While we haven’t hit our presale target, sales on my sight have been strong and am now in contract for the intake adapter casting.
Initially there will be 2 samples sent to confirm quality and accuracy. If they are correct the first 2 brave souls will get their pipes.
From there a full production run will be made.
Thank you all for trusting me with with your preorders.

So the first samples of the intake adapter arrived today. The castings look great. A small issue with mounting them and a larger issue with plumbing them.
Mounting issue was from the counter bores for the hollow dowels needs to be 7/16”. I think they use a closet metric equivalent. I’ve seen similar were I spec 10mm and get a 3/8.
The second is the overall height. It’s short 1/2” which is also the flange thickness.
The really hard stuff they got right. Like the rotated 45* 3” elbow, that’s spot on.

So the mold was adjusted , casting were made and verified and full production has started. Next is machining then onto verification and finally shipping.
3-4 weeks I’m told.
3-4 weeks I’m told.
Did i miss the price?
Ok so this isn’t a complete charger kit just a pipe

I got my charger to the point where I needed an intake pipe so I’m designing for both setups at the same time.

Update: bulk QTY done. I asked that 10 pieces ship Express to fill the orders placed. The rest will arrive 30 days.
On another note, I needed to replace my engine harness and once again was faced with hacking it to pieces. Last time I cut off the connectors and soldered in wires to extend the connectors over to the throttle body.
This time after weeks of searching and configuring I've developed an extension harness to make this process plug n play They will be on my site shortly.

I have the final casting in place and fit the pipe to it. I elected to use a 3" 135* mandrel bent pipe with a CLR of 4.75". The original pipe had a CLR of 3", this new one offers less restriction but more important it takes up less room which will help me with the intercooler design.
10 Pipes are on order as well as the IAT bungs. I'm on a 2 week vacation starting this week and hope to be shipping out the intakes by the end of November.
Thank you all for your Patience .

Pre-ordered intake pipes are packed and being dropped off tomorrow at the post office.
Thank you for trusting me with your orders and helping me with this project.

Received mine today. Looks great and thank you! I'll be having a glass for you tonight @landtank

UPDATE:
About 2 years ago I started a new line of MAFs using the Newer Hitachi sensor. On the first test run to MOAB I was getting fuel trim errors for a system lean condition. So started to trouble shoot that issue and could never get things to work properly and even took what I thought was functioning Stock housings off the site.
Recently things came to a head as far as the truck goes and as some might have read I had a bad brake booster which was reeking havoc on the running of the truck.
Today I can say that the original designs using the Hitachi sensor were right all along. testing the Stock version had a LT fuel trim value of 0% and the scaled MAF running the 425cc WRX injectors had a -2% LT fuel trim. Toyota's good range is from +30% ~ -35%, so well within range. These will go live soon.
Lastly I will be ordering harnesses to wire the IAT signal from the MAF to the remote sensor in my intake air pipe. What this does is to allow the ECU to adjust fueling and timing based on the actual air temp that's entering the engine. This offers more protection from detonation and helps improve performance in hot weather.
A all encompassing kit will be offered which basically addresses all the short comings of installing the TRD SC sans inter-cooler, which will come next.
LandTank SC:
I bought another truck out of Georgia and this will be the platform for my SC. It has a bad engine which works for me. The actual SC head is done and I just need to go through the truck before installing it .
BIG brake system:
From the beginning I wanted a bigger braking system to accompany my SC. Growing up in the 70s I saw school friends die behind the wheel. It boiled down to fast cars and s***ty brakes. Today it's no were as bad as back then but I wanted something more that what we have.
In the next week or so I should have a functioning system on my truck. It will consist of willwood 14" rotors and calipers from a 200 series Land Cruiser.
Thats all for now.

Fingers crossed you might eventually make a complete OBD1 SC kit for the 93-94. 
Just to confirm, sounds like this kit will also be beneficial for anyone running an intercooler and a relocated IAT sensor?
My new pipe is installed and my @landtank MAF works great.
Looking forward to the next. Thank you Sir!
