stock ecu, no fuel tuning?? the extra 20-30cc from the 86.5 pistons / .020 overbore doesnt matter? or is there any stage where you would lean out? suppose you wouldnt know either?
just asking, your engine build sounds identical to mine except i went for je pistons instead of wiseco -------------------- Mike W

I haven't had any lean situations at all. I doubt the slight overbore really matters too much in that respect. My Africa reader stays right between 13-14. The bump in compression is a nice advantage, but no I have no fuel management and running stock Ecu.

QUOTE (bsamps4 @ Apr 20, 2012 - 7:43 AM)  I just received the kirkosaurus mounts. I need to put those in to see if maybe that helps a little too. I'm planning on running ST sway bars, and the 185 links. those are great!

I re-installed my TRD 3 point bar. So here are a few pics. I also installed the Kirkosaurus mounts, and I wanted to freaking KILL myself on that rear mount! It only took me 15 minutes to do the front. I think i'm going to have to buy a new rear mount though because the two studs on the back mount miraculously stripped themselves. FML! Here are pics anyways.

I'm going to redesign a custom throttle bracket. 20 bucks shipped for anyone interested! And that rear mount can eat a d!$%!!! I can't stand the damn thing. Held me up for 3 hours the other day!

I don't think its really going to be any easier. All the steps to do it with the engine in are about the same with the engine out. Either way you look at it that rear mount will be problematic.

Got some more work today. I created a new throttle bracket for use with my TRD tower bar, re-mounted my TRD bar, and modified the back end of my car so that my exhaust would quit bumping against it. Here are some pics!

Just read this entire thread, awesome swap, super clean! Inspiration for me to get back in the garage and get my 3S into the car.
 PS: That rear mount is my least favorite thing in the whole engine bay, it blows. |

when I was putting the engine on the blue car, I spent a little over an hour trying to get that rear mount in place, gave up and went home, next day after work, went back to give it another shot and 5 minutes later it was in
 as bad as it is, I think I have it under control now, I can take it out and back in in less than 20 minutes with no issues anymore. --------------------  |

I would remove the washers from under your strut brace, If its a clearance issue, make up an alloy plate the same size as the strut tower top.........it really needs its full surface area as a contact patch.
