No hydro fan. I welded the fittings and ran the Hydro fan Water pump.

Removing the A341E to make room for the R154.
Flywheel has been ordered, an XTR Chromoly unit.
I'm using stock Pressure plate from an MKIII 7mgte, and ordering the stock disk as well. No pucks.
Pedals, master, slave, front prop shaft, and lines and i'll have 5 gears! Yeay-errrrr!

Stainless DC TIG Fabrication made easy!

Step 1.
Cut off the wastegate flange and rotate to vent Wastegate "Waste" back into the exhaust.
Dump pipes sound horrible, and with a lot of people in here trying to "do it right" I don't see why someone would want to cut this corner and kill the beautiful engine note of the JZ, and the Turbo compressor.
Step 2.
Clean the Tungsten, and all parts to be welded with carb or brake clean.. I use 2% Thoriated for Stainless.
Step 3.
Tack welding. You can see here I am not using any filler. Tungsten Stickout is 1/8". Tack all the way around the joint as if you are stitching a wound.
In TIG welding the Tighter the joint to be welded, the better the weld.
In some cases if your gap is too big, the Torch will burn both sides of the joint and make a big hole, so be careful with prep!
Step 4.
Finish the weld. I use 3/32" Tungsten and filler. 304L filler rod.
55 amps for this kind of thickness, keep that torch UP at a 70 degree angle towards the puddle.
Complete! Now on to the Downpipe Vband, and wastegate pipe!

It's a short run of Ebay manifolds, they only had like 4 of em. But they have undivided T3 flanges so in case I wanna make a QSV it's ready to go.
