Default Big single SC400 GTE in progress

Hey guys well been messing with my 2JGTE SC400 for a while now. Here are a few pics of where I started and where I am now. I will be done here probably around june I am guessing.


Wel here it is when I got it.



Here is where I was a few days ago before the rain. Gonna be doing allot of welding this weekend trying to get the charge pipe made up and a few other odds and ends. Also new timing belt and TMS damper still to be installed.

Great start with your swap...where did you get your motorset from? Are you running auto, or manual?

Yeah I like it beats buying a stilton clutch lol. I had 2 6spd MKIV's and regret it lol. Make over 600+ and buy a 5000$ clutch no thanks lol. I am using a IS300 stewing wheel for the suprastick. I only plan on making like 650whp tho so I mean not trying to go to crazy lol.

How do you like the suprastick? I am torn between tranny swap and that suprastick I haven't really heard much on it yet. Build looks sexy. Love the wire tuck your doing must be a PITA
