[vettekiller593]

Going to get it tuned thursday or friday. More videos to come.

[spoolinturbo]

[serpentkilla]

Did u get it tuned spanky?

[vettekiller593]

Not yet the owner of the shop with the dyno was on vacation last week. So hopefully this Thursday or Friday.

[vettekiller593]

Ok so the car got tuned and dynoed on monday. The tuner Brad Brooks is a great tuner. I dont have a hks DLI so i could only run 17lbs of boost by gapping the plugs to 22. The car made 397 to the wheels on 17lbs and pump gas and a heat soaked engine. Turbo was burning oil pretty bad so I will need to replace it but thats a good start for its first dyno after just being started for the first time a few weeks ago. The car pulls crazy on the street.  More to come soon.

Thanks it's getting there.

[vettekiller593]

getting ready for paint  

[thagremlin]

damn straight down to bare metal. you going with the same fiji color. or changing it up

[vettekiller593]

Yea down to the bear metal the paint had cracks under the clear so had to take it all the way and to repair some rust spots. And yes I'm keeping the Fiji blue it should turn out really good.

[Laodicea]

I like how the rear end looks without the bumper...I wanna shave mine.

[importwarrior]

we need a group buy on some mounts. im sure you could sell a good deal of these.

[AzStar]

Nice looking swap!  I can't wait to see the finished project.  
What are you using for gauges?  I take it the factory gauges cannot be converted for use with the 2JZ?


A couple of questions as I am SLOWLY moving along on my 2JZ swap.

1. What motor mounts are you guys using?  Serpent... do you have pictures?  You're doing multiple swaps so you must have the motor mount thing down.  I thought you said you were modifying the OEM Quest stuff?

2. Has anyone found a way to keep the Cruise Control?  My schematics here indicate it uses the ECM as part of the CC system.

3. Anyone keeping their A/C?

[Laodicea]

I'll make another set and see how they turn out..
