Nice looking manifold and housing. Are you planning on wrapping the manifold and down pipe? BTW, I talked to RockAuto. The fan clutch was on warranty, so they are going to exchange it. Should be here in a couple of days.

Rob, none yet. Sean's pic was taken with a cell phone I think. After Steve showed up and found my fan clutch leaking and in need of replacement, to be honest I am a bit frustrated. I also have was told my exhaust leak appears to be coming from the underside of my exhaust manifold. I had it...

Adam, It was nice you could drop in while on your way through Minnesota. It's truly a small world. Hope you have a safe trip home.

Tonight once we got the throttle body wiring set up, dropped in the radiator and cranked her over for several minutes, then we fired her up. She's got a real nice lope at 1000 rpm's :icon_bigg There is an exhaust leak near the turbo, not sure just where yet. Sean is going to chase down things...

Damn, Steve, did you get a pay raise or are there perks working for Toyota? Nice looking manifold

Steve if I remember correctly, with the spool valve we had about a 5-600 rpm difference on spool up. I wasn't convinced that Sean and Shane had it hooked up correctly though, it seemed sticky. This year it really moves easily with our newest set up and so when we dyno, I do plan on at least one...

Yes, I got the notification from UPS that the connector for the power steering will be in today along with a block off for one of the Aeromotive Fuel pressure regulator ports and a new fuel filter. Now if Sean will get out and finish it off. With some luck, we should be able to fire her up and...

More progress. Sean mounted the Q45 throttle body, hooked up vacuum hoses to the intake manifold. We also have been playing with the radiator shroud. I thought we had enough room but didn't. After bending the side lip of the Moshimoto it looks like we will have enough clearance for the shroud...

Do they have plans to move her?Just curious

Sean, did Emilio and Dan buy her?

Drew, Sounds like significant progress. If you need to put her up on the hoist, give me a text. I am still not sure if I am going on Saturday. If I do, it will be with the BMW. Supra is almost ready to rock though.

down funky down boy. Quit picking on Matt

They are supposed to have fixed the strap issue and hold like crazy but smooth engagement. I just hope the 6 puck will last the summer. I am going to get one of those 2 setting manual boost controllers. One setting on 24-25 lbs. The other on 30. Just of those days when you need that extra 100+ h/p.

Steve is correct. I had 550 at 21 lbs of boost an then she developed a knock while on the dyno. We stopped, pulled engine. Had crank checked, put all new acl bearings, but never took her back to complete the tune. Now with new manifold and hopefully a healthy engine, the 67's are know to put...

With luck and as much cash as this has cost me, I should be running low 8's :aigo: Realisticly, I should be low 11s or high 10s. I just hope we can keep her together with out breaking anything. I have concerns about clutch and the fact we had to put new crank and rod bearings in her last year...

Here is the latest photo. Sean has been sanding and buffing and I have some as well. The manifold is bolted on. Tomorrow the throttle cable, intercooler pipes, and fuse box stuff get done. We are expecting more snow tonight. I hope this is the last batch for the season.

Mike, did the new post turbo piece seem to make any difference? How about the BOV?

This week, the manifold will be done and installed, even if I have to hold Sean's feet to the fire. :evil2: He's 80% done just needs a few small welds, grind them smooth and polish her up, and throttle body, throttle cable and she should run. I can't wait.

Steve, your car is really looking nice. Hope we have a chance real soon to get them out of the garage. Been a long winter.

Thanks guys. Having a hoist is so helpful. For example, last night my friend Mike was working on his Evo. He was struggling to get the exhaust manifold off. Really bending at the waist, leaning over the car. Just lifting the car 18" made so much of a difference on his low back. This week, the...
