11hp per properly managed psi on a CT26 This is a whole new ballpark

I got out of bed, read this, went out side in my boxers and took this: Sorry for crummy phone camera, I'm pickin up a new digital with my garage sale money

The frame itself bolts onto unadjustable locations but..... -The old frame may be tweaked a bit and the car was aligned to compensate -The new frame might be off compared to the rest of the car -If you re-use your suspension arms the alignment will be disturbed upon assembly -If the new...

the ones going up and down " I I " should be the high and low beam power the one going across " - " should be the common ground regardless

Anyways, it's not a full race car and rain isn't going to be a common problem The other reason for this mod was boredom, I am self-employed until I find somewhere to work that doesnt' suck, just wanted to do something different.

LOL I won't post my pics, for fear of having someone like Ric in my throat haha...that said, it looks awesome

LOL the point of the thread was moving the p/s, I didn't even have the a/c systme in the back of my head LOL Yes it is going to be an over 600 hp 1.5JZ, and anything that doesnt need to be under the hood just isn't anymore. Also, it just isn't as humid here. I drove 900 miles last month...

I like the car. Very good work. Should be quite "abunai" when done!

I'll get a pic once it's back together, intake is being modded a bit Thanks to all for constructive discussion -1 to Ric

Thanks Reign +1

X6 :P

+1 :)

looks oh so hot

The engine is lighter, takes up less space in the engine bay, has an electric water pump, shorter belt, is easier to service, has shorter power steering hoses and more effective contact of the belt over the pulleys. I would say that is pretty good advancement for a self taught half mechanic. If...

Yep all gone. Not a piece left. I even took the air conditiong box out of the heating duct in the dash so it is just a straight pass through. Power steering pump and lines and reservoir and cooler will all be out of view once motor is in

I agree also. If I lived in the South, I would have perhaps made a different choice. But the engine didn't come with A/C anyways when I purchased it, so I spent my $ on parts, not retrofitting a/c. The point of the thread is that with a/c gone, and p/s moved, I have less weight, and tons of...

My I start a petition for a ban here. I have been threadcrapped in every discussion or for sale thread I have started. Dear Ric: Whoop-dee-do you have a used Lexus/Toyota with motor work. That describes most of the 5,598 Active members we have. When you go outside and do something...

I can honestly say that I completely disagree with you and would like you to go away. If you were the mod of a forum, I would not be part of it. The engine bay has been repainted. The stock twins are long since gone. What is your issue? It's Saturday, go to the beach or something?

Jeez Ric, I really like your car, but it's tough to really like you when you seem more concerned about the temperature of Southern Florida than discussing modifications of Toyota cars. Perhaps you should join a weather forum. I am 2,800 miles north and west of you, and I don't want A/C, and it...

1. Bored 2. My intake manifold is huge and I wanted to keep that area uncluttered for working on 3. Car is right hand drive , now the ps pump is 12 inches from the steering box, not 5 feet, so I can use shorter, cleaner lines and etc. Nope in the North, Canada Never had A/C when I was...
