Interesting. This confuses me now lol.

The can use the SC400 reservoir like Adam had said but you will need a bracket made , if you know anyone that can weld aluminum it's easy stuff.

You can use your stock SC300 pump , TT and Na uses the same pump the only difference is the reservoir.
When you remove the reservoir from the na pump which is held on there by a 10 or 12mm bolt , there is your TT pump.
So all you will need is the little nipple fitting on top of the TT pump you will need to order from toyota.

After some unfortunate happenings (shop moving locations and closing) the car is now @ Import Intelligence in PA. Matt W built my old S14 and saved me on that build and he once again is coming to the rescue on this one. His team does it all from motor builds to custom swaps, dyno tuning and cage work etc. So in short i need to get some more funds since he will have to tackle PS, Exhaust, boost and what ever else he encounters.

what's left:
Fan blade install
Radiator install
FMIC piping install
TT fuel pump install and 12V connection
ECU & Ignitor install
Downpipe & Custom exhaust build and install
SC300 power steering swap w\reso & lines
Belts install
Clutch upon start disable
Boost control install
Possibly Apexi afc tune
Gauges

Man do i wish i had a garage! Next house i purchase no matter what will have a garage. Pic of my S14 SR swap done by Import Intelligence! This car just didn't have enough torque but was fun as fawk to romp on. I got the SC about 3 months after i sold her.

Well after a long slow swap the car is done. Will have to wait till the end of the month to get her tho. The guys who started the swap cost me more in the end to have someone else finish had I just went to Import Intelligence first. If anyone wants my 19" AME's PM me! Will post pix when she is back home round the end of the month!

just drove the car home straight from Westchester PA to North NJ without a hitch. With the stock shot tires i have i have zero traction just trying to drive normal. With learning the new clutch setup i'm gonna hold off driving till the weather gets back in the +50's. First impression upon starting. WTF it's quieter than the stock 2J lmao. Cruising is a blast and passing powa is instant. Still on JDM ecu so not gonna push it and experience speed cut . I'll say without even getting on her yet it was worth it. Matt and the guys @ Import Intelligence are true gentlemen. I highly advise. Dudes fixed may shattered spark plug cover (othershops mistake) and cleaned the interior like new. Little things like that is what keeps me in the Auto scene for sure. Fawking grinning right now!
