Trying to decide on a color right now while I'm at work. I wanted to keep it grey(ish) but leaning toward a blue. JWT said the tune will arrive next week. So I have a week to nut and bolt everything and paint it.

[STL240SXDRIFT]

Have you thought about putting your PS reservoir up next to the clutch master cylinder? its way out of the way there...

[di-devol]

Thanks man. Yea, I need to move it. Although it would work in this position, it would defiantly be outta the way up there.

Little update, Unruly, one of my sponsors sprung for the paint. So the car goes for paint on Monday. Now I'll be really busy for the next couple of days. Ecu comes tomorrow, gotta start her up, break it in, alignment on Sat, drifting on Sunday and go for paint on Monday. Hopefully will be done for the first comp for the SDC series at PiR. lol, a tad busy.

Vids and dyno coming soon.

[eklips3]

i notice that your tubs taper in as they move toward the front of the car.
any issues with rubbing cause of this ?

[di-devol]

You know I thought the same thing, but looking forever in the tubs thread, most of them do that. It won't rub though, won't even come close to rubbing lol.

[di-devol]

Ok, running good. Getting some miles on her to break her in. Running 14psi(spring) right now and the car feels good. I like the turbo alot, boost hits hard. Should be getting to the dyno to see some numbers next week.

[di-devol]

I apolgize for the quality, and the car is so loud it blew the camera's mic.

EDIT: Turn your headphones/speakers down.

[huffandpuff00]

is the car warmed up?
the idle sounds mean with those tomei Cams!

[di-devol]

Yea, that's warmed up. It leans out hard at idle making it "lope" like that. I'm trying to fix it, but I don't mind that at all lol.

[di-devol]

Moved to a new home, first house so my wife and I are really excited.

[di-devol]

Just a little update, car was going to paint soon but I lost the Origin bumper on the f-ing freeway aha. Pretty much disintegrated the lower lip.

what the shit??? explain please.

[di-devol]

what the shit??? explain please.

Wut? If you are to referring to 3 cosworths, I didn't want to re-use the headgasket. All that work and to have it possibly fail by not replacing it? The hell with that.

I originally blew a cometic on the stock sr, replaced with 1st Cosworth.
Blew motor, built it with a new Cosworth(2nd).
Leak at the timing cover, had to pull head off replaced with a new one(3rd).

[brndck]

oh gotcha, i was gonna say, cosworth quality is top notch, if you were blowing em, i was gonna suggest having your head and block decked.

[di-devol]

oh gotcha, i was gonna say, cosworth quality is top notch, if you were blowing em, i was gonna suggest having your head and block decked.

Oh, lol ok. I didn't really get your question. Yea, Just replaced them from taking the head off. If I was blowing Through Cosworths from running it, I would have bigger problems aha.

[di-devol]

Hitting the dyno on Tuesday the 10th at 4:30. I can't wait to see some numbers.

[pitchlock]

Good stuff

[di-devol]

So Took it to the dyno a couple times now, first time the car ran dangerously lean. Fixed some shotty injector wiring and headed back.

Best number we got outta it was 344hp/311tq with the clutch slipping up top at 18psi or so, seems the clutch wasn't adjusted correctly causing the tob to rest on the pressure plate.

Adjusted it, back to the dyno at some point for some numbers ahaha.

DriftCrown event#2 is Saturday at PIR, first event of the season with the new motor and set-up for me.

[di-devol]

Took it drifting at DriftCrown on Saturday at PIR.

30.75"x11.75"x3", I had to cut some of the headlight support, the headlights are welded in that position.

[ryandriftingfat]

What oil block is that?

[di-devol]

The one that broke was actually stock. I was using a sandwich plate with -10 fittings to run the cooler, I have since removed the setup.

[ryandriftingfat]

Yea the sandwich, that's what I meant. The adapter fitting is what broke in your case. Makes me think I need to get a spare in case this happens to me.

[di-devol]

I used a Circuit Sports sandwich plate. Had no issues other than that lol, seemed like a nice piece actually.

OK, that seals it. I have a CS one as well.

[di-devol]

Not much of an update, but we started prepping for paint. The car is actually really straight, front bumper is getting a major overhaul. All my time from when I get home from work is now focused on this, sponsor is still up for paying for paint.

Good news, tired of the car looking like shit.

[towlie]

Glad to see it coming Along

[di-devol]

Not much of an update, again more issues that took more time.

Headed to PARC to get a better feel for the new set-up. Car felt sluggish even on the way to the track. I've waited too long to drift again to just go home, so I said f-it and drifted anyway.

http://i906.photobucket.com/albums/ac268/di-devol/Capture-2.jpg

Turns out the turbo let go on the way there:

So a good friend helped me out with a deal on a GT2876r.

Comparison between the GT2871r and the GT2876r LOL
http://i906.photobucket.com/albums/ac268/di-devol/IMG512.jpg

Snug as a bug
http://i906.photobucket.com/albums/ac268/di-devol/IMG513.jpg

Spool time is comparable to the gt2871r .86 version, sucked in the seat at 4200rpms. Running only 14psi for a start, still a little worried about the clutch slipping. But I'll be doing some dyno runs at 20ish psi to see what she makes.

[irritatedmax]

Nice setup. I like the modified stock mani. Who did that?

[Boorito]

This thread had me stuck when I saw the single cam, but the SR obviously looks more fun. Great build thread!

[di-devol]

Nice setup. I like the modified stock mani. Who did that?
The setup is originally from FD driver Andrew Coombs.

This thread had me stuck when I saw the single cam, but the SR obviously looks more fun. Great build thread!
Thanks!

[di-devol]

And massive update.

Ever since building this SR I've had nothing but problems with it. Car would lean out at idle terribly, replaced every part imaginable.

We have now labeled it "Cursed"

Continued to drift when I could.

Some videos:
44852154
45612778

Hit up more events, always breaking something.

The car continued to run horrible, so I opted for aem ems.
Now to recent events, finally hit the dyno.

http://sphotos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/r270/820777_135701719932208_715194292_o.jpg
Clutch lets go at 16 psi, best I could do was 363.

Take her home and the alternator wiring catches fire and torches most of the lower harness.

http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/377770_135864793249234_1208405429_n.jpg

So Fix that and replace the lower harness.

Now the front main seal went. This is in the span of 2 days.
http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/149973_136253959876984_183028400_n.jpg

So, I replaced the front main, and take her for a spin. More oil is ow coming out of the crank pulley bolt. Pull the pulley off again and the crank is damaged letting oil run out.

No idea how that happened, but that was the final straw. Decided to part out what I could.

Next up, vvti- 1jz swap. Will update as parts roll in.

[ShadowMan]

Talk about hard charger. You just don't give up do you? Neither do I man. Hope the 1jz works out better for you. Nice videos.

[az_240]

Are you sure it's not just the pulley? They can wear down where that seal goes causing it not to seal as well. Also important to press those in flat.... I usually use a piece of flat wood with a hole drilled in the middle and carefully hammer it in like that

[di-devol]

I'm pretty sure it's not the pulley, I replaced it and the seal looked fine. The damage is on the inside of the pulley and on the crank. It was leaking out of the crank bolt lol.

For sure, Rich is such a nice guy too.

damn this build needs to come up again!

I had the same thing happen to my tire coming home from a drift weekend. Sidewall just decided it hated the rest of the tire, like 7 miles from home after being on the road for 3 hours. I like this build though.

[di-devol]

In the light of the last year, I'm having the chassis and engine harness completely redone. I am getting the wiring done by Fiend Performance.

I look forward to having a very good time with this build. 1j hits the garage on Thursday, along with parts.

I made some progress tearing it down, got the hydro pump off, twins off, and intake mani off. Got the harness ready to go to Fiend Performance as well.

More pics tomorrow.

[di-devol]

Ok, started working on the 1j now.

Taking a look, seems there is quite a bit of carbon build up, the cam lobes and journals look fantastic though.

Trying to get the crank pulley off, I threaded in two flexplate bolts and wedged a prybar in there to stop the crank from turning.,,
If you look, the threads didn't get damaged at all. If ever I had any luck, all the bad karma was absorbed into these two bolts. The threaded out of the crank like that!
http://i906.photobucket.com/albums/ac268/di-devol/IMG1356_zps020e7e0b.jpg

Eventually got the crank pulley off lol, installed some cam gears and a new timing belt. I'm waiting for the waterpump to show up. With a quick mock up of a small turbo and the new manifold.

http://i906.photobucket.com/albums/ac268/di-devol/IMG1357_zps6fb617cb.jpg

Decided after everything was cleaned and the harness off to send to Fiend Performance, I'd throw it in and do a mock up.

Seriously waiting for parts, waiting is lame haha.

I was able to get the intake manifold and throttle body cleaned and painted today. I also was able to score some manual doors to make the wiring process easier.

[Mannykiller]

Yeaa!!! moving along mang!!

[2muchboost]

Shit it seems like you have way more room in the bay then any 2J swap I have seen. Did you get our trans bracket to work? I am assuming your using the R154 and so far a few of us haven't had any sucess with the trans bracket install.

[di-devol]

No Trans yet, from how it sits now, the tunnel will need a good bit of massaging.

[Big Zee]

I used a Circuit Sports sandwich plate. Had no issues other than that lol, seemed like a nice piece actually.

Might I suggest the Tomei oil block peice ? I have it and its really nice, cheap to buy also, only like 100 bucks, but you have to relocate your filter, but doing so gives you the option to also run a oil cooler.

I have the GREX oil filter relocate box so I can run -10 for a oil cooler also., but the Tomei peice would take away a lot of wory of that peice breaking again.

love your build, and the vids of you in the PARC, you have really smooth runs, keep up the great work mate :)

[2muchboost]

Keep us posted if you get the trans bracket to work. Like I said I have been in contact with a few members and none of use were able to get it to install properly. The brackets goes into the chassis beautifully but the parts where the R154 mounts onto the bracket has not worked for anyone. Not sure if its any similar to the 2jz setup but the only part where I hammered in the firewall just a little bit is where the starter sits once everything was installed. It was like 1/8 of an inch from the wall so I hammered it in about a 1/4 of an inch in just to make sure it wouldnt make contact due to any movement.

Love the build....+1

Thanks man! I'm using something different for oil cooling on the 1jz, never again with a sandwich plate lol.

I have a mount I can try in the bracket tonight, Xcessive is local to me so I can see what's going on faster than most of you. I keep hearing that the holes are off. I'm happy that people dig the build, I've been through alot of bs, hoping this goes smoothly, so far so good!

LOL, I know right? Was crazy for sure, lets hope the curse was with the SR.

[di-devol]

Flocked the dash tonight. Holy shit that was not fun. Waaaaaaaay more work than one would think. I used the mini folocker at first until I got the dash cover were I was happy with it. Then gave up and just grabbed handfuls of that and started tossing it on there lol.


There is a lot of excess on there, I'll take some pics tomorrow after it's cured and shaken off.

Flocking the dash seriously sucked.

[irritatedmax]

But it looks badass.

What took so much time?

[di-devol]

But it looks badass.

What took so much time?

The "flocking process" took the most time. Putting the glue on was easy. You get this little canister:
http://www.craftflocking.com/images/mfl.jpg

The fibers are like dust coming out of it. Glue drying time is 10-15min, by the time I figured out how to get the dust to come out fast, the dying time was half over. Shaking it slowly worked better than trying to use it like a shake weight lol.

After I got the correct flocking texture using the mini flocker, I gave up and used handfuls of the stuff and kinda threw it on there lightly. That worked alot better, but I would use the flocker first.

Where did you get the material to do the flocking?

[di-devol]

Here is the write up I followed.
#/f/tech-talk/254699-how-flock-dashboard-give-suede-look.html

I ordered:
a 1lb bag of black nylon suede-tex fibers
Suede-Tex Color-coordinated Undercoat Adhesive 8 oz. can -Black
and a mini flocker.

Flock It! Flocking Fibers Adhesives Applicators Supplies and Equipment (http://www.flockit.com/index.php/)

Was about $55 shipped. Came out really good, I dig it a lot.

The 8oz can of glue was just enough to do the dash. I have enough fibers left over to do another dash.

[Extreme Dimensions]

come on! keep going on this project.

[di-devol]

Quick questions on fuel cell/surge tank setup. I'm having trouble understanding everything,

1) If I get a fuel cell with a sump, do I need a surge tank?

2) If I could use a surge tank is this a proper way to set it up?(pardon my chicken scratch)
http://i906.photobucket.com/albums/ac268/di-devol/IMG1378_zpsc522c81c.jpg

3) if you can read my writing, the two fittings on the side of the surge tank, one for return from rail, and one for low pump in, which one should be on top out of the two?

http://www.sm-engineering.co.uk/products/surge_jic.jpg

...and what's adequate low pressure? I see pumps ranging from 7-16psi, 7psi enough?

[2muchboost]

@Di-Devol.....below is a good link to basic information about a fuel surge setup.

1) No, once the fuel cell has a sump you would not need to run a Surge Tank. You would use the Surge Tank setup if you are keeping the stock fuel tank and feeding the surge to and from there. (hope that makes sense.....read the article it will).

2) Really depends on your external fuel pump setup. When I was thinking about running this setup I was going to have a Walbro 255 in-tank feed into the Surge. Then on the opposite side of the Surge I was going to have 2-Bosch 044s feed from the bottom of the Surge into the fuel rail. The above design would be good for one pump if thats what your looking for.


510 – DIY Fuel Surge Tank » RatDat.com (http://www.ratdat.com/?p=168)

My 2 cents...if you dont mind running a cell with a sump its a safer option. Less intricate setup with less pumps that may cause failure. Get a dual feed sumped cell with 2 bosch 044 pumps and you are good to go.

[di-devol]

Parts are finally starting to come in.

Mocking up the fuel cell.

Car goes in for the cage at the beginning of May. Then the wiring can get done.
More updates coming as parts roll in.

[huffandpuff00]

are you getting the cage done at psi?

[di-devol]

are you getting the cage done at psi?

No, going to racetech in portland. PSI and Rhom are both to spendy for me.

[huffandpuff00]

my old roomate had his cage done at racetech and it was 1800(6pt no gussets). JJ said they could try to match the price pretty close. idk how close pretty close is, i was planning on spending $2000 for a cage.

Holy hell that's expensive for a 6pt cage! My buddy got a 6pt cage done down here by a local race shop for $600 or $100/pt

Shit I'm well past 8k without a cage... This damn swap is not for the typical drifter on a budget

[di-devol]

Shit I'm well past 8k without a cage... This damn swap is not for the typical drifter on a budget

Nope, I agree.

I'm keeping the 1jz sealed, not touching anything this time.

So the budget included the cage/fuel/wiring/saftey gear.

[di-devol]

Finally got the routing done for the fuel cell and surge tank.

[Bumpkin203]

I like that blue, keep it coming!

[di-devol]

Nice build, just read through it all. One random question, how did you get one of Conrad Grunewald's doors?

lol, I won it on Facebook. We had to guess the weight without going over, and be within .1 of a pound. I actually called Seibon and asked how much their doors weighed, and took into account for the handle, paint and linkage, I was .1 under LOL.

I like that blue, keep it coming!

Thanks man! Looks great in pictures, up close, not so much.

Next Sat she goes for the cage(Finally). When she comes back the wiring can begin.

Picked up the car today, cage is dope as hell. Really, really happy with the work he's done. Racetech Motorsports in Portland OR, highly recommend them.

Got her home and painted the cage, tomorrow we fit the dash and get everything back in. Wiring is next, then fuel, trans/clutch driveshaft, then saftey gear and wheels. Lets get this show on the road!

My list of parts isn't really that big, just the parts are spendy lol. More updates coming soon.

[di-devol]

Kinda stalled up a bit over the summer(working on a tv show creates problems between seasons).

Picked up a few more sponsors, wiring harness came in, turbo came in, 5 lug stuff is coming as well.

I'm running out of room for stickers fast lol.

What harness did you go with?

[di-devol]

Wiring has started, the chassis harness is a keep it clean harness.

I'm so happy with the way this is turning out, huge thanks to Fiend Performance!

[di-devol]

Been a long while...

I've had somethings happen in life to make this slow going for the past year. I've been a Technical Director on NBC's Grimm for two years now.

I've just landed a Technical Artist job at Suckerpunch Productions and I am in the process of moving to the Seattle area.

Working on the car has been slow going while I get all the new shit together:

Wiring coming along:

I am waiting on the clutch and bellhousing to get here, then the motor finally goes in for good. The turbo is here waiting for the day to get installed with the wastegate as well.

After the motor goes in, it'll be towed up to the new house up north.

Happy new year folks!

[Tw1st3d]

seems like your in the same boat I've been in lately. New job, moving, life...
glad your keeping with it tho, and not turning around and selling it. That actually really is up lifting to see that.

How's the chassis harness going? that's been my biggest hurdle thus far. I really wish I had gone your route with the keep it clean harness.

I'll never give up haha. I'll be closer to evergreen for pro am anyway.
Actually, Guy from Fiend Performance is taking care of the wiring for me. I'm diggin the keep it clean harness as well.

[Tw1st3d]

you should pm the estimated cost on having them do it lol cause i'm losing my hair over this hahaha

cars looking great btw. Don't you hate painting the interior? :P

[irritatedmax]

What ebrake setup is that? Never seen it before but pretty clever mounting.

[Tw1st3d]

levelride concepts

[di-devol]

What ebrake setup is that? Never seen it before but pretty clever mounting.

It's one of the coolest parts I've got in a while haha. I had the e-brake originally welded to the tunnel, but it still flexed. This eliminated any flex I had and looks way cleaner.

[di-devol]

Finally some updates:

Final put together to install the engine.
http://i906.photobucket.com/albums/ac268/di-devol/IMG_00011_zpsdc115643.jpg

Bellhousing, clutch release hub, dash, waterneck, tailhousing and shifter extension show up this week. Engine goes in for the final time on Saturday.

[di-devol]

Well this is starting to become a pain in my ass.

I had one day off to get home from Seattle to Portland and work on the car to get it ready to tow up to the new house. So, of course, everything possible is fucked.

Some information for you 1j/2j peeps that need a shifter extension. I have an mk3 R154, picked up a 1jz bellhousing from Toyota. I also picked up a jzx100 tail housing with the stock shifter extension. The output shaft(s) bearing is different between the jzx100 and mk3/jzx90 transmissions. So the problem we had was not being able to pot the tail shaft on the mk3 transmission.

I ended up swapping transmissions last minute with a friend who needed a shorter shifter for his Cressida. (lucky as hell).

The bearing in question:
http://i906.photobucket.com/albums/ac268/di-devol/IMG_0035_zps4d442abf.jpg

That bearing meets with the tail shaft here:
http://i906.photobucket.com/albums/ac268/di-devol/IMG_0049_zpsa0dc85c0.jpg

After all that jazz, started assembling everything for install:

In the final stages of getting everything done. Fuel stuff is next!

[irritatedmax]

I like that recessed area of the garage. It's nice to have all that area to work on stuff in front of the car.

[di-devol]

I like that recessed area of the garage. It's nice to have all that area to work on stuff in front of the car.

It's really nice, the garage is a lot bigger than it looks too haha.

Little update, I finally got the engine and trans installed with the Xcessive mounts. Everything lined up so well it was stupid. Such a breeze with all new hardware.

I didn't have the issue with the trans mount being too big because I grabbed an Xcessive poly mount as well.

And a protip: If you use a jzx100 tripod shifter, it will sit REALLY far back(but I dig it, makes it nicely within reach having the seat and everything moved back.

[di-devol]

This is a 1jz as well yo.

[blockedwizard]

Love this build, the engine bay is so clean and car looks great. How's the quality on the driftmotion manifold?

[di-devol]

Thanks! THe manifold is decent, needs the holes hogged out to fit of course haha.

Some updates. Finally almost moved in.

Some of the fuel stuff showed up:
http://i906.photobucket.com/albums/ac268/di-devol/IMG_0185_zps96f52a01.jpg

Installed the new clutch line and tried to bleed it, and the clutch master let go haha. Getting a new one on Friday to finish that up. Bled the brakes and got that done as well.

We are waiting on the turbo(hehe), couple fuel system stuff, and the water pump. After that gets done in the next week, the wiring will be finalized and dash gets installed.

Then, start it.

[BiG MiKE86]

Lookin good! Can I see how you routed the hot side by the old battery tray? Top view? My buddy is fabbing my piping this weekend trying to get some ideas

[di-devol]

Sure, I'll take a pic after work. It's just literally a straight pipe to a coupler and a 90 to intercooler.

[di-devol]

Waiting for the turbo shit to get here now.

Some stuff I've been working on:


Catch can:

throttle cable
Driveshaft

Two to three weeks for the turbo stuff and water pump to get here to start it.

[K_style]

Hey Tim, shouldn't catch can be baffled ?

[di-devol]

OK, this thread is ancient.

So quick recap, I never finished the hatch, was still needing a driveshaft and work fell off. I was working at Suckerpunch(game studio), and after first light was released, my contract ended. Soooo I had to sell :/

The last few years I bounced around studios(Microsoft, Suckerpunch again, and now steady at Oculus Research. So work is good, time to start again.

Just picked up a 90 coupe with a singlecam 5-speed. It's seen better days, but we'll fix that.

http://i906.photobucket.com/albums/ac268/di-devol/Mobile%20Uploads/20170202_183246_zpszah2vbyk.jpg

The coupe has original motor it seems, power steering rack is shot, had white plasti dip in spots, blown apexi coils, and a welded diff.

Plans are to keep it simple(Try really hard at this), but this is for drifting here at Evergreen in Seattle.

Power steering rack, es bushings for the sway, endlinks, rack are on teh way. FA coils. and voodoo arms are coming, with some wheels and tires as well.

I think I've decided to go back to an SR(keep it simple) and a gtx2863(keep it simple).

Parts start coming this week. I'll update as things go. Half the pictures from the previous builds seem broken and I'll see if I can fix them.

[di-devol]

Alright here are some updates.

Got the power steering rack installed with es bushing up in the front:

[bmaddock]

Damn, rough reading that you had to sell that hatch. I was gonna ask about the DM turbo kit but I see you never got to drive it.

Your coupe looks nice! Excited to see what you do with it.

[rawgarage]

welcome back....keep the coupe simple....

[di-devol]

welcome back....keep the coupe simple....

lol

Who woulda thought that keeping it simple would be challenging?

[di-devol]

Alright, just a quick update as parts start coming in. I am transitioning from a contract to full time at Oculus. SO I need to fly down to San Francisco next weekend for orientation.

Anyway, some parts have shown up:

[Fuglychuki91]

Coming along awesome man.im probably going to end up going with a rack from them as mines leaks and moans and groans at the bump so I'm replacing it all at some point.

[di-devol]

I originally ordered street faction brackets for the seats, but on back order it seems and I couldn't wait.

425 Motorsports is literally 8 mins away, so I popped down there to grab one of their Planted low mount bracket.

Super happy with the bracket, honestly great, lowest bracket I've had!

[di-devol]

Ordered more parts with the help of 425Motorsports:

Omp WRC-R seat, planted brackets to move the fx1 to the passenger side. New Sparco spline QR, switched to street faction bracket for drivers side.

Also ordered wisefab with ackerman fd kit and gktech rear drop knuckles.

Up next i order the engine and parts for that.

[di-devol]

Installed some parts to get wheels on.

[di-devol]

Installed the hubs and rotors:


still waiting on wisefab and the rear gktech knuckles.

[bjreynolds202]

What made you go with voodoo13 arms over say SPL? I'm stuck between the 2.

Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

[di-devol]

They had them in stock at 425Motorsports lol, so I picked them up walking in.

[di-devol]

Just wheels update:

Spent way too much time using a big ass hammer trying to get this shit to not rub:

[di-devol]

First event I want to hit is Memorial day weekend. I pick up the Sr in 2 weeks, leaving 1 week to get to Beaverton, and 2 days to install before the event.

Spent the weekend installing the gktech knuckles and voodoo13 solid subframe bushings:

And rear setup complete, still have about -3° camber in back that I can't get out till I get some fenders.

Needs some body love, but that'll come last.

[Agamemnon]

How are the rear knuckles? I've heard that GKTECH stuff needs some massaging to work on some of their products. Everything fit fine?

[di-devol]

Yea, everything installed nicely. I'm having other issues, but I'll wait to update when it is solved.

[DaiGurren]

Your coupe is coming out dope man! Very clean

[OG_S13]

Any problems with the GKtech knuckles? Planning on getting them soon.

[di-devol]

Thanks, it'll get there

Any problems with the GKtech knuckles? Planning on getting them soon.
Not a problem with the knuckles per say, more of an issue with the knuckles and the arms you choose.

I'm using the voodoo13 arms with the gktech knuckles, there seems to be clearance issues if the adjusters come loose on the RUCA's.

It damaged the axle and boot, dented the RUCA. Issue now if trying to prevent it.

[OG_S13]

Oh, dang. I'm running ISR Arms, so I think the clearance will be worst.

[di-devol]

It's very blue.

[di-devol]

Wisefab installed. Was really easy to install.

[chris_240sx]

Looks like fun! Are you planning on coming out to Evergreen when it's running?

[di-devol]

Looks like fun! Are you planning on coming out to Evergreen when it's running?

Yep, I'm 20 mins from Monroe.

[chris_240sx]

I may have missed it somewhere in the thread, but what are your plans for the SR?

[di-devol]

It's till up in the air, but I'd aim for 350ish. So basics most likely, cams, turbo, inj oil pan etc.

I seem pretty good on suspension now, working out details for a kit and fenders the next week.

[chris_240sx]

That will be fun, I'm looking forward to the updates. Maybe I'll catch you at the track sometime.

[di-devol]

Made a trip down to portland to visit and pick up some parts.
ith it.

[di-devol]

After some careful thought, I decided to ditch the wisefab. I just couldn't handle the extreme amount of poke, like 70+mm fenders are needed.

[Mitsubayati]

Have you tried switching the RUCA so that it runs on the other side of the coilover? iirc it might have slightly less clearance against the coilover but it's worth a try.

[di-devol]

Have you tried switching the RUCA so that it runs on the other side of the coilover? iirc it might have slightly less clearance against the coilover but it's worth a try.

Yea, I did, talking to voodoo13 and gktech we figured it out. Flipping it around AND flipping sides worked. There is little clearance, but good enough.

[di-devol]

Little update:

Got the engine in my tiny ass apartment 1-car garage. I forgot how big a 1j is lol.

Tore right into her to replace gaskets pull a rod bearing, and general clean up: I don't know why, but this is the 2nd time I've picked up a 1j that never had it's oil changed.

[di-devol]

First wave of parts today. Transmission, intercooler, radiator, drive shaft, clutch etc will be here this week.

I just got the starter installed(switching to studs was a good choice).

Next week the wiring harness and clutch line/slave will get installed.

After that, I need to pick up some wheels, relocate the battery in the trunk, wire that up, and install a sway bar.

That'll get it running so I can hit an exhaust shop and get the exhaust done.

Shooooon.

Looks good man

Thanks!

My little girl and I spent time(when we weren't sick) getting the little things done on the car while we wait for parts.
Routed the battery cables to the front and fitted the ends, we are waiting on the circuit breakers to come.

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4697/25954235058_79e76c701d_c.jpg

We got the fuse boxes mounted and buttoned up the front of the 1j, and checking our vacuum line routing for the apexi avcr.

Moment of truth for first start....and no start.

Started the trouble shooting phase:
Ecu had power because the fuel pump turned on. So I started tracing wires and checking pinouts.
I wired in my apexi avcr boost controller, this gave me some readouts, TPS was working fine, so was the map sensor. I then checked all the sensors, coolant, cam sensors(x2), and the crank sensor.

Everything checked out.

So I tried to check for codes. No cel, checked that it was wired properly, and even connected my own light to the w pin, and no light. At all. Figured it was a bad ecu, so I have one on the way. I still think it's weird that the ecu would cause no fuel AND no spark. Anyway..

Since I can't start the damn thing, I figured it would tidy up and install stuff better while I wait.

So I go to mount the igniter in a better spot, and the damn thing literally falls apart :

Replaced the ecu, igniter, crank sensor, new plugs, added more grounds, changed a couple pack and ended up with this.

I'm thinking the open downpipe is the popping you hear.

[di-devol]

Little update.

The popping sound was actually a misfire on cylinder #2. So I picked up a spate set if coils and replaced #2, and added a different injector for #2.

Idles great at about 800-900 warmed up.

Finally out for a test drive:

I raised the car up some thinking the 1jz would weigh it down, seems that was not the case lol. I lowered it about an inch from that picture, and kinda worried how low the cd trans hangs down.

Still no exhaust yet, have quite some work left. Kit/fenders, body work and paint after exhaust.

Had no leaks(for once), everything seems really good.

[di-devol]

I always seem to have the best of luck with this shit(Bad luck at end of post)

Been taking it slow with the test drives, and finally got out to get the exhaust done.

The CD trans hangs about 2 inches below the frame rails, I had to raise the car up for the sake of my sanity. This thing is huge.

It was nice to get a good look under the car, as I only had the car on jack stands.

Went with a temporary solution, I figured the twins would go at some point.

Drive home was awesome, car felt good, .85 bar boost, finally sounded like a 1j.

Then, of course, the twins let go:

No boost(like +.005 on the controller) sounds like a mini cop siren from the rear turbo. I assume since the rear let go, the front turbo won't build pressure. And now snokes like a bitch.

I was planning to go single, just not this soon. If I have to remove the twins, I ain't putting twins back in.

Update

Got the twins off and inspected what was going on. The rear turbo was grinding the front cover, and the front turbo blew a seal. Fun stuff.

Getting the twins out in car, seriously sucked.

But single turbo setup on the way, having a jumper made for a Link ecu, so we can get this thing done.

I have a little bit of wiring left to do today for the sensors. First start(again) should be tomorrow night.

First drift event will be end of may at parc. So close.

Looks great! Can't wait to hear how PARC goes. I was looking at that same turbo, I think it will pair well with 1J

I looked really big when I got it, looks more decent sized once mounted.

I grabbed it from AGP turbo, they have the weld on elbow option for like $40

[di-devol]

Well, as usual I am blessed by the fortunes of bad luck. After getting it all together i drove it to work. Everything was great and was a blast to drive. On the way home, i lost all oil pressure.

Seems the oil pump or a seal failed. Out came the engine. Inspected everything and it all looked fine. I replaced the oil pump, all the seals and gaskets on my way out.

Seems I got lucky and the drop in oil pressure didn't trash the engine.

Full boost(8psi atm) seems to be 3700rpm, this turbo is awesome

Been driving around breaking stuff in. Boost is about 10 psi currently, afr's still in the 10's. Gonna take a few to get used to this trans, gears are super close together. Needs an alignment bad.

[di-devol]

Went and got an alignment, turns out the drivers side strut tower was pushed in. This made the alignment wonky. Had a odd knocking in the rear, i ripped a subframe stud from the body.

Parted out.

darn shoulda fixed it !!!!

Fuck all that shit. I'm so done with that.

So after a quick 5 day part out. I was able to get a new chassis to play with.

Picked up a 1993 jzx90 Chaser Avante. It's all original, never modified, has 16k miles on it(after converting from km). It's a stock na 1jz, with auto. I'm so stoked to to get it.
