I just wanted to say thanks to www.maperformance.com for all of the help and service they have given me so far on this car. They have helped me order all of that parts and wonderful deals. Even know they do not yet have Toyota on their website, I just called them up with what I need or a part number and they get for me at awesome prices! MAP will be the main supplier for all of the parts I need and also the service for the car like rebuilding the motor as well.

Well a buddy and I started taking the power plant out of this thing and I tell you this is a bunch of crap literally. This is quite different then the DSM's I am used to. I'm going to put all of the useless garbage in a 55 gallon garbage can and see how much shit was not needed and the weight savings of it all too. We worked on it for at least 5-6 hours and I would say have it half to 3/4 out.

I also ordered custom made CP 9.5:1 compression pistons

Thanks MAP. The engine is going to WWW.MAPERFORMANCE.COM to be torn down, machined, bored over, looked at, this and that, and re-assembled.

The next steps are to actually get the engine out, bring it to MAP, tear all of the stuff off and out of the car for a full paint job, order cams, valves, springs and retainers, gaskets, turbo, manifold, tuning software of choice, piping for a custom 3" intercooler and 3.5" exhaust setup, tires... ok Im stopping right there because I can already see this thing costing me but it will be worth it. Photos of progress to follow.

Well some updates here. The motor was out and taken apart from the tranny and all of the other goodies off of it so it was a bare long block. I brought it into MAP for it to be hot tanked, machined, and assembled. The first thing that they is doing to it is tearing it all apart which I think is already done. Getting it ready for the machining and assembly of the short block is next on the list. Some more decisions as far as parts go and a little more $ and Ill be able to start into the head.

The block will be built with Manley Turbo-Tough rods. It will also have CP custom ordered 9.5:1 compression pistons, ARP main studs, and all ACL race main and rod bearings as well as thrust washers.

I am trying to figure out when my choice of a 6765 journal bearing Precision turbo will spool on my setup so I can figure out the best torque converter for the street and strip where I do not have to use n02 to spool.

I got in my custom CP pistons from www.maperformance.com which went really smoothly. They were custom spec 9.5:1 compression ratio CP pistons. I also decided not to go with the Crower rods I have and to instead go with Manley Turbo-Tough rods which will handle my goal of building the motor.

Also the pistons are in tor process of getting 3 different coatings applied to them and can't wait for photos from them! Rods will be here soon too.
