Trev Posted March 4, 2008 Author Report Posted March 4, 2008 RWD manifold looks like new now as i took it to work and put it in the washing machine, I'm going to take a few parts in and bead blast them so i can paint them.
Trev Posted March 7, 2008 Author Report Posted March 7, 2008 (edited) I took the cam cover backing plate to work and blasted it off so i can paint it, It will be done in black crinkle coat to match the cam covers and should look good with the hks gears and a clear cover. EDIT: I forgot to mention that i have also found a RWD middle timing cover so i can eliminate the engine mount hole. Edited March 7, 2008 by Trev
Trev Posted March 12, 2008 Author Report Posted March 12, 2008 A quick pic of the inlet manifold since it had a good wash and i blasted it today, The throttle body will be getting a good clean tomorrow. (sorry bout the quality but the pic was taken with my phone as i didnt take my camera to work) Also gonna get another turbo for this well a bigger one anyway as the GT25 is going elsewhere.
Trev Posted March 14, 2008 Author Report Posted March 14, 2008 (edited) I did the cam backing plate in heat proof wrinkle coat today, Pics just don't show the quality of it, I also included a pic of it temporarily mounted with the hks gear. Edited March 14, 2008 by Trev
Trev Posted March 22, 2008 Author Report Posted March 22, 2008 The last of the cooling system has been purchased, I finally got the bypass pipe coming from the US, Those of you that don't know what one is it is the pipe that goes along the side of the block from the front to rear.

Good to see youve got one finally. This things gonna be tidy!!!!
Trev Posted March 22, 2008 Author Report Posted March 22, 2008 Good to see youve got one finally. This things gonna be tidy!!!! To be honest with you i have had the sale lined up since november last year but all the shit that happend with work i couldn't afford it, Terry and I are going to try to get a few of these available in oz as they are N/S in the oz market and it will make it easier for when people go to do the conversion. Hopefully it will go good too, All I'm basically chasing now is the RWD harmonic balancer and if i can't get one new then i will get a 2nd handie and get it repacked then the engine will be off to work to be checked over from top to bottom, Cams fitted (when i purchase them) and some slight head work.
Trev Posted April 8, 2008 Author Report Posted April 8, 2008 Thanks to Cabe toyota in California i now have a brand new water bypass pipe to suit a rwd 4age, Thats the final cooling system component i needed apart from hoses, Now to get cams and a harmonic balancer and i will take it into work and start with the build up.
Golberg Posted April 11, 2008 Report Posted April 11, 2008 Thats interesting, the LHD drive version is slightly different to the JDM RHD version. The pipe which goes to heater core doesn't come out that far on the JDM ones, otherwise its the same. Presumably its just got to do with the position of heater core in the US ones.

They are identicle apart from the heater core pipe lenght, It has about 5cm extra on it which does not matter as it still fits, I have a JDM 2nd hand one here off the boss's ae86 racecar at the moment that I'm going to take pics of just to compare the 2.
Golberg Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 I've got 2 of the rear outlet pipes myself, interestingly though it looks like one was a LHD version but it has been cut down to the same length as my RHD one because it doesn't have the notch part to stop the hose from slipping off.
