Update... Since I last updated I've drilled the CPS to use in the 2JZ head. Not happy with the way it turned out but it will work. Did 98% of the wiring work. Still have to wire in O2 sensor and alternator wires but I'm going to do that while its in the car. But as far as I know all of...

Update should come tonight :-) Thanks E! I'd really like to get the engine in the car tonight if the weather holds up. Wiring is mostly done. Just cleaning up and I still have to extend the alternator wire and purchase the O2 sensor and extend and connect. I dremeled the upper timing cover...

Also I know this is a weird question but what did you guys use for bolts to bolt the transmission up to the block? I can't find bolts locally with the correct thread pattern that are any where near the right length. Hell the bolts holding the block to the stand have spacers on them just to...

Awesome! Thanks a million guys! Just have to solder up those last two wires, wire in the SAFC then harness is done (hopefully) and I've got a long list of stuff that needs to get done tomorrow. WOOT! Seriously thanks for the help guys. TPS Yeah i was lazy so I asked the question before...

Do I spy hockey pucks for motor mounts? :) Used those on a friends LS1 240SX. Turned out pretty well if I remember correctly. Great work so far man just keep it up! Insane attention to detail. Good job!!! -Nick-

Definitely need some help... I was extending the ISC wires and uh... I didnt mark which one of the two Black/Red wires goes to the top of the clip and which one goes to the bottom... Yep... Definitely just did that... It's a 6 wire clip stacked 3 and 3 on top of eachother and the black/red is...

So these wires aren't necessary for this setup? Thanks man! Yeah I'm sitting at the dining room table right now doing the wiring. Need to finish up coil pack wires, ISC, about to do TPS which btw I can use the 2JZ NA TPS correct? Then I need to extend the alternator wires then I'll be DONE! At...

Okay awesome. I'll probably have some more questions today/tonight as yesterday was mostly setting the timing up, tapping the union bolt (which I have a question about) painting more stuff flat black. I swear this build should be "The Batman" build or some shit. I kind of went crazy with the...

Ah! I hope it works man! Mainly because I want to see some burnout videos... Keep me updated. I noticed your AFM is coming right off of the turbo which is the same setup i'll be running. So i had a question about how you ran your PCV system. I know the stock 7M PCV goes on the accordion...

Hey Josh I had a question about intercooler piping. Did you have to cut anything on the body of the car to get it to fit? I'd REALLY like to stay away from cutting... Did you use the DriftMotion kit? What size piping? Aaron and DriftMotion made a little mistake and sent me the Oil Pressure...

Well I suppose it's about that time for another update. :-) In our last session we were able to accomplish the assembly of the bottom end. Now how did that make you feel? (Just re-read that with a psychiatrist tone to it. Yeah I'm tired and in a funky mood... :runaway: ) So I had my manifold...

Thanks man I'm tryin! Been looking at your build thread, nice work man! -Nick-

Not a weird post at all man lol. Thanks for the kind words. I believe he has some pit mixed with lab in him. He's a beautiful dog and has a really nice coat. Just about solid muscle and you really cant do too much that will hurt him. -Nick-

Josh: Yep it's that amazing singled 2JZ sound that I really want to hear. Tossing around the idea of switching out the Tanabe. I'd obviously have to find someone local either willing to trade or just figure out something to do with the system itself to let out more sound. Scott: I decided on...

So today was painting and some assembly day. Painted the block flat black Painted the Lexus AFM flat black Painted damaged valve covers flat black. (So the imperfections wouldn't show as much... :() Pict-chas: Block before paint: After Paint: I know this is like my 26th picture of...

Hey man I appreciate it. I'm in Arlington TX right in between Ft. Worth and Dallas. Are you in TX?

Man I was thinking about it but I can't decide on a color. I'd love to go with flat black but theres not much of a point in painting it flat black if I want to trace leaks lol. Grey maybe? I don't know. Thoughts? -Nick-

It was originally for a test fit however they are very snug. I had seen some people use them on Club NA-T and I've seen no issues yet. I originally bought these as the hardware store was the only place open and we couldn't find the correct size bolts so we found it in screws. So I'm debating on...

Also suggestions on exhaust? I'm currently running the Tanabe HM and I love the look however it's too quiet. Should I do something crazy and delete the resonator or gut the muffler? Mind you this system was quiet when running straight pipe from the turbo back. I'd like to keep the muffler...

The block is back from the machine shop. Woot! Tomorrow is assembly time :D Pictures pictures pictures... Freeze Plugs from China Bearings and piston rings. Thanks for tuning in. -Nick-
