Just received our runners and stacks in. Got it all just put together to snap a few pics. All the parts looks great. As long as they work half as good as they look, we will be fine lol

Angel got the intake manifold all fitted up to check clearance in the car and to determine proper TB orientation. So far fit is spot on to what we had envisioned.

Hey Ted, not much has been done except for ordering parts. The only work completed was cutting out the trunk and rear firewall and Angel fabricated the end tanks for the intercooler. We will be posting more pictures and info as we have more time. The intercooler will have a full length shroud made to help those fans pull air from the entire core. And let me say that these fans move some serious AIR.
We purchased the following:
Complete Fuel system
Two 12" SPAL fans for our intercooler
XS power Battery

We haven't posted an update for quite some time so we figured it was a good time since we are completing some of the larger parts of the project.
To start off , we purchased and began putting together our air to air intercooler setup. It is based off a Garrett core rated to handle 1260hp. Obviously airflow won't be as great as on a vehicle with a front mounted IC so the core is overbuilt to hopefully provide the cooling we are after. To move air through the core, a custom fan shroud was built to house 2 Spal 12" high performance fans. Hopefully the combination of the intercooler's size and the two quality fans drawing air through the core will be enough to keep our charge temps in check.

We also finally measured and ordered our DSS Pro Level axle setup. It uses a Porsche style inner joint and DSS's own outer joint/oversized hub. This particular kit uses a larger diameter intermediate bar, as well as a spool instead of a differential.

Also, the shifter cable/shifter box setup has already been figured out and we are in the process of ordering custom length cables from the good guys over at K-Tuned. We will post more updates as we go along.
Thanks for reading. :thumbup:

OMG I want!
I can't wait to see your finished intake manifold! I wish I had your resources and fab skills!
-
Holy hell this is an amazing build. You guys do some incredible work. That intercooler is insanely thick! Are you guys going to be running the stock engine or is that going to get built later on? there is actually a good bit of room in the back of that car!
-
Wow the best of both worlds right there Honda / Toyota thats gonna be sick
-
What an awesome build! Where are you guys located?
-
awesome build u have going here!!! i really love your intake manifold

We finally got her running and took her for her first drive. Must say it feels good to finally hear her run and drive.
Here is a quick video of the first drive:
