Josh G's 2012 Progress thread (2200 Turbo build)
Monday, January 16, 2012 9:40 AM
I just wanted to post up some new pictures of where the car is at. I made some major changes in some areas.









I decided to go with a Wilwood big brake kit over O.E.M.'s, swapping out the Zenetti Vega's for Motegi Trak lites, upgraded to a Chrome PowerMaster Alternator, upgrade the vacuum hoses to a Hose Candy vacuum hose kit, and I am replacing the factory throttle body with a custom Sleaved Throttle Body by O.E.M

So far they seem pretty sweet, I wasnt excite about the hoses at first but everything is pretty nice. I went Black on Black just to keep it all clean. Trying to keep the engine bay all chrome, black, and carbon fiber. I have some more adjustments to do like fuel fittings and wire harness. None the less you get the idea.

I actually scooped it on the .Org in the audio section of the classifieds. I had my eye on it for a few weeks and it just happened to be available when my money was right. Looks great in the engine bay for sure.

Thanks man! It's no where near where I want it to be but, it is coming along. I finally decided on a color. I am going to paint the car Toyota/Lexus Starfire Pearl White. I think between the dry black rims and that color the car should look pretty clean.

What do you all think about the color choice? If your not familiar with the color its on the IS250 and many other Lexus vehicles.

It actually sits on the bottom radiator core support and does not sit any lower than the intercooler.

I had a monstorous ohv build like this before. My only concern is are you sure that your charge pipe will clear the hood?

Clears the hood no problem. In the picture the charge pipes are not clamped down and sitting loosely in the engine bay where they will be running.

Very nice. I wish I was half as far as you. I wish I could find a larger throttle body for the 95-97 model year OHVs, but since it's an oval, I haven't found anyone that will do it yet...

Do you have your new throttle body yet from OEM?

No I have not received it as of yet but, I scooped that windage tray and crank scraper from the classified section and I stopped off at the speed shop and got an update on the car. They just finished the wiring harness and it looks tits.

Other than that not a lot new. Will snap some updated pictures when I get home from Wisconsin next week.

How low is that pipe under the rad support?

It's an optical illusion. The intercooler is actually higher than the radiator support and both charge pipes are above it as well. As soon as the car gets up on a lift I will take some better pictures to show height.

Nothing super new and exciting to report... I picked up a set of Fierce Instinct ZR 235 35 19s to go with my Motegi Traklites. Wanted to post up some pictures of the exhaust system.

Enjoy..sorry for the crappy cell phone pictures. My camera batteries died on me.
