Project 1MZ-FTE (Dyno update 10/14)

[shidosha01]

I've been getting some emails regarding the progress of the car and here are the pics. By the time I get back from California the intercooler piping and wastegate would already be installed. Next week is install of the electronics ie..Boost Controller and Turbo Timer. We are considering throwing out the 370cc injectors and go with either 440cc or 550cc because we plan to run 17psi of boost on the T66 turbo. We're still waiting to hear from RC Engineering to confirm with us for our setup. If we do have to go with bigger injectors then our next step is to possibly upgrade to 255ltr fuel pump and go with the new Greddy emanage ultimate system. 2 more weeks till we crank the motor!

Passenger side with Intercooler without bumper


Driver side with Intercooler without bumper


3 Custom mounting brackets special thanks to Joe from Tempest Racing


Carlos Arrieta Jr. pointing out 2.5 inch downpipe for clearance


3 inch test pipe to ensure proper flow with JP Performance exhaust


From the finger up to motor is 3 inch downpipe to T66 turbo


Wastegate will be installed there with custom pipe extracting exhaust
gases down to front bumper


T66 mounted and fitted with K&N 4inch monster filter


Passenger side with bumper. Intercooler piping will route with 45*elbow coupler up to turbo.


Driver side with bumper. Intercooler piping will route same way the CAI did to throttle body. (Will still use Injen intake piping)


Intercooler clearance with bumper. (Tucked in nicely)


Intercooler with bumper and foglights. (Removed bumper mesh and kept foglights!)

looks nice, the FMIC looks just like mine. but be aware of the clearance of the oil line from the downpipe. I had greddy oil filter relocation kit before and my down pipe actually burned a hole on my oil lines.

Looks great... how'd you get your gen 1.5 kit to stay on the car so well ?!? PM me with details Rizal. Mines keep coming off.

Nyccee pics, they still don't do "Tabasco" any justice....

Carlos is a true master! The whole project is beautiful.

If you need anything for the exhaust, please let me know. (Larger diameter flex joint, flanges, etc. ) Carlos will have to custom bend the pipes, but I have access to a variety of exhaust components in different sizes.

I'd be honored to donate to such a worthy project. (Just this once. )

Looking good!!! Id suggest you hit up RC Engineering for their 550cc injectors... That beast is gonna be thirsty (get a 255lph while youre at it).

This is so beautiful. . . and very clean set up. . . *two thumbs up*

Ok I got my answer Rizal- lookin good man. Are you going to find someone to coat that exhaust for you. You will be really pumpin the heat now, coating will really help contain that heat and push it away from the motor. I can't wait to hear how the finish product feels and GOES. Time to invest stock in your favorite Tire Manufacturer. Oh that's right you probably can't with all the cake spent on the car. Heh heh, aint it great!!
Pave the way Rizal!!

Thanks everyone for the positive comments.

I'm thinking RC Engineering will tell us 440cc but Carlos Jr. thinks they'll say 550cc. He's most likely right. He's a Pro Rally Race car driver/engine builder and I'm just a small business owner. Yes, we're leaning towards 255lph fuel pump.

Thanks bro. Arrieta Motorsport will coat the down pipe and test pipe the same color as the JP Headers and Exhaust.
