I had Aeroquip make a 90 degree flared pipe with a -8 flared weld on fitting at the other end. This and the hose with a 90 degree flared pipe made the same way but shorter is how I beat the heat on turbo lines many years ago.I never ever worry about coolant lines melting any more.

 

I have used this type of cooler for 5 years and I ordered a new one for this build. This thing is huge over all size is Overall Size: 13.5" x 9.5" x 2" Core Size: 9" x 8.25" x 2" Inlet / Outlet Size: 10 AN.

This will be great for cooling and extra oil volume I would think I will have 10 quarts of oil with this set up. My old setup had 9.5 quarts with a bit smaller cooler with a core of about 9x5.5 or 9x6..

I have a dual filter setup from Amsoil one filter holds 1 quart of oil the larger one holds almost 1.5 Quarts of oil. Awesome filtering, and extra volume for cooling

Over all I have used this cooling set up for about 12 years with no issues.

 

I made a bit more progress here with the new remote oil and cooler.

 

I had a -10 flared fitting welded to the cut power steering reservoir. This allows for it to be remote relocated.

 

This is my dual -6 fuel lines with a Y adapter feeding a single -8 that will run under the intake.

 

This is a picture of the turbo oil feed attached to the hard pipe that I mentioned ran under the block that an aeroquip dealer made for me

 

I got the oil cooler set up today, and I am sorting out the intake and the turbo set up. The turbo hits the frame so I will need a spacer that I ordered today. The intake does not have a Q45 flange as advertised so I ordered that flange today as well. Time to get some fabrication done it seems.

 

My favorite car i like the kit you got on man.

 

Thanks a lot man....I am in love with it myself

 

The intake that I ordered will not fit with out fabrication because it hits the brake booster. So I am making it into some what of a long runner. I had to cut the lower runner and weld the upper runner to it. The bottom is complete now on to the top plenum mod.

 

I did a slight removal of weld slag, and excess material from the cut flange.

 

I had to shorten the intake to close the hood with the upper runner on it.

 

Today I did not have much time to work but I test fit the turbo and Intake Manifold. I ordered a 1" spacer to keep the turbo compressor cover from hitting the number 1 exhaust runner. This looks promising and it clears the hood. The 2JZ exhaust manifold fits nice with the Spacer in place, and with minor fabrication I think it will mate to the bottom half of the old 7M manifold to the cat.

The intake needs to be re-fabricated a bit since it hits the hood in the front. The turbo drain and all the water lines were test fitted today, and a MOCK throttle cable linkage was fabricated for throttle.

My Ls2 coils won't sit in the head like they did in the 7M so I can go back to the old style that I used to have them mounted until I get some 1ZZ coils. I already have 1zz pig tails.

I connected the feed of the fuel rail and it plays nice so all I have to do now is set the fuel pressure regulator in and sort out the vacuum.

Tomorrow I will have pictures since I did not get to do any work until after 4 pm and when I stoped it was dark at 8pm!

If all goes well I will start her up tomorrow.

Things I need to do is get the lower IC pipe and a aluminum elbow fabbed to the turbo. I also must fab brackets for the oil cooler.

 

I don't have pictures but I got it all together and tried to start it. It cranked but didn't start, but since it was at night I will have to go back. It is raining here in NY, and it is cold so I will probably wait until Thursday to take pictures and tie up lose ends. I did notice that I have fuel pressure so now I must now check for spark.

I have to also make sure that the grounds are all connected since I saw the ground to the block missing.lol I also noticed that my newly placed oil cooler is located where my IC intake to throttle charge pipe is and one of the filters hits the intake.

 

Well today was a good day....I got it to start. I tried starting it late Monday but it did not start because the CPS plug broke and the plug was inserted upside down. I corrected thAt and it starts. Now I need IC pipes and the intake to be refabbed.

I also must button uo the coils since they will not fit in the COP configuration like they did in the 7MGTE. This will be temporary since I am ordering 1ZZ, or coils from a 2005 Seqoia V8.
