Exciting times. Soarer is in the final stages of mapping and ironing out nigglies. Feels really good so far. That 2j bottom end really beefs up the low down. Ill post vids when finished

 

Very nice !. I see you have an oil filter relocation kit. I just found out this weekend that with a similar intake manifold I have I will also need a relocation kit. The filter was very hard to reach and twist off.

 

tell me about it! I drop the oil every 1500 miles so i needed it to be easy to do

 

+1 on the oil filter relocation kit. Additionally, I see two BOVs easily accessable from within the engine bay.

What exhaust manifold is that? It appears the turbo is sitting fairly high. Does that make for easy access to the wastegate? Also, how is the IC piping routed from the intercooler to the TB?

Nice project!

That sure is one curvy cold side I/C pipe..

 

the ex manifold is actually an ebay cheapy. I ordered one to see the fit and i like the fact it sits high. As you mentioned, easy access to wg. I braced the manifold with 4 lengths of round bar:




The IC pipe follows the route your normal kits do eg greddy. It is 3inch piping from start to finish where it flares to 4inch for the 90mm tb.

 

this one was taken from underneath the car. You can see the wg is tucked up quite neatly under the manifold. From the top its easy to fiddle with it.

 

are u full 1jz or 1.5 jz

 

1.5jz

 

****'s hot man, mad props!

 

So shinny!

 

Good work.


im very interested in the 1.5j. u said it beefed up low end, is it worth the extra cash? How much extra csh is it exactly?
