phxdemon, the pic of the built 1NZ motor is in post #9 and other threads as well.

we may do a 2 step process and get the stock wired up and tuned, work out the bugs, then swap and retune -- OR we'll get really excited and just go for the built motor.

arkhangel, no idea if that hood strut will fit a sedan - i doubt the angles etc are the same.

today Art cleaned up the rest of the engine bay. Here's a pic showing the motor -- the fuel pressure regulator is just sitting there until he figures a location for it.

Sweetness, keep up the pics!

PHXDEMON · 02-23-2009, 06:57 AM

Pretty

Tamago · 02-23-2009, 09:07 AM

why are you doing away with A/C? it's not in the way of anything....

cali yaris · 02-23-2009, 09:26 AM

One less pulley + clean engine bay + weight savings.
With an electric water pump, I'll only have two pulleys on the car.

m911gt · 02-23-2009, 09:37 AM

looking clean Garm, keep it up!

cali yaris · 02-23-2009, 11:31 AM

^ yeah, no kidding, but we have some tricks up our sleeves to address that. Holdener isn't the only one capable of making an intake mani for this car.

That is correct.

rob323 · 02-23-2009, 04:52 PM

Garm, are you guys ditching the factory intank fuel pump/filter/regulator setup altogether and redoing it in the more conventional way? Or just blocking off the intank regulator and adding a return line?
