Perfect pick on the color. I've seen a TTR jz70 in that color and it's amazing. Sadly it wasn't offered to us...just like the rest of the good stuff we don't normally get..
this is my life...and this is my story
- Thread starter ssideways
- Start date

yea man we never get the good stuff in the US when it comes to imports :3d_frown:
small update, been busy lately so progress has slowed down a bit but it still should be done by the AZSC BBQ meet
coolant pressure sensor in upper neck
back-pressure sensor
started pressure washing the bay, need to start sanding
changed to this hydro fan, the return line placement is better on this fan pump
coil wiring
i found this funny looking box under my car...no clue where it came from...:naughty:

yea i want at min a week of driving before the meet but the more the better. hopefully picking up my air compressor this weekend / next week some time so i should be able to spray the bay with my gun :biglaugh:
so to make the meet im leaving the car as is, alot of stuff has been hitting my back pocket kind of hard the last few weeks so paint is low on my list of things to buy. as of right now my focus is to get the car up and going to get it to the meet then pull the motor back out the first week of march to prep for paint. im kind of glad things have gone this route though because it will allow me to get everything exactly how i want it and if i need to add any wiring i may have forgot or random bits i can do that in march when the motor is out for paint. the motor is more or less ready to drop in (minus the cams but that can be done in car) just been holding off because i wanted to finish my DP and manifold but that should be done tonight so i will most likely drop her in tomorrow night...then the fun of pinning in the 128 will begin...hopefully i can get that all done before Friday that way i can drive it down Saturday morning to the meet...i know its a long shot but its been done before.
128 plugs
turbo oil feed, just need to go to parker to get my softline
was going to run all hardline but i felt it wasn't the best way to do it with what i had, would have been too close to manifold
downpipe taking shape

lolz true im all over the place with that post, first week of may motor will come back out and yes its Sunday not Saturday. we working on cars all day Saturday? first finish mickeys car then go to my house and wrap my car up...wait that would mean all three of our cars will be running again!
Wow this build is epic! just read the whole thing im excited to see it complete! hope you guys get everything done and working properly! Cant wait to see everything in place! my manifold that I'm going to be using looks identical and I think im going to use your idea for the oil drain that i was worried about cause of the tight runners.
thanks man, hopefully i can post some videos of it running soon its been almost 2 years sense Ive driven this car.
UPDATE TIME!!!! some good pictures for you want a be machinist out there
oil feed for the turbo is done
injector boss' made
machine setup to run fuel rail
running
done
fitment test before standoff's
standoff's made
like a glove...only problem is I put the support face on the wrong side so i will be remaking the standoff's witch is no biggie
injector clips
wired

small update on things,
line between rail and reg is done and reg is mounted
cut the turbo for the elbow and faced it so it would be flat and have no gaps
more to come, figured id just post this little stuff up for more motivation tonight

thanks man, the one that runs under the pan i had a small issue with but was able to fix it. i bent it too far but was able to tweak it back in.

Stupid question perhaps.. but your turbo oil input line is not clocked correctly is it? (not in car, so I am assuming not final clocking... I would think should be at 12:00)
Grandavi;2001518 said:
yea that was just mock up mostly, manifold will be getting a spacer welded onto it. reason i am welding the spacer on is because the manifold has two out of the four holes drilled out on the t4 flange. it will resolve that issue as well as bump the turbo up a bit for better clocking for oil lines and intercooler piping routing.
just about ready to turn the key, still have some stuff to run before i start it thought. my fuel pump relay will be wired tonight, need to run some fuel lines, rewire my starter, and run lines for my boost controller...some other random bs im forgetting but its getting close.
made my throttle cable mount spacer, best way to run 1j throttle cables that ive found over the years.
getting some measurements
forgot my fuel pressure wire when i was making my harness but easy fix...
Friday night i believe...Albert came over and we started pinning
i think this was after friday night
Saturday / Sunday 90% pinned, still need stuff like flex fuel and boost controller but everything to start the car is there besides the fuel pump trigger

Looks like you are making good progress. Can't wait to see it running. I like it when I see your thread has updates, always lots of pictures, even if all those wires scare me
