Finally did the IS300 COP mod.

Would love to see your finished project. Question, Morganson: Which brand of wires are you using? I bought blue NGK's, but would rather have red ones, purely for aesthetics. Also, your Middle coil(sitting on plug 3) seems to sit straight, whereas mine tilts slightly to clear a bolt casting...

Actually, it is a Treadstone, or at least a copy of Treadstone. Got it off a Russian on Craigslist for $120. The turbo flange is centered just behind #4 runner, so it does sit back a bit, about 1" more than I'd like. And because it does sit a bit back, I just put firesleeve over my new speedo...

Yeah, there's a flange for the wastegate on the mani, and i'm just using a generic hks-style wastegate with a 10lb spring. Only a few of the exhaust parts are Vibrant. But it is all stainless, and will be from turbo to tip, including the brackets.

Rerouted back into the dp. I want the quietest exhaust possible, even if it reduces power. Hence, two full size mufflers and a cat(even though its now emission-exempt).

So, I finally received my extra long exhaust studs today, so I mocked up my manifold with spacer and turbine housing. Now I can start planning the exhaust, so I just ordered: 3 5/8 Precision turbine outlet flange 3 5/8 Precision V band clamp 3 1/2 Stainless mandrel J tubing 3 1/2 stainless...

I'd rather spill brake fluid than diff fluid. smells so bad.

Did they suggest any causes for the misfiring?

And that IS a big plus...

So ont the downside, I found out about 30 minutes after I bled my clutch slave, that it decided to continue to 'bleed' itself; completely dry, onto the garage floor. So I ordered a rebuild kit for it, as the bore looks and feels perfect. I think the piston seals are just shrunken a bit. Got my...

you can throw nearly any 16" wheel on from ford, nissan, toyota, mitsubishi, as long as it's 5 lug(of course). Can you get your hands on some spare tires/ doughnuts?

Today I continued work on my fuel lines.

More hose work, Made the return line out of the regulator. Also installed and bled the clutch slave. No packages arrived today, so I'm sure I won't see any other fasteners or gaskets till Monday at the earliest.

I ignored this as an unintentional phrase, but be aware that we do have a strong black demographic in this forum, and they might not think it a harmless error.

Ok, Trooper is back up, and I also received my second T4 spacer, so I welded the two together. Then I received my wastegate, and test-fitted that to the manifold. Got as far as making one fuel line. Still have to finish the other two.

Love when Santa comes... Gave me some an fittings, so I can finish my fuel lines. Also brought me a fuel pump for my Trooper, which died a few days ago.

Is the engine on a stand? You can test compression on a motor thats not installed. You just need to hook jumper cables to the starter positive and ground, then trigger the solenoind with positive. You can also certainly do a leakdown with the engine out of the car. Other than that, You can look...

Once your engine is warmed up completely, hold the throttle open slightly, to get the rpms areound 2500-3000. any rattle-sound then? You see, my MR2 has slight rod knock, and when I start it cold in the morning, it knocks for about 3 seconds, then goes dead quiet until its fully warmed up. Then...

Yup. That's the only way.
