2JZ SC300 Rebuild by drifterx27

Update, kinda:

Yesterday I went to install the rear main seal, and couldn't find the bolts... even though I bagged and tagged everything. Oh well. I ordered new ones, as well as the nuts for the exhaust manifold since those have taken some heat and looked rusty. 

I also put the catch can in place, and it looks at home. So clean. Then after closer inspection of the clutch, I feel it would be best to replace it now. But the setup I want will cost $2500. RPS Carbon/Carbon strapless twin disk clutch with 29lb chromoly flywheel. We will see, unless I decide to order another Spec clutch and run with that. The fan shroud will be here Monday, and the bolts sometime next week.

Due to cost, I think I am going to get the HPF Feramic clutch. There are a bunch of Supras running it that are in the 9 sec range. And the driveability is way better than the Spec Stage 4 that I have now. I will be sending out my flywheel to get resurfaced, to a shop that specializes in that on Monday. Also I just ordered the Mark's Engineering Solid shifter bushings, so that will be here eventually. (Thanks to 97-SC300 for showing me this)

Still have to:

- Get lines made for the catch can

- Install the connectors for the ID2000 injectors into the harness

- Mail out flywheel

- Order clutch

- Get fittings welded onto valve cover and intake pipe for catch can

Also, a video of my car that popped up recently

Update:

Sent the flywheel out to get resurfaced in Texas. Sold the 240 and M5, which I am very happy about. Then I ordered all the fittings and lines I need for the catch can setup. I will be doing silver fittings with black stainless lines. I prefer the lines to be hidden, as the normal silver lines stand out too much for me. Also the crimpers I needed for my injectors connectors is here, so I can start that too. And finally, talked to Sharp Hydrographix and I may get the valve covers done (still deciding on color scheme).

So a break down of what's left:

- Wait on flywheel to come back

- Decide to either order clutch or pay credit card

- Redo injectors connectors for ID2000

- Remove injector resistor box and solder wires

- Get valve covers and intake pipe welded and tapped for -10 an fittings, when the fittings and lines show up
