The build Ive Been Waiting To Do For 6 Years by KODYHUGHES

Manifold came in, loving the quality. Its very thick and surprisingly its alot more open in there than it looks in photos.. After actually seeing in in person and looking inside i dont think creep will be much of an issue.

Thanks !!

I was hoping to run around 10 PSI maybe alittle more since im swapping out my head gasket and the variety of springs does offer me some options to choose from.

How ever i suppose i could run a similar spring setup as you. Ultimately depending on how my tranny feels at 10 psi will determine if i want to run more or not. I dont expect to have my transmission last forever however i want it to last long enough until i can afford an upgrade like r154.

*EDIT*

manifold mocked up with turbo and waste gate.



very happy with the fitment, everything looks great to be. no issues what so ever.

Got to work today to test fit the manifold.







removed manifold 

and test fitted the new one !  





I love the way it looks... so far i just need to shorten the studs abit because they do poke out far enough to where i can actually mount the manifold flush with the head. So going to trim those up.

I have 800 CC injectors on the way as well as the intake..

Thanks !!

The injectors ive ordered are supposed to be a direct drop in with no resistor box needed so im sure they are saturated.  

They are designed specifically for the 2jzge so they are a direct replacement. I dont plan on maxing them out right away, i just want to have room for more power in the future. But yeah like ive said i just want to run or start at mid 300's then work my way up.

I dont have any doubt my engine setup will withstand whats about to be thrown in its direction .. I am slightly unsure about my transmission but as long as it can last just a little while until i can afford another.


Going to be ordering the fuel pump tonight or tomorrow along with the FPR and maybe the head gasket !

Thanks !! yeah my main goal is to have this turbo as low as i possibly can. Im going to need to find a shop or someone who can make a custom down pipe for me because ive never welded before.

The hotside AR is .68 and the charge side is .70 for the turbo. It fits amazingly and from my research this turbo should offer a good spool time aswell as enough room for HP.

Did you want a photo like this ???

 

Whats also nice is that i dont have to mess with different dist caps or making sure the turbo is clocked properly, my intake pipe i got today fits absolutely perfect aswell as the wastegate. Personally i think the placement of the wastegate is spot on. its not in the way of the throttle body at all and im not having to modify much at all.

Only modification ive had to make is i had to shorten the studs because the manifold holes are very close to the manifold it self so i had to grind em down. Also i had to bore out the holesjust a pinch so the manifold slides on easier.
