I don't have a Camry nor do I know anyone that owns one. If you are electrically inclined, you can probe for the power source and the dimming control.
Needles would need to be removed to install as the OEM needles will not shine much (at least the OEM GS needles won't)

Can you do a DIY, anyway?

Having only one day a week to work on this NA-T build has definitely made progress alot slower.
Here are some photo updates.
Gonna use a GTE FFIM so swapped the PS pump, old one was leaking anyways so time for it to go...
Greddy Oil cooler, unknown brand ATF cooler, and HKS Intercooler mounted.
Oil filter relocated.
Friend who owns the shop parted out his GTE, modified the 3" down pipe he was using to fit.
Manifold made the turbo sit too low so had to make a 2" spacer flange for some clearance.
Still have a bunch of stuff to mock up and install. Hope to be boosting 7 PSI until something breaks. Then the stroker block will go in for some real fun.

Why not make a build thread named NA-T or something bud? Anyways it sounds like a cool project. 7psi will only get you around 300HP crank maybe, so you might be fine on stock injectors. If you want to play it safe though, Mazda RX8 Primary Red Injectors are 350cc (oem 2jzge are 250cc) and fit directly in. RX8 yellows are 420cc (what I'm using) and blues are 540cc. All plug and play, no mods. With the yellows and blues, you will need the red injector's tip grommets though which is what I'm doing. When you get to the point of wanting more boost, let me know if you want and I can give you more info if you need it about the injectors.

Something I found locally. About $110 a pair.
They don't have any brackets, just 4 round tabs on the each corner for face on mounting. Gotta make your own L brackets. I have some mesh grill to hide it later when I remove my bumper again.

Turbo and GTE FFIM mocked up.
Since I still have a full GTE motor, I didn't want to modify or weld the upper plenum.
Following this thread I thought the GTE FFIM would be a bolt on affair with some light port matching.

Definitely not true.
I thought perhaps the non-vvti lower runner were some what different and closer match to the VVTI plenum. Also not true. Only the injector holes were smaller and no no vacuum tube protrubing that the GE VVTI lower has. Everything else is pretty much the same.
So the only other guess would be that the SC guy used a non vvti JDM GTE FFIM.
Either way, some fab work was done to the lower, and now they are on the car. This is not ideal nor will be permanent. Will be enough for the current application running only 7 psi.
Photo below was before it was port matched.
The harness cover that ran across the top of lower runner got in the way and the APPS / TCM / TPS wiring has to be routed to the right side of the motor. O2 sensors will be deleted when the HKS Fcon Vpro gets on. So some rework of the wiring is being done. If all goes well, should have a first start video on Saturday.

Wiring cleaned up.
Reinstalled intake manifold and TB and just in time to fire her up with the HKS Vpro.
Still need to sort out some issues as it is in limp mode.
Once that is sorted then will begin to tune.
