Little write up on the evolution of my car
Had to cut away a bit of the front but will replace it once i know the final position of the intercooler, ignore the wood that will be replaced by the new custom slam panel i'll make up. Its just to hold the cooler in place:

Also extended my spare fuse box wires and fitted it in the glove box. Just need to cut the one in the engine bay out and rejoin the wires.
Found a great place for the swirl pot as well so now know the dimensions that needed to be so i can get it made up.

Wanted to take the fan unit out to remove the air con radiator part, had to take all the fan unit out and the strengthening bar to get to it.
Removed all the sound deadening from behind the engine and the abs unit going to polish it all up behind there, also decided I'm taking another wiring plunge and I'm going to re run all the wiring behind the engine to inside to tidy the engine bay.

And the rad and intercooler are mocked up ready to fit once I can weld a couple of bits back into the headlight top supports to hold them.

Hello stav just a quick question do you run the std knock sensors on the engine or did you change them? if so did you put one on or two?

But I'm also adding a third Bosch type one this year to go to the ecu for closed loop knock protection.

im currently running the 1g-fe turbo in my is200 but its not too healthy,
how much did you have to change or source to get the 1g-gte in there? as i have also herd you can swap internals from the 1g-gte bottom end into the 1g-fe bottom end,
cheers mate.
ps: your ride is insane.... i wish we had this sort of commitment in Australia....

If you've got a turbo is200 your in the right place. We've got a few on here and a few more being built.
Yes the gte bottom ends will fit straight into the fe to allow you to turn up the boost. Search for rabsters is200 that's exactly that.
What's not well with your car?
Dont think you can put the gte in yours in Oz because it's an older engine than the car?

Done all the wiring for the passenger side of the fuse box, just the wires that run along the bulkhead and the last few from the drivers side to move and the engine bay will be a lot tidier

The engine wiring will come through where the aircon pipes normally come through on a multiplug so they can easily be removed and are well hidden.
Still got a lot of the interior to do lol
Also fitted the new cam covers. Their 1ggeu ones so slightly different to the ones I post a picture of in the other thread but still look better.
I just need to trim down the breather and join then together neatly.

Started making the new coil cover as well, with the Scooby coils I'm using the cover will completely hide them so the only wiring visible at all should be the injectors and they'll be well hidden and tidy.
