finishing touch......
ok guys, i finally took pics of the car with the complete 2jzgte swap.
im still looking for a place to mount the turbo timer and boost controller. right now it's temporary mounted on top of the steering column. the swap took about 1 1/2 months and the car runs real strong. tks for the install and fine tuning at R1 Motoring in monterey park. i am also running the greddy BCC so that i can boost a little more than 1bar. i know it's not real safe to go over one bar but it's always fun boosting more once in a while !!! hehhehe well, enjoy the pics guys. future plans are bigger brakes and probably add some vertex sides and rear to complete the exterior look.
[
(intercooler is hardly noticeable. note the sides of it are painted black, same as the intercooler piping)
(im runing a custom made 3inch downpipe which splits to 2 1/2 to the rear mufflers. i took out the stock resonators and i opted my stock 2nd catty to a magnaflow free-flow one.)
(my engine bay with TRD strut bar. tks to STEVE GANZ at carson toyota !! i also have carbon fiber spark plug cover for a nice look .)
(different angle, damn i gotta change that battery....)
(straight up.....)
(my interior. im planning to swap the stock steering wheel with 3-spoke. still looking for one.)
(final pic..my greddy boost gauge. i am waiting for my greddy EGT gauge and will install right next to it. for some reason this pic look real funny.........can you guys tell me why? hehhehe )

Wow awesome job man!! Car looks amazing! I love your wheels and the clean black exterior. Once you get the new steering wheel it will make you interior look even sweeter. Maybe some new floor mats too. 
Have you got it dynoed yet? What kind of numbers??

Is it me, or does that coil pack cover have no vents? If it has no vents, hurry up and get rid of it ASAP, as it will destroy the coilpacks. They re-disgned them a bunch of times for the supra guys because they kept cooking coil packs till they realised it needs vents, the factory one has vents as well.
