It's been a long 17 months since the make over started...so I figured that I would recap.


It started with a 2JGTE non-vvti engine. The goal of the upgrade was to gain more horsepower, yet have a responsive motor.






Components of the former engine/tranny setup:

2JZ-GTE w/ JDM stock twins

550 RC Engineering injectors

Denso fuel pump

Aeromotive adjustable fuel pressure regulator

A.R.C. airbox

ARP headbolts

HKS metal head gasket

HKS adjustable Cam Gears

Drift Motion JZ Pulley Kit

Greddy Type-R blow off valve

Fluidyne radiator

Flex-A-Lite dual electric fans

CX-Racing intercooler w/custom piping by Kaizen Motorsports

clutch: Fidanza light flywheel, ACT clutch

Engine Management: AEM V1 Standalone ecu



Exterior wise, this is what it looked like, prior to minor changes to the front end were made. The car had a Gracer bumper.




Components of the new setup:


Comp Turbo:

67 Billet Compressor wheel

Triple ceramic ball bearing

4 inch inlet and a 3 inch outlet compressor cover

Turbine - 0.68 undivided 3"







Custom Exhaust Manifold by Doc Race: dual waste gates and twin scroll.


























Second wastegate flange done! Complete!



Almost complete. One wastegate flange done.



Second wastegate flange done! Complete! But there was a problem, the manifold didn't fit. It had to be redone. 



Finally after 6 months from the start of fabrication, the manifold was redone and fit the car.


 



Here's a test fitment of the manifold/turbo/wastegate setup.



VVTI head



The VVTI head was freshened. 




Bosch 044 fuel pump (a pair of external pump are in the new setup)



Injectory Dynamics 1000cc injectors



Fuel surge tank and external fuel pumps located above the differential



Fuel lines




Oil and Water Hard lines



AEM V1...



Was replaced with V2.


Raychem used to wrap the harness:


Ron R. Intake Manifold

Before:



Inside the manifold.




The manifold was polished



I wanted the S2 front bumper setup, with a NTORIOS twist.



Components of the bumper:

Old and busted OEM bumper with grill that has been cut out + Abflug Lip, and S2 airguide



The airguide was massaged so that it fits perfectly.



Molding in S2 airguide



Chopped up the Abflug lip: the side burns and the parts that overlap the bumper.



The round tunnels could be used for the driving lights or just as air ducts.

A fan shroud had to be fabricated to make an OEM fan fit.
