They end up just after the thermostat/pump. Will check tomorrow for a part number.

Thanks, just solved 2/3 things. Just can't work out where that water temp probe goes, engine doesn't piss water out anywhere and where the wires sit there doesn't look to be anything where it could screw in.

Will add to this as I find things that I can't work. First up is vacuum lines for the tvis, got it hooked up but think its constantly open. if someone could explain or chuck up a drawing in paint of how its meant to be would be mint. Secondly where can I get water temp from? theres a single plug and wire coming from the front of the pump but don't want to just got casually plugging it into my dash wiring. Thirdly have a mysterious plug that broke off pulling the loom out of the box after getting it stripped out and have no idea where it screws into or what it does.

Thought a few times about doing that, but trying to explain it isn't exactly my strong point lol. Will grab some pics of what I've got and try explain tomorrow night.

Probably won't bother with a trust manifold, my set seems to similar to fork out the cash just build a nice stainless straight pipe off the back of them. Add to the fact I sense a big auto sparky bill in the near future so my coins will be almost non existent lol.

Took it round the block once it got dark tonight, damn what a sound that 1ggeu makes. Just need to get the last of the gauges and heater working, which is all beyond me and my test light lol.

Got the rev counter and alternator hooked up but the charge light stays lit, have the sensor from alternator to the cars sensor wire, lamp from alternator to lamp+ignition from car and ignition from alternator to nothing. Got another sender and had it re threaded as Toyota decided to use a different bit of the scale. Just need to find what wire comes from the dash, along with how the old motor got the water temp. Doesn't help there's almost nothing on the cars/engines around the internet lol. Ryan Fels? as in Eagle Mask jzx61 Ryan Fels? (lets out girlish scream)

Just remembered I still haven't hooked up the alternator so that could be the problem (face palm). But the loom for the engine was stripped down and sent back to me with 3 wires to get it running. Got most of the sensors that are still there hooked up. had to run another oil gauge, couldn't get either of the original ones to work. But will try hook the alternator up tomorrow, have to rewire it from an old rectangle 2 pin plug to a circle 3 pin plug. Thanks guys, probably would have forgotten to wire it up and wondered why I always had a flat battery lol.

How do i get the car to know the engines running? all the lights on the dash stay lit up like you've just turned the key to on. Thinking its something to do with the tach? still haven't got it receiving a signal tho. Toyota gx61 Mk II, running 1ggeu from supra.

Can see that sounding amazing lol. got all the vacuum lines sorted tonight, runs 100X smoother, but think my tvis is working backwards if thats possible.

Will keep the valance for now, might get tempted to bolt it on one day. Yup, exhaust is next on the list. Just need to decide what to do.

Finally it runs, just need to finish capping vacuum lines and clean up the mess I made with the wiring(to ashamed to put the picture of it up).

Can't remember where the invoice went but was about 380 air freighted for the spoiler and the valance (to scared to run on chch roads) and a few other little things. Those trust headers look nice still want to get a set, looks like the will fit a bit better around the engine bay.

The guy I brought the engine off, where made for 1geu (I think) so had to change the flange and mongrel them up a little bit. can get sets off yahoo japan tho they are a bit pricey.

Lost interest for a bit but got it into the garage for the last push to get it going, got my wheels cleaned up and powder coated, and almost everything else is done just need the distributo and a couple of wires hooked up. Excuse the high riding, spring are all out of wack after jacking it up lol

Haha yeah, the interwebz is a small place.

Flappers... Needs Flappers. But seriously that looks awesome how it is, just needs some bigger shoes.

Thanks for that, was more just questioning the design. Not a fan of bilsteins, seen other people run them in speedway and never seem to work properly.

Looking at getting a set of coil overs like these for my x61 but questioning getting cert for them, as its a ?McPherson? setup and the single bolt into the body probably wasn't designed to hold the weight of the whole car through the springs? And can get a set for the front but I'm assuming I would need some sort paper work with them saying they're built to some sort of standard? Rear setup im looking at: http://page2.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b143840667

I've tried it without ox but doesn't really do much in the way of heating just paints everything a nice black lol.

We just use lpg and oxygen and works fine for bending,beating and getting stubborn bolts out. Can't cut put sacrifices have to be made.

Awesome thanks for that. Helped answer a few questions.

I honestly have no idea thought red tops were the GEU and blue the GE?

It's only a 1G GE out of a mk III supra. Brought it off Trademe, The guy also had a gte head, turbos, piping for sale but couldn't afford t all.

First attempt failed forgot to change the sump -facepalm- but now its in with the gearbox
