The restrictor we made looks very VERY similar to that, we just took a normal 3" flange and put a piece of thin metal in it, then drilled out the center

I installed my driftmotion high pressure hose for the power steering last night. I also installed my fuel pump. Now I am just waiting on a alternator plug...and off to the dyno!

I will, the progress I have been making has been kind of boring....But i did find the origional connector that came on my JDM alternator. Ill be hooking that up today. I also fixed my tach but it wasn't the r109 bypass on mine. Maybe because mines obd2.

My coolant gauge works also! I thought I was going to have to modify something. I'll post some pics tomorrow.

Please share. The temp gauge is quite the mystery. I am about to tap the coolant neck to accept the stock larger 2jzge temp sender. It's M16x1.25

I have no idea about the temperature gauge. Pretty sure its accurate on the dash because my serial gauge is reading a solid temp. But my cluster is different than the older models. I found this out because I jumped the 109 resistor for the tach and nothing happened. Then I found another thread with a tach mod, different resistor, in the same year cluster and it worked. I still have to get my rear hangers tigged up. I also have to pull my power steering resevoir and soak it in a cleaner because I am pretty sure the screen inside is still clogged up. When I first got it it would just bubble over so I cleaned and It worked. But the pump growls when the fluid heats up. I think there is still some gunk in the screen and when the fluid thickens its starving the pump. I will do that today. I also have to mount my serial and boost guage somewhere but I dont know if I want to drill into the dash somewhere or make a pod. I am also supposed to be getting a better map emailed to me for testing purposes before the dyno. That way I can drive it and just make sure everything correct before going to the dyno!

Well, My resevoir is the culprit to my power steering. I hooked up a MK3 resevoir and no growls. So I called toyota and ordered a supra tt resevoir and suction hose. I have to wait til tuesday before it gets here

I just like the way the toyota one looks in the engine bay, the 240 resevoir would work also.
