944GTTE Project
Pardon the quality of the images but the majority were taken on from my cellphone as i went.
I might have posted this log before the jack. This has been my ongoing project since the summer of 07 and is nearing completion. The car is a 1986 Porsche 944 The engine Toyota 1JZGTE I will add descriptions to the picture over the next few days as this is a lot to post all at once. |

12.5 lbs lightweight 1jzgte Flywheel Direct from Japan, $230 Stage II pressure plate came with 7mgte disk (if you need the 7mgte clutch disk I still have it) Machined the center clutchhub and spliced it with the 944 bearing. I had to pull the manifold off to put the new wiring harness on decided to clean it up and paint it with caliper paint while i had it off. Just some color for now.

I had to laugh at the picture of you upside down in the drivers seat. I can't count the number of times I've been in the same position.

Props for the work. I'm sure you must be excited to take it out for a rip.
I personally wouldn't have painted the piping blue, but if it floats your boat then good on ya.

LS1 = aprx $2500 + shipping 1JZ only cost me $1000 shipped. LS1 and LT1s already have kits for them. After every thing is tested I plan to have the parts machined, documented, patented and maybe even sell kits. who knows. I also love the Toyota engines. Quote:
So that is my biggest issue right now. |

Weather sucks
Cali Weather has sucked ass lately, I have had enough clear time in between all the rain to install the "heater" radiator with a higher water reserve point. Will have pic up soon, have also removed some more carpeting and dead weight.
Now that the plumbing is done for the extra radiator I have two more things to do before I test drive it. *brake booster wiring (from scratch now...) *solid motor mounts (no room for engine flex/wobble) |
