1997 SC300 2JZ-GTE current swap step by step
i got that similar message from an ex when i dropped my 1j in, and all the little weekends spent putting in coil-overs, and going to garage sales, oh, and spending couple days a week at the drift track. In time i grew out of it (not wholly) and now i have a gf who wants me to go to the track... strange how **** works. Great job on the build... i am impatient and if it took this long, i would have given up. I did mine in 3 days, and over planned everything. Keep it up.

Probably not.. He's making up for lost time with the lady trying to smooth things over.
I've heard it from a few of mine. I don't let it bother me. They can leave the same way they came in. It may hurt but at least you'll move on..
BTW UPDATE THIS ASAP

just WOW about the lady,at one point i was in the same deal about my wife but she understand that a build come to a end so she just have to go and spend some time in the garage with you.

Suprastore is about the only place I found that had the jdm downpipe for stock twins. I decided to go single which will make a lot of things much easier.
Today I received the water pump and fuel pump. Attached is pics of turbo and bov. The dog is on the table purely for size reference of turbo.

Ok all I can say is sorry for the delay but now I have finished pics of the swap.
I have been driving to work for the past 3 weeks just takin it easy on her. I am trying to build my bank account back up so I can go get her tuned soon. I have basically stayed out of boost, maybe 1-2 psi because I couldn't stand to not hear the bov. She drives awesome, no leaks, no hiccups. Power steering, AC, and all accessories work fine. Tranny shifts smooth at least now before I can throw some power at her. I cant wait to get her tuned and on the dyno and look at the numbers.
