Its been a while since my last update, I have done some things. Interior is done Console came out nice I think Changed over to a stock 2JZGTE intake manifold I got a deal on, used the Dodo lower runners and fuel rail and I really like how it came out. I can fit the stock brake booster with...

It was a Gen 1 unit from a CRV. I got a gen 2 unit at first but did not think it would fit right with my setup since its a little larger and round. I may have the adapter plate I made somewhere around here, hopefully I didn't toss it with the I-booster can't remember. The gen 1 ibooster from...

Got it, missed the 12 tooth part. Haven't come across a gear for 30:12 yet which would be good for 35s. 31:12 is probably more right for 33s. Let me know if you do find a 30:12 tooth or I may just get the same 31:12 tooth everyone is using and call it close enough.

I did underdrive gears in the transfer case but those don't affect the speedo since it runs off the transfer case output shaft worm gear. Basically only different gears in the front and rear diffs throw off the speedo, along with of course tire diameter changes. For 35" tires and stock diffs...

Yeah stock gears in the front and rear diffs. The teeth on the speedo wheel were just a hair too short on the 30 tooth one I listed above, stopped working when they wore down some. If someone can find or make the right diameter 30 tooth wheel it does correct for 35s perfect with stock diff gears.

Ha! I'm just now realizing the starion is rwd so you wouldn't use an ax15 which is for 4x4. You would want to use an r154 or similar. T56 is a great choice that can hold more power but is also more expensive.

Good question and neat swap! The transmission was a brand new Aisin AX15 unit. I used the 1jz/r154 bellhousing but instead of going with the factory 1jz pull setup I converted to a push clutch setup for ease and more clutch options. You could also keep the factory 1jz pull setup but you would...

Thanks!! finally took a few engine bay pictures. Now I need to drive it some more while the weather is good. GM hydro-boost unit and Wilwood aluminum tandem master cylinder w/1" bore Can see the AC lines mounted at top of radiator from compressor to both firewall and condenser

Been a while since I updated this thread. Been working on the Supra Cruiser slowly. The electronic brake booster seemed like a good idea, but somehow I didn't seem to have the braking power I thought it should have for that sort of setup. I ended up swapping the whole thing out for a GM...

Update 1/2025 The diameter is a little smaller apparently and the speedo stopped working randomly after a while. Put the stock gear back in and it works fine now. So probably will just keep the stock gear and get the speedo correction box. ----------------------------- Just wanted to add to...

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...
