It's looking beautiful under the hood I want to get a turbo blanket & either a TRD strut bar or Tanabe

 

Shouts out to Josh over at Ice Cold Muffler in Orlando for helping mount my exhaust. Came out good & sounds amazing. 3"-3.5" single straight out the back.

 

Damn son, you don't mess around! I feel like it was just a month or so ago that you have a 1j VVTi in there.. Hurry up and get the BW setup, I've had 3 CX racing turbo bearings go bad on me haha sucks when the turbo starts smoking really badly and you start losing oil!

Exhaust looks dope as well, need a sound clip to confirm how great it sounds brotha

 

Lol yeh man it definitely pulls...I plan to go S366 eventually. I haven't been pushing the car hard, so it should last me til that point. Next mod will be brake upgrade. I need to set up a youtube channel so I can post links to vids. Also have some exterior mods on the way.

 

The only thing that threw me off in the engine bay was that wrinkle powdercoated looking pipe. That would look so much better polished or black.

 

Yeh I didn't do that lol but it will be replaced with a Boostlogic 4" polished intake once I get my AEM V2 ecu and Borg Warner SXE turbo. Don't worry it'll all be sorted out ;-)

 

Well, then I'm excited. Great work!

 

Thank you sir...stay tuned

 

Looking good man. Cant wait to see what kind of power you're going to get. I'm thinking of pulling my 1j and going 2 after i milk her for all she has.

 

Thanks I'm trying my best lol. I have a few exterior upgrades coming but I decided to go AEM V2 as far as ecu is concerned. Still trying to figure out injector size for my set up. Honestly I'd go 1.5JZ with the 1J instead of going 2J.

 

Took the factory fuel pump out & got the Walbro 450 fuel pump installed in tank

 

Installed my digital AEM boost gauge & AEM wideband. Got a dual gauge pod to sit on my steering column so all of my gauges can be right in front of me at all times. I'll have to trim the bottom of the gauge pod a little to have it sit flush.

 

So I got fed up with the electric fan reliability & hit up Aaron and the Driftmotion crew to source a full MK4 TT clutch fan & shroud set up. Now I don't have to worry if my fan is working or not. Found out the electric burned out & stopped running. I caught it while I was at idle thankfully.

 

Installed my Hayden 516 High Performance transmission oil cooler to keep the trans cooler. Easy install in front of the ac condenser & huge cooler.

 

So my next upgrade is my braking system. I want to give a huge shout out to Carlos Santos over at Lexus Auto Tek in CA for the amazing service he gave me when purchasing this set of front TT calipers & hardware. I'm in the process of getting rear TT calipers as well with front & rear rotors plus pads.
