Its a just a factory 4AGZE motor for now, the only things I have done is changed intake setup, water air intercooler, larger throttle body, exhaust and thats about it, I do have a larger Blitz crank pulley which I will put on later when the car is up and running.

IT LIVES


After I fixed all the fuel leaks I had, I temporarily wired it up and started it up. It started first pop which for this project is quite amazing considering I took me over a week just to bleed the brakes.

It ran fine with abit of gas but dies if you let it idle to long, plus the paint on the manifold started to bubble, not sure why at this stage.

But after all this time its great to see it actually running, I was also abit worried about how loud the exhaust was going to be but its not that loud at all, although the supercharger wasn't connected.
