Well havent got the clutch back yet so that is slowing me dropping the engine back in the car. I have the next four days off so hopefully I will get it in soon. Iam spending the next couple of days mocking up, re-cleaning, priming and painting the engine bay.

Edit: Just got an email from HPF the clutch I ordered from RPS, well RPS is closed until the 3rd of Jan. Gotta love it.

Here are some pictures of the Horsepowerfreaks Intercooler kit. Gotta say it fits very well, only had to widen one hole on the intercooler to meet the bumper bolts, but other than that its pretty much bolt on. I think I will have all of this done before the engine gets dropped in. I am shooting for Mon or Tues or next week to drop the engine.

I also got the Roll cage today, bought from Jon at MDC.

aw, the joy of getting to know your supra. Changing the slave cylinder from W58 to R154. Alot easier with no engine in the way.

Looks far better than "good" Jay ;)
Watch out when you drop the engine in, things like to hit the firewall just above the tranny tunnel.

got a question for you guys, doing the lines for the AFPR, got the return line no problem, the other line I think its the main fuel line coming into the engine bay near the fire wall, how do I connect that one up with the Aeromotive setup?

edit: I think I see where the fitting is, under the firewall area, so it looks like an SS line from the motor mount fitting to that fitting, correct?

another issue: oxygen sensor, the new downpipe has the screw in type sensor not the two bolt type, i was told a universal will work, but I dont see a univ with a three wire connection. Problem?

Well, got moved into the new house in Florida, now I can turn my attention back to the supra. Spent a few hours on it this weekend. Got the motor mounts bolted up and turned to the the downpipe, midpipe, test pipe and the Super Dragger bolted right up no problems. Also put the Tial wastegate on. Lesson learned, put wastegate on before the downpipe, absolutely no room down there. Its just connecting things for a couple days and then she's good to go.
