Needed somthing with shorter runners and that woudl fit my engine compartment a bit better. So I loped of 70% of the stock intake and welded a big ol aluminum pipe to it.
Motor is a Toyota 2.4 twincam 16v 2rz, car is a 82 Toyota starlet.
I also got started on the exhaust manifold.







And here is the car. All work done to it at home

Looking good Randy, can't wait to see it at the track this summer

 

skills.

 

Not sure if you could even notice, but that is a different motor from when you seen the car last.
Decided to bump up performance a little from the get go.

I just noticed that. I was like wtf thats a weird 3tc wait it's on the wrong side. lol so what engine is that? the polishing came out pretty good.

 

It is a 2rz from a 2wd toyota tacoma. 2.4l twin cam 16valve. There are pro rwd imports running this motor 2rz/3rz with stock cranks, stock cylinder walls, stock main caps making 1200+hp. I'll be happy with 600 Got Pauter rods and arias pistons on the way. I still have to add the fuel rail when it gets here. The stock rail and injectors are in the head so they are staying. And I am going to add a second set of 4 big ones for under boost. Or atleast that is my hopes as of now. I have a megasquirt2 setup, but as this progresses I might end up going with something a bit more refined. Not sure yet.
