Its f*cking awesome mate 
I was gonna wait until she was completely running but these latest photos gave me such a chubby I thought I'd post up now.
And I'm thinking its not a million miles away now from starting, I mean its just a few little wires to be connected up 
Lotsa stuff / bits added / done...
- 2JZ vvti
- Holset HX40, bored out wastegate
- Oversized Ally Radiator
- Clutch rebuilt and springs uprated
- Custom pipework and manifold (6 matched length pipes)
Already had GReddy FMIC, Walbro fuel pump and full exhaust.
To be done in the future...
550's / Adaptronic e1280
Thanks heaps mate, really impressed

Strewth that would be fast! And if my engine were ever to blow, I'd like to do something like this. Then again, a twin screw on my engine would satisfy my need for more power! |

So Neil.. what can you do for a V8? And how much roughly? Though it would include me driving it over there i guess... |

Stock 2JZ-GTE VVT-i, Holset HX40 with waste gate enlarged. Going to get it going on stock ECU at first, then when all is stable, install Adaptronic 1280 Super ECU.

V8 I am thinking around, as there are a few options.
Maybe
2 x HX35's
1 x HX50 / 55
2 x KKR380's
There will be a good chance there will some humps in the lower front corners of the hood.
I have another idea on setups, but we wont go there just yet
Costs, I could not even start to explain.
All I can say is,( As I normally do ), start the process in reverse.
Make your mind up if you want to do Street Tuff / Drag / Track.
Diff ( Hunt for a T2 )
Trans ( Tuff Auto or Manual )
Exhaust
ECU ( Your call or my recommendation )
Brake Upgrade ( Nothin wrong with Celsiors )
Suspension to suit the new power level
Turbo / Supercharger ( Check your $$ balance )
This way, at least you can stop the process at any time upto the forced install and still get enjoyment from your car. |

Hey Neil,
What's involved in boring out the wastegate and how much does it cost?
I have my eyes on a Holset HE351cw, (22mm internal gate iirc) and enlarging it sounds preferable to buying an external gate.
do you modify the wastegate spring too? |

You will have to find a larger plate before doing any machine work to the hole. |

What do you mean by plate? like the wastegate flapper? I think there's a dude in the US who does 40mm ones |
