What a day!

Lots done, not many pictures.

Injector wiring & Install...check.

Airhorn & carbon fiber airbox backing plate install...check.

Coolant re-route install...check.

Valve cover & Toyota Coil On Plug install...check.

PCV & breather lines...check.


Installing the injectors correctly took forever.  I lost a lot of time due to the injector retaining clips and not understanding how they actually install.  I walked away from it many times and would come back after a while.  Very, very frustrating.  i finally figured it out, and at that point it seemed so simple.  (Edit: I spoke to Gary at TWM about this on Monday, in his words, “yeah, you and about 4,000 other people.  We should write some instructions one of these days”.  Note:  Install the clips onto the injector, then install the injector, then rotate the clip into the locking position.


Dealing with a headache all day and fighting off a cold certainly didn’t help at all either.


Still some finishing touches to do, including:
Finalize radiator install and attach hoses, fill system, etc.

Make a custom mount for the breather tank

Pressurize and test fuel system

Cobble together an intake/filter system

START IT!


That should hopefully all get done tomorrow!
