intercooler piping fab and cutting throttle body to remove traction control and give me some room for my radiator hose. I also removed the large aluminum air tube from the OEM turbo inlet/outlet and blow off valve housing. I clocked the turbo inlet to give myself more room as well.

running power and ground wires to everything

gates barricade 3/8" fuel line

drifter92 · 06-24-2016, 10:32 PM

chopping the front of the car to allow more room for a clutch fan and ac condensor to both fit. moved the radiator roughly 2" forward following "AS240"s example from the 2JZ swapped s-chassis thread

drifter92 · 06-24-2016, 10:33 PM

Nice Build!

Learning a lot for my 1jz vvti build.

keep it up!

corkscrew · 06-26-2016, 12:27 PM

Dude you should make a jig or something to replicate your hot side piping. I bet a million people would buy pre made piping to replace the stock J pipe and other nonsense. I know I would lol.

Thank you! I appreciate it man, I like helping people figure out things that I've had to figure out.

Maybe, I used the OEM 1JZ compressor outlet bend combined with an OEM SR20 T25 compressor outlet bend piece to make that little twisty pipe, then the turbo air inlet is a simple 2.5" 45 degree intercooler pipe welded to the OEM flange clocked just right so that it clears the clutch fan, turbo coolant lines, and whatever electrical connector that is next to it on the engine.

drifter92 · 06-26-2016, 10:08 PM

Cleaned up the frame rails and removed the left overs from the radiator support.

This is where my radiator pegs stick through the OEM
power brace. I will clean these holes up later.

Power brace mounting, these tabs will be welded to the cross-tube, and have holes drilled for the radiator pegs to pass through.

also, I picked up this #swag hood this weekend

Black240Ct · 06-27-2016, 07:07 AM

nice work. this motor and trans combo is awesome.

DayTex · 06-27-2016, 08:17 PM

Looking good, cant wait to see you rip it at the lonestar events!

Mzag · 06-27-2016, 09:07 PM

Very nice build! Did you have any fitment issues with the future fab turbo elbow and the trans? Im currently doing the same setup and have seen where people need to cut and re route the elbow

I dont have any issues, im using a maverick motorsports adapter plate with a milled bellhousing. It clears without any issues.

drifter92 · 06-28-2016, 08:40 PM

Im going to get a smaller AC condenser so i can us the factory headlight motors in the OEM location... and I have to weld up my own AC lines anyway, so it will all work out well

corkscrew · 07-01-2016, 08:45 PM

More updates!

drifter92 · 07-01-2016, 08:50 PM

I havent made any progress on the front end work because Im waiting to get a smaller AC condenser. Im headed to the junkyard at 8AM tomorrow morning to find a condenser that will fit for me. Probably end up using a Honda Civic condenser and lines.

TheRealSy90 · 07-01-2016, 11:49 PM

Love how you're keeping AC and clutch fan. Going to be an awesome car plus the cd009.

drifter92 · 07-03-2016, 01:38 AM

I went to the junkyard today and looked through a TON of AC cpndensers from all kinds of different vehicles and I didnt find anything that looks like it wil be easier to use than my OEM condenser because of width or hose orientation, orifice tubes, expansion chambers, etc. Im going to just remove the headlight motor and weld a bracket to my headlight housings that holds them up in the "ON" position so they will not retract.

In the morning, I'm going to begin welding up the front end parts and install the radiator, AC condenser, rad. hoses, engine harness, and intercooler; Then i'll work on getting my engine harness installed and maybe get it RUNNING TOMMOROW!?!??!?!

drifter92 · 07-03-2016, 11:37 PM

I ordered some more fuel line today to finish the fuel delivery system. Yay!

Also I welded up my front end parts, the lower radiator support is there now. I just need to add the caps to the front frame rails and weld the tow hook area which is torn apart on my car. My welding machine sucks so excuse the ugly welds... I really need something better.
Just waiting on $$$$$$$$$$$$$

drifter92 · 07-15-2016, 10:53 PM

Im working on the car still, picture coming soon. Not running yet

corkscrew · 07-16-2016, 06:41 AM

Excited to see the progress man

drifter92 · 07-17-2016, 07:47 PM

Power steering lines DONE
fuel lines DONE
radiator hoses DONE
heater hoses DONE

The engine turns over with the key but I'm not getting spark, im trying to figure out why right now.
