He didn't seem to make any mention of the transmission. I wonder if that's a highly built A340E autobox in there. Was it worth it? Well, to him, I'm sure. It's a labor of love.

What happened to your 1UZ motor? Did you kill it from excessive boost?

Thanks for the support! I am definitely going to do something with the PCV on the passenger side. I am not interested in blowing out the rear cam cover. I'm just at a loss right now as to what I should do for the intake piping. Should I order pipes from eBay? Should I get PVC pipes from Lowe's...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39Gz1LY5nsI Fired it up a moment ago. Very satisfying to hear my Lexus sound like a pissed off vacuum cleaner. Now I need to properly do the battery relocation and put together a filter and charge pipes - and deal with all of that stuff! An LS400 triad would be...

what about the idea of attaching a $.99 webcam end to a flexible metal piece, and using a white LED light or 3 to light up the cylinder? $5.00 borescope.

Will do everything I can to be near David's place in May, so that PM is more or less a certain thing. We could drag race! UCF20 vs UCF10, let's END THIS! LOL! :D

I'm expecting to use about 2 feet of oil line. I will buy three just in case. As far as bugs go - in an operational sense, they need to be ironed out by May. But I do want the car at least running by Sunday with boostage.

The oil in port is a 1/8" NPT deal. It has an integrated oil sprayer that also serves to restrict the flow. I'm thinking that the hose I got is too big. Net research shows the stock size to be -4AN, which corresponds well with 1/4 - - so I should go back and get the 1/4" hose. Besides, it's...

Just got back from AutoZone. The 108" belt is as perfect as perfect gets. I also picked up some SAE30R9 hose for the oil feed. Question is, is 5/16 too big? I might need to go back and get 1/4" instead. Also need to rig the passenger side crank breather with a PCV valve, get the blower aligned...

My original dream car, that 850.

My blower doesn't have air assist, so it's going to be straight drainage from the drain plug offset at the 7 o'clock angle facing towards the engine.

How effective would it be to install an exhaust cutout on the stock exhaust? This eBay kit has a remote control so that you could install the cutout without running wires into the cabin. It looks pretty simple and effective...

All right, then in that case I'm getting a 107" and a 108" belt, and will return one or both of them when I'm done :D AutoZone has them for $26/ea, but I can find them online for half the price, sometimes 1/3 the price.

I'd love to see those pics. Can't wait for you to head back home to SoCal! I just did a really crude measurement. 108" on the belt length. Matches up to a Buick Century from 1989. Aren't you running a 113" belt or something huge like that?

Sounds like fun. We can go around ganging up on GS400s :D What are my options for an intake? I have very little space between the inlet and the radiator. Maybe 2", tops.

I might be able to fit a little battery to the right of the blower. That would save me the trouble of the trunk relocation. I've done the trunk relocation before, but undid it because I was unhappy with the results. Steve, you know it! The return line is almost ready to go, I just have to chop...

It's on the vehicle for alpha-stage test fitment and refinement. So far, it's something. Two thumbs up.

obviously the idiot filter is not rigorous enough because I was able to register, so I vote for a mathematical equation on top of it :p

I just redid it at a machine shop. I chopped off some material from the top and bottom of the fish, and then drilled the five holes to make the V2 fit. Now I'll just need to test fit it on the car to see where to go from there. :)

I had the original fish bracket, the one you describe - and it did have the correct bolt pattern for the V2, it was just aligned on the car in a way that severely interfered with the A/C lines and the battery tray in general.
