Excuse the mess!
Pipework etc will be tidied up, also I like how the engine management light isn't on, first attempt! (probably means its wired into something else lol)
Unfortuantely the fuel pump (walbro) seems to have failed since... so I'm going to use the stock Lexus one.Last edited by Karma Supra; 9 July 2013, 20:20.More Lift.

OK, I've been rubbish at updating this!!!!
So where were we...
There was a fair bit of wiring to do.....
Some relays to add (with the "help" of the cat)
I had to legthen the auto shifter 3.5CM
It's a compromise, but I had to flatten off a bit of the header for cylinder no.1.
I'm not too fussed about restriction, as the exhaust ports are quite small, and the cross sectional area of the "flattened" bit is still larger.. I know that's an oversimplified model of how exhausts work, but, it's man maths.... still, it was either that or mount the engine way heigher, or move the upper suspension wishbones....
The rest of the exhaust looks like this,
A rough idea of where everything sits, keeping the twin battery setup.
Loads of room
Drilling holes in the floor is so wrong... Second Lambda hole, drivers side...
I had to dig through 4 layers of sound deadening!v
Sorry for the Pic quality... but it gives an overall idea of what it looks like underneath...
The airbox also mounts the oil filter relocation kit and ADD VSVs.. when finished it will be fed directly from some ducting I need to make from the intercooler bonnet scoop.
You can just about see the drivers side gas strut.
The way the pre built kits fit the gas struts is to have a braket that screws through the sheet metal of the inner and outer wing with a self tapping bolt.
I didn't like that idea, so despite buying a kit, I removed the outer winngs and drilled a hole in the inner wings, to mount a ball joint, bolted in, for a more factory look.
Naturally, everything had to be painted and undersealed.
The VVTi power steering resevior doesn't mount on the head... so it has to mount to something not on the engine... mine goes here. The brackets and clamps are stainless.
Driven out of the garage for the first time, looking a bit sorry for itself with 6 months of dust! but hey, it has an MOT
So I went to the pub to celebrate...
For those that could not see the videos earlier...
