I don't want to be negative, but single shear on those hiems won't handle 8 second launches.

I am curious though, were you able to keep the pedals 100% stock? I'm planning something similar and that's one of my bigger concerns. Everything else is just cutting and welding.

Love the idea but that rear end will rip that sub floor in no time man. You need to spread the load out properly

I didnt take that negatively, But the hiems on those links will take the beating just fine for what I need it to do for NOW. Its very easy to add more support so that is not my big deal. First off the bat I just want it to run and run good, then I will cage it and more MORE more support then turn the boost up from there on. As the power changes, The car will change along with it to make up for it.

the petals were not touch at all, I made it so everything was in place, didn't want to redo those.

Already started her up today ) will post info below.

This is ******* awesome!! Keep up the amazing work. On me some specs on that tegra of yours if ya would kind sir.
I can, but which one, lol, also have another 500hp one not in picture.

i salute U respect
Thank you sir.

No. Just love cars that's all. If I was "Ballin" I would not be doing this instead paying someone to do it for me.

EVERYTHING will be nicely sheet metal all up when all said and done. Anything and everything will be setup REAL nice when it's time to do it. i'll provide pictures as I go.

lol, I so agree with you on your post, that's not even a lie.

Thank you for the comment

they are underdogs. Many MANY people are now turning there cyl to these engines now(1uz, 2uz) I myself have plent of 1jz and 2jz swap and the only reason I would do another jz swap is to save money and time. When I mean but money, less parts needed, easy to find parts etc etc.

Very Nice Build,Congrats.
Thank you very much.

OKKK DAY 6

Today was a very late start for me, only got a few hours in as I had to go out of town. But anyways sorry no pictures today, just didn't have the time. BUT, she starts


all wiring done, drive shaft in, and she started today open headers, I wont be able to drive it untill I get the turbos on and open her up on boost.

Guys, I just want to say please dont worry about the rear end setup, It wont be like that for long, As soon as the car progress, the car will also remodel. also it will get ALL CLEAN UP, I mean clean, wont be sh&&it like that in the pictures, it's just too much dust and stuff around it. RIGHT now im just focus on getting it done to drive, NOT to go all ***** to the walls just yet. So please PLEASE understand. Tomm is the goal to drive her open head out the shop, I was going to do that today but got caught up doing something else. So, stay tune.

Man, don't rush things.

Your rear-end setup has some SERIOUS problems.
In addition to the whole setup needing to be much beefier, and all the heims double-shear, the upper links need to be MUCH higher at both ends.
Also, the upper links should not be longer than the lowers.
The way it is, the rear is going to twist a LOT as the suspension moves, causing DRASTIC pinion angle changes.
Also, with the upper mounts on the housing that low, the forces on the links will be extreme. The rearend will just have way too much leverage on the linkage.

Good luck with your build, just slow down, get some engineering help, and do it SAFE and RIGHT.

I'd just like to let you know i hate you sooooo much with my black heart. <3 Awesome build! Since i used the word h8 we should be seeing a progress report soon. =P

I'm really interested in what rear end you used, and how it's actually bolted into the frame. I see the massive end links which i take it is used for alignment issues.
