Here is my write-up on cluster swapping..

so during this time, I ordered a throttle cable from phr. the cable I had was from a camry and it was longer than I needed and it contributed to the throttle hanging when the plate closed.

so instead of getting a stocker I opted for a shiny ss cable.

sam in customer service was kick *** helpful and I got it quickly. well during my initial installation the cable came loose from the pedal stop. apparently they leave it "not tight" so you can install the oem rubber stop. anywhoo I could not get the cable back through the very small hole.

so I cut up the oem cable to length and drilled out/made bigger the hole like so.

locktite red before i double stopped it.

finished product

and done, added with the cx racing bracket, and later on i brought a brand new oem gte tps, my throttle is spot on.

and here is my heater core cluster eff.

NEXT UP FUEL LINES!!

5-13-2017

so, I got a brand new starter and a a/c compressor, why because it's hot as fu#k. the starter installation was easy as nutz. the compressor took patience and an air ratchet. 

here is a comparo between the old one, I brought a mk4 supra model, good to know denso is still in the game.

so, I'm poor. I've been using the same hks ssqv knock-off bov for over 12 years. no leaks to my knowledge and it was the earlier adjustable pressure ones. well I figured it's time I replace it, with another knock off, this time it's a type 3(crowd goes woo).

the funny thing is I payed $50.00 bucks for this and it LOOKS like it's a legit item, but come on...

------GETTING READY FOR BIG FUEL----

this has cost me over $100.00 in fittings I did not need or I am not going to use. I brought this double hangar thinking it was way smaller than it really is, I figured it could mod it to fit the double wally 450lph's that I planned to use. had no clue the bosch 044 fuel pumps were this massive??

oh, what is my plan???

-twin wally 450lph fuel pumps

-modified stock hangar

-dual -6an to single -8an (in tank before the bulkhead

-single -an8 feed to the fuel rail

going to leave it at stock return size(5/16) for now I've had some guys tell me it's too small. but larry from sound performance said it would work, so were going to give it a shot.

working on the bulkhead now pics will be here in the next day or 2, looking for a sealant to keep the fuel from leaking out...

5-18-2017

well moving along on this fuel line upgrade, I finally got the bulkhead together, used some jb to hopefully keep the fuel inside, now I'm not going to use all this wiring length, I'm going to use mostly the fuel pump plugs and some heat shrink on the fuel side.

I also came up with a solution to the heater control valve, curse that expensive pigmy flange, so for less than $20.00(minus the 60.00 wrench-I returned). I made a manual solution that works.

and here it is mounted and painted black(for stealth)

next up is tach installation, finishing up this fuel line/pump setup and installing my 2.5 ic pipe to the intake.
