yea i was thinking about the 8.8, i'd like to keep a 4 lug pattern too, so that id take into consideration.
i had to flip the car around....here is how it looks with the wheels and i was able to fit the grill back on. I'll try to snap more pics soon.
yea its solid...still debating on my rear options. I found a 1500 CFM fan also...ugh this should be interesting...I know the radiator should work for a bit. Matt Small used the same radiator in a 2j miata swap...so im pretty sure its capable.
thanks man...its been on hold for a while...back at it though. Tranny is mounted. Radiator is almost fully mounted, ordering fan soon...hoping 1200cfm will suffice.
Going to take everything apart this weekend to do some more welding. Should be able to have updates then.
Ok still working on the intercooler piping...until i can find a good local tig welder i will use a bunch of couplers heh...very tight space so i think this is the only way to route the pipes...for now. Don't mind the tape as the radiator isn't mounted yet. Need it there to make sure nothing is...
no real progress, still mocking up the trans mount and figuring other things out. However i did buy some wheels for it....couldnt resist at the price.
lug nuts are sitting on my desk as i type this heh
mounts have been made....here's a teaser....
started working on the "Exhaust" my welding is pretty bad...need practice but this build isnt pretty to begin with so ah well...
Cleaning up bay and test fitting half rad, (i know it MIGHT not be enough to cool it but we shall see) had to notch the frame but everything will get some support welded on.
Another test fit with modified gte manifold and yes that's a turbo...
Haven't decided on what rear will go in and...
Ok i'm finally updating this thread because i believe everything will work out at the end. Here's what i have so far. I'm not a professional so things won't be pretty....at least for now.
I had an extra motor laying around so i decided to see if it fit.
yes hood closes
and some...
thanks for info man.....i will try to do so...will start on a new thread on my project very soon, hopefully i will get advise on there too.
sucks to hear about the trans but im sure the built one will take the punishment. Not sure about the PP tho...spring might be out of wack.
Definitely keep...
Question. didnt really find the answer. Will the stock 7mgte spark plug Wires work on the 2jzge? I feel like they dont snap onto the spark plugs....too short maybe?
i bought a innovate lc-1 wideband a while back from a friend of mine...tested it today and i cant get it to read anything. I havent talked to him about it since it was a while back and he's always busy but i wanna make sure its not working before i continue. I tried a brand new sensors so its...
7m rare? heh....
if you have the money...go with the 2jzgte, 2jzge-t, or even a 1jz...if not save up. I will never trust a 7m again (my personal experiences).
my .02 cents
love ur car man, thing is super clean and def. well done. You gonna be able to make it to our end of summer meet?
Also do you still have the extended shifter housing for that w58?
