Thanks Evan, mounts are on the way from peter kittle.


I need more part numbers if anybody is in the know...

- Throttle body gasket
- Radiator drain hose (connects to bottom of radiator)
- Hose (rear of engine, connects motor to heater tap)
- Turbo Gasket Kit

This will be all then. I will contribute somewhat to a tutorial after this hopefully when it all goes well. Its been a ride so far for my mechanic!

Part answering my question, part numbers for throttle body gasket and turbo gasket are

Turbo Gasket Kit 04175-46010
Throttle Body Gasket 22271-88400

Gotta love the forums search function! Came across a website called ToyoDIY.com, very helpful.

Will keep you guys posted with the progress.

This is how it looks thus far...

Radiator bottom hose 16572 46050. There were none in here in NZ so I have used a bottom rad. hose from a JZZ31 (6572 46060).

Heater water inlet hose 87245 24240.

Might pay to check the two turbo oil line hoses as well
(drivers side bottom of block, connected to the sump). They seem to go hard and brittle.

All parts sourced and purchased.

I will update this thread / speak to Peter about a tute thread with a master parts list and the best suppliers for major services.

I can highly recommend Kudos Motorsport in QLD, next day delivery (even though I'm in TAS), and very good prices.

Driftmotion, a US store, has a massive catalogue, and with the strong AUS dollar are also a good option.

And as usual Castle Hill were more than happy to help with the remainder of parts.

Also if anybody is chasing engine mounts, search for Ebay seller 'peterkittletoyota' (thanks evan for that one) - I emailed him and he sourced them within a day!

Will keep you all posted on how the build goes :-)

70 a piece is good mate, unfortunately they couldn't source them / none in stock when I enquired, but no great loss. Still got some for a decent price compared to retail.

To top things off I am paying my interior a note or two, with a new levoc woodgrain / chrome shifter and a perfect drivers door trim (consider mine looks like it was a pitbulls chew toy for months on end!)

Okay so this is almost done. For those who haven't experienced the joys of installing ARP head stud kits before, know there is an issue with finding the right socket. A stanley 13mm 12 point needed to be ground down and modified to fit the ARP nuts and clear the head.

All is good now though, looking bright to have the car back very soon. I will post some more comprehensive advice for whatever hasn't been covered before or whatever the search function can't dig up :-)

It is in the final few days of build, here is a piccy...

Kudos Motorsports and James Sloane offered priceless assistance and advice, and everyone who contributed to this thread.
