vettekiller593 Posted October 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vettekiller593 Posted October 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

importwarrior Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 we need a group buy on some mounts. im sure you could sell a good deal of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzStar Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 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?

vettekiller593 Posted November 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 If there is enough interest in motor mounts when I get my car back from the paint shop I will pull my mounts off and make a few set with my engine in the car. If I try to make them with out the engine there is no guarantee they will turn out straight or centered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have your drawings.. and pictures but that is the piece that bolts to the frame or bolts to the engine? I thought Serpent told me he was using modified Quest mounts.

vettekiller593 Posted November 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 The motor runs so smooth there is not really any vibration when driving. I think it feels like stock. Serpent did modify his stocks mounts. I did not make his for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you find a way to use it or just hadn't gotten it removed at that point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vettekiller593 Posted November 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 The cruise was still there in the pic but i did take it out. The intercooler is a cx racing but its a little to small so im redoing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
