meets....

looks good an the y8 manny is gonna look dope in black when u spray it. are you useing the stock block??

Yes. First I want just a soft boost. The engine compression is 9.4:1 with stock internals.
So I can easilly boost it up to 200HP with 0,5bar (7psi). And next year I'm gonna save
money for YCP Vitara pistons and Eagle rods. Then I want to boost it up to about 300HP.
I don't want more, because it's nonsense for me. It has FWD.... and that's the biggest
problem and the reason, why I want a Soarer with 1JZ-GTE as second car.
With this engine I can do much more HP without worrying.

i saw some eg6 in the pictures, futur projects??

Hey. This is my slammed EG3. But I think I will buy an empty Coupe body from a
EJ1 or EJ2 and put everything from the EG3 in the EJ1/2. Because the EG3 is
too rusty and I can get for 100€ a EJ2 body without rust. The EG would be nice to
finish, but I don't have so much time I want to buy a Toyota Soarer or Lexus SC300/400
when my Coupe is finished and use it for a daily.

Enjoyed the thread so far.

Love the wheel paint colour too.

[DoubleU]

First I wanted the engine bay in the same blue, as the head cover.
But I don't know, if it wouldn't be too much. So I'm thinking about
another color.

I painted also the D16Z6 intake manifold black, to look how it looks.
The manifold that will come on the head, will be a D16Y8. I painted
the Z6 just for test. This is how it looks like :


First i cleaned the whole intake manifold with a oven cleaner :



Then sanded it with P600 and painted it black :

Damn this thing will be nice !! engine bay color ?

[Queef|Chief]

Looking good dude! Gonna be sick when its finished

[DoubleU]

Yeah I know... it's very slow here... but I painted my VTEC head cover.



And this is how it looks on the cylinder head :



I want to paint the whole block silver and tuck the engine bay for a clean
look. I love those wire-tucked engine bays.

I finished my school, so I have now 3 months to go to work and buy
the turbo and the other stuf i need (injectors, fmic, piping, downpipe).

Some updates.

First of all, I rolled my fenders, so my rims doesn't rub anymore :









Don't know if I should put 195 tyres on the 9J rims for some stretch.

Then I was in the netherlands and have bought some stuff
(the paint is for the Mitsubishi of my girlfriend) :



So I installed the Gold Vision 3000K bulbs. Looks fuckin' great !
But you can't see how yellow it really is on the pictures









Then I tinted my rear side windows 75% black. Don't know if I
should paint the front side windows, too. It's very nice in the summer
because it's not so hot inside :







Then 2 friends were here and we installed some coilovers in the
hatchback.
