Josh42 Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 Not a lot of progress last few weeks unfortunately as my mom has been in and out of hospital. Painted the engine block, cam covers and engine covers satin black and started polishing up my intake manifold...it's coming along okay.... Also changed front and rear crank seals and the cam cover gaskets. Ill try and get some pics up over the next few days and hopefully get back with some major progress.

Fly Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Sorry to hear about your mum. Sounds like its coming along, once mine is complete I'm going to do my cam covers and intake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 Found some more photos of the progress. This was when we removed the oil pan for drilling and tapping the oil return. And when we removed the cam covers for painting. Everything appeared to be in good condition with no nasty swarf in the pan and so should be a healthy engine to build on:) Progress is still slow at the moment due to the car waiting to go in for paint and my lower arm giving up among other things!

Josh42 Posted October 26, 2013 Author Share Posted October 26, 2013 Small update:car came fresh out of paint in July, so a little later than expected, but wow! What a difference! Nice fresh 3L2! I also took this opportunity to change the boot rubbers, a few seals and some bolts and trim pieces. Following this I also fitted some Tein S-Tech lowering springs to improve the stance of my car a little:) here's how she's currently sitting: Now, the NA-T build had kind of ground to a halt as other things had taken priority, however after much extensive research, and assisting Rich.2211 with bits and pieces of his build, I decided I no longer wanted to run the T70. I was instead going to run a T61 kit, on lowered compression. I also decided, that I would take this opportunity to strip and rebuild the head to future proof the motor:) Much of this inspiration came from the superb work of Rich on his build. So, this evening, we have completely stripped the head and I will be replacing the stem valve seals with new OEM items, along with a complete gasket set and a 2JZ-GTE head gasket. I look forward to making more progress now, the build looks to be back on track! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted October 26, 2013 Author Share Posted October 26, 2013 I have since, fitted clear front and side indicators to eradicate the orange blobs and update the front of the car. It was also time to refurb my brake calipers as I had a sticky piston and replace the rear brake discs. I opted for some Mtec drilled and grooved items, which seem to be a decent upgrade! This is how they turned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich.2211 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I've heard a rumour that you can get some good deals from Toyosports if you visit in person and pay cash, although they're very well priced anyway.

Josh42 Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) So! Today I took delivery of my Turbo kit. It's a Whifbitz kit with the Borg Warner S360, minus the SMIC as I'll be using a FMIC instead. Can't thank Paul enough for all of his help with this and would highly recommend it. Below are some photos:) Edited November 25, 2013 by Josh42 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
