Default NA-T in the process pics

Alright, I've been saving up for parts and paying off the car the past 2.5 years since I got the Lex, slowly workin on it. Finally it's in the shop getting ready to be boosted. Then for paint and body. Then to open tracks and driftin. I've chose my parts wisely, keepin most all JDM shet except for AEM EMS which is a no brainer since it's the best default to tuner for 2jz's. More to come later. Below is my parts list I've been acquiring, I think I've ended up spending too much for show as well, but most of the stuff I found for a gre deal on ebay or at cost. I'll be doing stock boost at first, maybe 10 pounds. Then later do the headgasket and headstuds to turn it up to a 1bar. I just need to get it out right now. I'll be posting more pics and progress up later as it gets worked on.

Your patience is very strong! collecting parts for 3 years must've been pretty horrendous for you.

I've been collecting stuff for nearly a year and I'm about fed up and doing what it takes to finish my car this summer.

good luck on this project, the mod list is very long.

Very nice parts. if you need dyno tuning let me know. SR motorcars has one of the most knowledge in Lexus and especially the AEM EMS tuning.

SR Motor car's # is (310) 516-1003 either ask for Steve, the owner. Thanks

Impressive list of HQ parts
I am very surprised not to see any head gasket on that list
You should add that First IMHO.
Good Luck on your project.

Thank you all. I'm in Sacramento, so my mechanic Warren at Midnight Performance will be tuning the car and making the turbo manifold and everything else. We'll see what we can squeeze out on 91 pump gas at 10psi. Your right, I wanted to do the headgasket and headstuds now, but mechanic says he'll do it later since he has too much other stuff to do and he's getting backed up. I've been waiting awhile already, but patience is of the virtue. Yeah, I got the car in fall 03, so now I'm finally getting to boost it.

well the saying is patience is a virtue. good job on staying in the right direction with your car. most guys would have given up way before a 3 year time span. the best thing is when you get her up and going; you're gonna love it. again, great job!!!

Now that is a very nice list of collected parts. I have stuff collecting dust in my garage as well. But no where near as nice as that. Have fun with it in the shop. This will be the hardest time till it gets finished.
