I originally had a 72mm ITS turbo on my 1JZ, and it was pretty lazy, I was seeing 18psi around 5300 rpms. Upping the Displacement from 2.5L to 3L would have decreased the spool time dramatically. But then I kinda started going overboard on the car

haha, i know how that feels!
man, your car is insane... sorta the same path im about to go down... (1.5j,t56,etc) but on a smaller (gt35r) scale.
keeping an eye on this for sure!!
hey man, I sent you a PM, I'm thinking about putting a 1jz-gte intake manifold on my 2jz-gte head. How close are the bolts? Where is the notching needed, and will the upper fit with no issues on the lower with the notching done?
Fucking AWESOME build, man. Really inspirational. Keep going!
Thanks,

thanks guys, the builds been on hiatus since ive been working on the wrx so much, but i did get some work done today, pulled the motor to make it easier to massage the trans tunnel and a lil of the firewall
did a little bit of work today, but it was so damn humid i couldnt stay outside for very long before being flat worn out
started clearing the engine bay, friend is bringing over his welder saturday, gonna fill the unused holes, and paint the engine bay while ive got the motor out. chose a new color for the car but im keeping it to myself, as the last time i mentioned the color (mine was the only one at the time) about a month after someone else had painted theirs the same color
got this from DM today, pretty good quality

Definitely not, lol, im not a fan of white cars
did some more work on it today, got the bay completely stripped. also went ahead and took off the front end, im tossin one fender, has too much damage (excuse the ghetto-ness of the engine bay, i was pretty lazy back when i did it)
Progress, that's a good thing to be making. Why not fix the front bumper now that you have good easy access?
that would involve working on it............
gotta weld up the engine bay, and try to figure out my electrical issue this weekend tho

even better reason to change it, waiting for a call back on the paint code from the dealer now. not even sure if theyll give it out
update tho, motor is mounted, opened up the shifter hole, and it actually doesnt sit too far back, the center console still clears it (btw, was checking to see if the intake pipe would fit)
once i figure out my trans mount, the motor will come back out so i can finish the engine bay and get it ready for paint

That shifter is weird....did you want something with that kind of lean to it?
