so time-time for more updates. for those 2% who is actually interested in my swap. seeing as there is 17,000000 people doing swaps on thier sc's.

so got around to getting the driveshaft figured out. used the sc300 center carrier bearing on the w58(mk3 supra) front shaft. it can be done by a driveshaft shop. and it was done for 10 beans. so with that mounted up it was time to add tranny fluid.

much easier than using a siphon pump. i have a metal plate for the cutout sections in the middle. but i still need a rubber boot for the shifter. as the s13 one i had didn't seal properly.

onto the seats. theve been sitting around forever it seems. i scored these rhd jdm seats. they were dirty. so just like i did with my s14 seats i de-ringged them and tossed the fabric in the wash. 

then got some hog rings and reapplied the skin. came out sweet. and makes the car smell way better.

got my actuall fan setup(that fits).

running 2 pullers. will see how cool they keep the rad??

so in running the fuel feed line. seems the stock one is high pressure and had threaded lines. i decided to run rubber hose as my rb feed line is the same way.

and heres the sc300 high press powersteering line..

with some manuvering it also fits the sc400 rack+1jz pump. 

i can't keep these breather nipples(both in good shape) for the life of me. hopefully i can get by with just one on.

and this cruved hose is needed for the back of the engine. another $10 investment.

INTERCOOLER MOUNT-TAKE II

so my icebox was too low. had to remove the front bumper and make some new mounts. and also ran the piping to measure clearance and whatnot.

this metal is really hard to cut. thanks for the dual saw.

a slight lean. but good enough.

it's up there now.

iam tucking.

so sadly (for now) i have removed the ac components minus the compressor(will do that later). the compatability between the 300 and 400 lines/firewall/etc was not working out for me.

i still have the 300 lines. and might try again in the future to make this work. i really did want this car to have ac.

took the condensor core out and now this weird gap remains. need to find some really good radiator brackets..

so now i have to redrill another tranny mount(i have a spare).

-need to get some intercooler piping welded

-need to get my bov rewelded did it too soon

-an optimum battery would be nice.

-hack downpipe to be able to drive to exhaust guy

and other than that iirc i have no major mods left on this rig. just some missing important pieces(like an o2 sensor mod and a damn map sensor).

also if anyone out there in tv land can help me???

i have 3 ports on my wastegate

where do they go?? iam running a reference on my coldside. and no boost controller yet. so yes help is needed guys..
