So i’ve been draining my bank account and buying alot of awesome new parts lately, while making alot of progress on my car.

Justin Norris over at Precision Turbo specd out this turbo for me to suit my power goals with the 1JZ. It’s a 5857sp Ball bearing turbo w/ billet compressor wheel and a .82 V-band exhaust housing. This turbo is beautiful. I’d really like to thank Justin and the guys at precision turbo for taking care of me and helping me pick the right turbo for my needs.  

This is Precisions new 46mm external wastegate that still utilizes a 44mm flange.

It comes with everything  you need.  Extra Springs, clamps, flanges, and hardware.

New Precision 680cc low impedance injectors and some more clamps, flanges and injector plugs

I ordered this oil pedistal for my oil cooler setup from Pegasus.

I got a brand new remand steering rack. My old one was leaking pretty bad and the lines were all torn up.

Inbetween spending a small fortune on new parts I managed to get some work done to my car. I got the head beed blasted and hot tanked. Ready to put new valve seals in as soon as my new BC springs and retainers show up from MA motorsports.

To help prevent the surface rust that had started from getting any worse, I decided to seam seal everything while my engine bay is bare.

Engine bay all clean and done with paint. I also painted the crossmember and bolted in the new steering rack.

This is my new fuel pump. It’s a bosch 044. I had to do a little cutting and tweaking to get this monster to fit inside the stock fuel tank.  Should handle up to 700-800 HP. Plenty for what I need. On the right is my old walbro pump that was maxed out at about 350whp.

I got a couple days off work so I went down to Pennsylvania and  dropped off my engine block  for my buddy Ryan to rebuild. Thats about it for now. Keep checking back for updates. This car should be making alot of progress in the next coming weeks.

My roomate gave our garage a little Xmas present. Can’t wait to start using this thing.

I started tearing down this 1jz engine to do a headgasket and head studs. When I took the head off I realized that one of the rods was bent. Now I have to do a complete rebuild. My luck still hasn’t changed. Hopefully 010 will treat me a little better.

Here is the head all in order and marked. Sending the head out to be cleaned and the Block is going to my buddy in PA to have the bottom end rebuilt.

Parts are ordered. This rebuild should go together pretty quickly so check in for updates.
