Ah, I thought you did the whole motor already.
What specific bulbs did you guys get for the license plate lights? I remember someone saying that the space is limited and some of the LED bulbs wont fit.
Bought a PTE 39mm Wastegate, fix my 2jz fuel rail and injectors, and straight at the 2JZ for couple of mins.

These aren't the ones I used but these will probably give you the most clearance.

there is a difference between cheap and pricey LEDs also they are not even that expensive. I got the right bulbs the only problem was that I chose some bulbs that had the offset studs I didn't fully read the description or whatever.
Yesterday, Derek (suprasick) and I attempted to go to the Golden Gardens meet. Unfortunately that meet was a madhouse that was plagued with morons in Hondas and diesel trucks burning rubber so we just turned around and went to The Rock for some pizza. Oh well...
BIG update today...
1: Replaced old power steering pump with remanned pump from Driftmotion and filled it with Dextron II ATF. It will take a while for the fluid to smooth things out but it is MUCH better than before.
2: Tightened coolant line on left side of block that was causing a slow leak. Should resolve my leaking coolant issue I've had for awhile.
3: Found a disconnected vacuum line to the heater system and reattached it. No more ice cold drives to/from work! Yay!
4: Reconnected A/C lines. Now all I need is to take it to a refridgerant shop and add A/C back to the system.
5: Replaced melted rubber hoses going to the wastegate with silicone lines and ran them further away from the hot areas of the engine.
6: Turned up the idle more so that it is idling closer to 700 RPM. Running far smoother now.
After all this work, Seth and I took the car back out for a test drive. Now she's running reliable boost at 12lbs. and is running more like a turbo'ed car ought to run. When she gets in boost she doesn't hitch up and act like she's hitting fuel cut, and she stays more in boost on the open road during 60+ MPH rolls.
Excelsior!

How do you increase the idle on a 7m? Ever since I got a lightweight flywheel sometimes the car can't hold the revs when I let it drop from high up in the rev range. If I can just adjust it a little more than stock it should be able to hold it.
no it recirculates, sometimes I hear a bang from my exhaust depending on how long I am in full boost but it's pretty rare.
