Got the rear seats done, not too difficult as far as rear seats go. Center console arm rest thing is back in with the seat heater switches that just plug in which is nice. Still need to do the front seats and will install heater pads at the same time and connect to the stock heater switch...

Snapped a picture of the modified front driveshaft. Was shortened previously and had a new double cardan spicer joint installed, now vibration free. Need to break in the clutch, have a few hundred miles to go before I can lay into the boost. It does want to go into boost very easily though...

I used to have a turbo sc300 for many years which I had tuned on the same type of aem v1 ecu, it was around 450 rwhp which is what I am looking for on this build except all wheel horsepower this time. My old tune should be pretty close, should just have to make small tweaks for the different...

The less I have to clean the floor the better. This LC doesn't drip anything since the swap, but it seems like there is always a little dirt that falls down every time I remove something new so they are usually just on the floor and I slide them where I work out of habbit lol.

The engine is from a mk4 supra non turbo, which has the same rear sump oil pan setup as the sc300. In reality it is more of a rear/mid sump than the traditional rear sump. There is no oem option that is more rearward than the SC/Supra. The only thing that changed over the years with the rear...

I didn't want to delete the LSPV entirely, so I opted to raise it up to match the 4" lift. Instead of a bracket extension I welded a longer threaded rod on, that way it is fully adjustable from stock to 4+ inches of lift Manual LHD console from Delta, it's ok I don't need 2 kidneys =)...

Got a lot more work done on the Supra Cruiser and have been driving it around some to start breaking in the clutch and sorting any small issues. Will try to update it more as its happening in real time, but since the last post here is the big stuff that has gotten finished. It's a shame the...

The goal is to get close ft/lb wise but overall I think it should feel more torque-y than stock. The engine and transmission weigh a lot less, and the 5spd gearing is better 1st is 3.83 on the ax15 and stock 4spd auto is 2.95 so that makes a big difference moving things from a stop. I'll try...

I decided to adapt a new oem brake master cylinder to the ibooster unit instead of using the the donor brake cylinder as originally planned, this way all the lines can stay oem with just a couple slight bends. So the only thing different than stock is electronic booster versus vacuum booster...

Been a while since the last update and made some progress. Got the pedal trimmed and linked up to the I booster unit. Got more things mounted and hooked up, went with a Precision 6262 turbo after a lot of back and forth. The old radiator was starting to go so I went with an aluminum...

Sold!!

So I got the Valve covers resprayed and accessories back on, think it's looking pretty good so far. It looks so short compared to the 1FZ in there, but the intake and turbo will help with that later =) Been on to the wiring portion for a bit. Noticed something interesting about the 80 series...

Thanks! Dropped the price to 39.5k obo. Someone needs a manual 100 series!

Thanks, That's the side with the steering arm and drag link connected so I figured I will sleep better at night with a new knuckle lol. Thanks really appreciate it! Haha I didn't realize that, I could change it to Supra Cruiser if that one isn't taken =) Thanks!! I should get some more pics...

Yeah it is getting tougher to find good condition 2uzs, I would try and find a running one if you can or one that hasn't been sitting. I didn't take it to a machine shop I just found a really good condition replacement and cleaned it all up with new gaskets and parts. I prefer to find a good...
