Truck is not actually comming infor a couple of weeks , but I wanted to get going on the mods to the engine . found a good used "kit" with 120 Kelometers on it started with the clutch .. NEW complete kit OLD and NEW also .. did the timing belt , water pump , tensioner and Idlers .

I think I'm going to start selling the "cross over pipe - pieces " .. for the "do-it-yourselfer"
both times now , I have had issues/excuses with the exhaust shop .. and it has taken me hours and hours to get it done
This time .. I had a bunch more sets bent up , exactly as you see (as I have 3 more installs in the shop) I think It would save a bunch of time for people ..

so continued with the "prep" with Davids parts .. because the 5VZ requires extra height , we "opt" for a hood scoop instead of a body lift . This is a www.toyotafiberglass.com exclusive part , and as well fits the 5vz supercharged "cut out " necessary to fit . here's how we install it .. First the scoop has the studs imbedded , so a template is necessary .. a sheet of "art" paper from your local office supply store will sufice .. Be sure to mark it .. so you know which end is up now with your "template" .. you can measure , and mark your install there are a few different positions you can set this at , so .. this one is where we want it .. With that in mind .. time to drill Take your time on this .. the metal hood skin is thin , and will dent really easily . depending on your location .. you will have to "open" up holes on the structural braces undernieth .. and to open it up for a "functual vent" .. we suggest cutting between the supports .. will show this on a latter post . install , and tighten bolts .. .

Nice build! What transmission are you using? Does it work with the stock t-case and/or dual cases?
