 hours.

Not to hijack...I test fitted the engine in and took it back out. Waited for the harness (can not wait much longer ) and also need to order engine mounts...these are tore up...


Good luck man. Looking real good.

everything looks good. the only comment i had was the griffin initially painted on the wrong side and you fixed it. also when you removed the auto trans you dont need any special offset tool or anything. the small inspection cover that mounts to the bottom of the oil pan comes off and gives you clear access to the trque converter bolts. no need to go through the starter hole.

keep us updated.

Wow, your right! I did not even think about the access hole and taking the bolts out..Doh!

I knew it shouldn't have been that hard...glad I didn't strip any bolt heads doing it the wrong way.

Got another update.

I contacted Boost Logic, and they're going to build me a 1 piece driveshaft!

I dropped off the driveshaft at Boost Logic today. I got to spectate while they were working on Chris Johnsons 95' blk/blk Sc300. You might want to check for teaser pics on Supraforums, if you have time. That car is going to be one of the sickest Sc300s.

I was inspired.

I picked the rest of the clutch hub washers up today from Toyota so I could install the clutch.


Clutch fork greased up


I couldn't help but assemble the shifter so I could go through the gears! I actually installed the shortshifter that I bought for my W58. It bolted right up!

Load Leveler FTW!


And it's in!


Most everything is hooked up right now. The Soarer fuel supply line was cross threaded so I had to make the stock sc300 supply line work. It's shorter than the Soarer fuel supply hose, and I think it'll be ok for now. It's just a little more tight than I'd like to see.



I do have a couple questions like
Where does this ground cable go to?


I couldn't figure out how to route the 2jzgte throttle cable either.


This was just a mock up picture.

I'll do that tonight.

I have the mount pretty much built made already.

EDIT: kinda looks like it, but the intercooler pipes are not cut yet.
