Gaw, that's insane how much incredibly lighter it is than the 3SGTE.

Send me 3k for the TRD unit.
Better yet, find one for sale that doesn't need a rebuild. Yanked the timing belt tonight. Belt looks good. Hydraulic tensioner is good. Pulleys spin well. Water pump spins well with resistance from the fins. No sound of bearing failure. Consensus: replace all but the hydraulic tensioner... Because I don't want to have to do this twice... Just because it sounds and looks good now doesn't mean it will in 15k miles. I mailed out the harnesses to mr220v today. Figure i'll see it back in a couple weeks. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

Awesome. Leave it NA and build a nice ITB setup...rev it to the moon (with appropriate cams, high comp pistons, and rods of course). 8,000 RPM or nothign
 . You know how awesome that would sound.

Today was a bit productive.
I reinstalled the upper intake manifold and started rerouting vacuum lines to clean up the egr crap. After that was done I removed the upper and lower intake manifolds to expose the intake valves and the coolant line that runs underneath the lower intake manifold. Replaced that coolant line and cleaned out the intake path in the lower manifold, which was a bit dirty. To my surprise the intake valves look literally brand new! I haven't looked in on the exhaust valves yet, but I assume they'll look good as well. Pictures tomorrow. I'm going to bed.

Pictures!
Lower intake manifold with the fuel rails bolted back on. The runners were caked, and this is how it looks after a short bath in brake cleaner and a wire brush.  This is a horrible shot, but it gives a clear shot of the valve, which looks brand new. All of them look like this. I was pretty happy to see that.  And with everything cleaned up a bit.  Water pump and timing belt kit will be here tomorrow. Gaskets on Thursday. Nom nom nom. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

I would, but porting costs a nice chunk of change, and I'm not looking to spend hundreds of dollars for a small hp gain.
Probably won't have any updates for tonight or tomorrow, but this weekend I'm hoping to get the motor buttoned up and ready to install. Mr220v should be getting my harness tomorrow or Friday, so I'm hoping to have it back by next weekend. I know I have been slacking on pictures thus far, but wait until the real work gets going...

Just a quick update:
Replaced the oil pan gaskets this weekend (no1 and no2 oil pan). Wasted a whole bunch of RTV because I forgot to reinstall the oil pickup.... And I wish I could say that was the first time I've done that... Fml. I them addressed the can gears, which I cannot get off! Pb blaster, propane torch, cheater bar, nothing. I'm working on a method to remove them now so I can do head gaskets and such. Mr220v pm'ed me yesterday saying my harness is just about complete. instead of needing to drill a second hole in the trunk to bring the harness through, it will be utilizing the factory location. I hope to get that back this weekend or next week and get this swap going! -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money
