Custom (all stainless steel) Turbo Piping and Exhaust

The car just came back to the workshop after 4 days at Puchong for piping work. Custom all stainless steel turbo piping and to install custom 3 inches turbo back exhaust . I'm still in Terengganu and cannot wait to see the works on the car. 

Still need to source a radiator and fans before the wiring work can begin..and I have forgot to take the photo of the exhaust ;) will try to post it later. 

The engine (1JZ) mounted nicely.

Waiting for intercooler piping and custom 3 inches exhaust. The stainless steel is chosen for the piping/exhaust material instead of alloys because of its better welded and looks much nicer. It does weight more though :) 

I've need to sourced for a new clutches as the one from the halfcut is worn. A set of timing belt, a pair of engine mounts, K&N filter,larger intercooler & EVO IV radiator tanks and fan set. 

The R154 manual box needs lubricant change,semi synthetic engine oil, spark plugs & etc. 

It does starting to looks nice inside the yellow engine bay. Perhaps sandblasting parts will do much more wonder  (sure. It is for later ;) )

Toyota Chaser 1JZ GTE VVTI Turbo 2.5l with manual transmission (halfcut)

Toyota Chaser halfcut 1JZ GTE VVTi 5 speed R154 manual transmission for the transplant project. This is a JDM engined made for Japanese market. It usually used to powered Supra, Soared, Chaser and Mark model. Only manage to find 2 manual transmission(R154) 1JZ GTE VVTI halfcut in the whole lembah kelang.

Most of the halfcut for sale is the one with Auto Tranny. i'm opting for 1JZ with manual box because of the need for better control and it is way much more fun. 

W124 with original E220 engine.

My project for months August-Oktober 2013 is to transplant 1JZ GTE VVTI turbo with manual transmission from Toyota Chaser  to my W124 E220. With the new power plant it will come with 280bhp (stock) and monstrous torque at lower engine revolutions. 

This transplant project will be done by Mr Wizan and the group at Seri Kembangan.
