It wasn't terribly hard if you're ok with some fabrication and wiring. Everything has changed since I originally did the swap (so it's not the way I'm about to describe). The w58 will bolt to a 7mgte (which is pretty obvious), you can push the stock power steering line down and hook it into the...

Speaking of which, I should reweigh it soon. I want to say the average weight is 3000 pounds. I weighed mine with and it was 3100+, which makes me wonder if it having a turbo, intercooler, bigger exhaust, leather interior, etc., etc., etc. would make it weigh more. That 3100+ was without the A/C...

That's it? ;)

Quick update: Modified some stuff for stainless steel lines. Finally finished up my ISCV, cleaned up some wiring, and some other things. Let me know what you guys think!

To clarify, I didn't do any of the welding in this thread. The intake manifold was done by Ron R, the intercooler pipes were done by Nightmare Motorsports, the flange welding and throttle cable mount were done by 515 Customs, and the oil pan was done by Beech Performance. Thanks! The harness...

Short update: I put some miles on the car this last week. Took it to a car show/autocross (obviously didn't run it) this last weekend. Had a couple issues, two different big coolant leaks. Finally picked up my last plug for the harness, so I got it loomed tonight. I'm talking with a friend...

Second start up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2pJtJw3SVM

I'll upload the second video in a bit. Here's the first of my car starting for the first time in months. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Htg_0n3GQw

I should be able to make that. I figure my car will be running well way before then.

I've been working religiously on things for the last week or two. Jimstim firing. Hope this is right... Is this white plug oil pressure going to the dash gauge? I imagine theres a plug for this; I probably have it somewhere... CPS modification is done. How the engine currently sits...

Started the engine harness tonight. This is looking to be a cake work compared to the board! I'm waiting on an email back from John and have a handful of other questions for him. But tomorrow after work I'm hoping to dive in and start some cutting and soldering. I think I'll start with the...

Short update: I lost a capacitor, so c13 still needs soldered on; otherwise the board is complete. Now on to the engine harness!

Thanks! It has been going well so far. I'm hoping to have the car running by May 5th for a car meet. Fully torqued, eh? Getting some Workaholics humor going on in here? I appreciate the kind words. Also, for anyone who is wondering; John Burton did a write up on how to setup an MSII...

No pictures yet, but my MSII board is 20 steps from being complete! Then on to the harness and other related bits! Pictures Wednesday night!

Good point. I didn't test the link before I changed it. But I still had it in my other build thread and I see that it works. It's also interesting, Google owns Youtube and Google has http://goo.gl/ which is used to shorten links. Thanks!

Yes they are. There was a group buy on CelicaSupra.com a year or so ago. These are the coilovers: http://www.ground-control-store.com/products/description.php/II=88/CA=18 Here's the thread of me putting mine together...

Thanks! I'm trying! Thanks! I'm feeling the 7m hate :P. I'm thinking a license plate of OMG BHG may be needed... Everyone from around Des Moines drewls over 2J's... it kinda gets on my nervs! haha. Though there's now one 600+whp 7m mkIII in town :D I fixed the link.

Thanks! It's taken quite awhile to afford all the parts, I should post some pre-FFIM and pre-6262 pictures; things were looking way different then. Speaking of which, the white car in half the pictures is a 2jz MkIII, lol. Tell my brother his car is a fat turd ;), his username is NEWGEN...

I've been building my mkII for a couple of years now. I typically post on CelicaSupra.com, but it's about time that I come over here and make a build thread. I have a Ron R FFIM, Lexus IS300 Coil Packs, Full 3in Exhaust (half Raptor Racing, half random fabbed pipes), 2.5in intercooler piping...
