Tired of 4 bangers, didnt want the weight of the JZ and needed another good sounding car.

The solution.
1UZ
R154 with custom billet adapter
Cusco hyper single clutch
1 piece aluminum DS
custom headers, mounts, shift linkage
full V banded exhaust
HKS carbon ti muffler with custom y pipe(not on yet)
jeep parts on the trans to make it work lol
kouki tail lights
kouki sideskirts
type x front

Nice work. And I love the location of the starter. ugh.

agentAndy

yep. had the ka, sold that, had the sr for time being, sold that to help fund the swap. Still need to put the non hicas subframe in, or make a hicas eliminator bar and have free toe rods...
scratch the request for tension rods, i just bough new spl shit.
not mentioned as well is a nardi wheel, s14 leather seats, custom nismo power brace style tension rod brackets, spl rear SF collars, full mint interior and a horrible fitting dashmat, lol

agentAndy

its the best location for a starter on a v8, far away from the heat of the headers and leaves plenty of room for the headers as well. Pulling the intake only take about 5 minutes, as i have eliminated all the evap, egr, and emissions stuff that takes all the time in doing it on a stock ls400/sc400.
The time frame required for engine removal is the exact same as a SR/KA. I actually find it easier to pull/install the v8. It is awesome.

Nice. I made that statement due to the fact of call time on the intake gaskets on a sc. Nice job simplifying.

agentAndy

Everything was simplified. All of the egr, evac, emissions, and auto trans wiring was removed and de-pinned from the harness. I added bosch relays for the ecu to turn on chassis power and FP circuit, just like oem. If it didnt need to be there is was removed.

Have you driven it? How does it feel?
