Teaser for you guys
A few of you may have checked out my other thread with the wheels, coilovers, brakes etc... I mentioned I had some other stuff in the works so yesterday I got some time and pulled the trigger on my next "mod". I'm a newb here and figured i would enter the Gs world with a "bang" lol...

Nobody gives a damn about your swap bama!!
Your running out of time D, you gonna get it finished before you gotta go back to the great white north?
By the way, you trying to get out on the bikes this weekend? Hit me up.

Well, I should have the car up and running in two nights (more like a week, lol), if I'm here this weekend I'll be down for riding. *Might* be out of town but not sure yet, I'll give you a call on it.

Update, car is done, drove it home tonight 
Need to pick up an afc as it is running super rich (over 10:1) with the Us spec injectors. I'll post pics of it completed tomm. if I get a chance, thanks for the compliments guys. Myself and a friend did all the work. Took 6 days of working (started last tuesday at 6pm) after our "regular" hours. I'm goin to post up a bunch of things that need to be addressed when doing the swap, just have to get them all in order. These are a couple quick pics as we were wrapping up, I know the quality sucks, more will be posted shortly with better quality and engine bay pics.

Nice swap.. yes it must be something in the water in MD ( i was born there and spent the first 22 yrs before moving to MB, SC) Now I rock a GTE'd 1st gen with custom twins.
In regard to the rich condition of the USDM injectors.. did you put a resistor pack on for them? The drivers are different impedance. The SAFC2 will do no good for below WOT on the GTE ECU. It will change back any settings for idle/cruise. Just drive the car in normal conditions and the ecu/o2 sensor will adjust the maps to be stoich at cruise and safe at WOT.
The guys over on SF all have their SAFC Hi/LO THR point set to 5%LO and 90% Hi. The Toyota ECU is very smart and very flexible. It will self adjust to the larger injectors, just make sure the USDM resistor box is wired in.
