Here are some more progress pictures of my well known engine. I just got the 1JZ coils and am working on making the mounting plate. Also as you can see in the one picture I got the 1JZ oil cooler from a Sorer fitted and all the cooling lines attached.:naughty:

i like how you mounted the AN fittings in the t'stat housing.

im a little confused on why you have an oil cooler attached off the housing tho. explain?

also, what did you use for the red? a lot of the red i see has a brown tone to it.

Well I had the valve covers powder coated candy apple red. The reason the oil cooler is attached to the housing is it is a 1JZ Sorer oil cooler. It uses the water from the cooling system to cool the oil. The coolant goes into a housing with fins that the oil moves through, therefor cooling it. The reason I did this is because it still cools the oil when the car is not moving. Here are more pics of it.

I've noticed that Toyota uses a similar oil cooler in many of their engines now. Not a bad idea. You don't over cool the oil, and it keeps plumbing the system simple too. Nice use of your existing lines and fittings.

Now I will have to get a set of those awesome looking cam sprockets... Are those the Titan ones?

BTW, I've enjoyed the candy apple red powdercoatings myself... LOL

Looks good man, The cam gears are custom made and are based off of the Fidanza Engineering design. I picked got them for 300 shipped.The think I like about them is they are 5 bolt.

Very nice looking engine! Did you powdercoat the Valve Covers?

 

[xrated89]
