SC300 VVTi Swap Part 5

noreply@blogger.com (SpeedChrome LLC) — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 17:22:00 +0000

Well, I finally pulled the motor and tranny with the help from my GF. Next is the auto to manual conversion and miscellaneous changes like trunk shocks, rebuilding the TT Brake calipers and getting them powdercoated red. I also need to relocate some wires under the front fender, etc. Here are the rest of the pictures.

I went ahead and ordered these new parts for the next phase.

Fan Shroud
Supra Upper Transmission Tunnel
Seals (Crank, Cam)
Shock Mounts
Brake Rebuild Kit
Clutch Parts
GTE Throttle Cable

I'm also going to make a custom ProEFI wiring harness for the motor, that will take awhile. I'm also still looking for a Fluidyne or Koyo Radiator and Power Steering Reservoir.

Total Time Spent: ~4 Hours

Here's part 2 of the swap, we got the stock rear subframe out and installed the Supra subframe this weekend. This took about 4 hours but half the time was spent moving and trying to figure out how to put things back so that we wouldn't need to keep lifting and moving subframes around. Rest of the pictures are located here.

SC300 VVTi Swap Part 1

noreply@blogger.com (SpeedChrome LLC) — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 06:57:00 +0000

Half the work involved moving and cleaning the 2nd bay. It didn't take too long to get the drain fluids, remove exhaust, driveshaft and front section of the engine bay. The dirty work was done by a friend, a very helpful friend. He thinks he may be liking the SC300 enough to possibly pick one up in the future.

Total Time Spent: ~4 Hours

Taking Apart the Motor

noreply@blogger.com (SpeedChrome LLC) — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 06:49:00 +0000

Here is a quick picture of my garage with the VVTi motor setup getting taken apart. I basically took off the tranny and stock twins but left everything else in place. I'm going to use ProEFI on this setup in order to control the intake cam and run E85. Here are the rest of the pictures.

This is a kit that we sell. This one in particular comes with nozzles for 75-150 wet shots. It also includes a built in purge kit. This kit comes with everything needed for an install and everything can be hidden away easily.

Brisk Silver Racing Plugs

noreply@blogger.com (SpeedChrome LLC) — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 06:05:00 +0000

These are very good plugs for the price, they run $11 dollars each for the plugs that go on 2JZ-GTE motors. I've never had misfiring on these plugs for 6 months running E85 using AEM V1 with DLI. I've sold a couple of sets to the MZM International guys and they like it alot running on their high powered 4G63 setups.
