BUMP with no updated pictures? Yup. No more excuses, this thing needs to get finished. Deadline is set that I have to finish before or on June 13th. The engine is all bolted together, just need to figure out wiring and bolt the tranny on. If I can accomplish both those things tomorrow i'll be stoked and pull an all nighter to put it in the engine bay. Wish me luck, I'm tired of having an amazing engine just taking up space in my garage and not where it belongs.

Picked up a hood and bumper off this guy yesterday. Awesome kid, and an even awesomer ride. I can say I'm jealous, I don't know how much work his done to it but it looks about the same in the last pic he posted. But he'll get it done, he looks like he knows what his doing.
Thanks again man, and keep it going

looking like a very nice transplant going on here.
Do you plan on keeping the 2SGTE running stock or have you got plans for a bigger turbo?
You using stock ECU? Also I see they've supplied you with drive shafts and propshafts. Is it a straights implant? Also will you be running this as a FWD only?
good **** rico....i demand more pictures though...and give us a video of it running....hopefully everything else from here on out is smooth sailing

hey.. i dunno if you finished your swap.. but the way I handled the fuel problem was to run the big blue wire that goes from the fuel pump(underneath your back seat), to a power source.
THIS IS WHERE WE HOLD THEM!Still trying to find the cure for ST205 asthma..6gc.net's outlaw vigilante because im a LEADER not a follower.
thanks. i'll run the fuel pump @ constant if i can't resolve my issue.

magnaflow suggestions anyone?
The "Fly Low" Project: 3rd Gen 3SGTE
its looking good man...did you get the crossmember and all the mounts in?
as for an exhaust...go with a full 3"
as for the muffler...theres a few that sounds good on our cars...the magnaflow is defentially a good choice...the others that i have found that sound really good is the Megan GT turbo muffler (i might be going with) and the HKS hi power silent (little on the pricey side but looks badass and sound pretty damn good too.

Quick break down:
PROBLEM: the car starts and dies within 15-20 seconds.
SOLUTION: checked all my wiring and SEEMS to be right. jumped B+ to FP, st205 fuel pump is heard on ignition turn and stays running.
PROBLEM: LEAN! at least that's what my temporary rigged AEM UEGO is telling me.
SOLUTION: clueless.
PROBLEM: i just want to drive this thing and can use all the help i can get.
SOLUTION: anyone free friday?
