My little project - IS200 Turbo
toxo Good luck with getting the electrical connectors, even my Toyota parts guy struggles with those. There used to be *3* books required to look up *1* connector (from its silhouette), and since they went completely digital with their parts catalogue that information is very hard to find.

Ah yes, something else. As I handed over my big pile of bits to Steve at Charlesworth, included in that was my work-in-progress gauge pod. I cringed with embarrassment as I produced it, since it looks *so* bad right now. It's basically a hacked-apart Impreza pod stuck onto a spare OEM dash tray with sellotape :o
I still think it'll look fine when finished, but unfortunately my expertise at procrastination means that it wasn't finished in time. I wanted to give them something to stick my gauges in, and I'll just have to finish it properly when I get the car back !
Edit - Stav and Gord can vouch for how bad it looks :laugh:
Update time. First the good news. My OEM exhaust manifold has been removed, the turbo manifold installed, and the turbo placed on top with the temporary adapter. The proper stainless adapter will be made up tonight.
The bad news. There don't seem to be any injector plugs with the Supra engine, that part of the wiring loom was missing, I am told. I am trying to contact the guy who sold me the engine to see if there is any of the car left (though it may have been scrapped by now). I am also waiting to hear back from Toyota/Lexus about the Altezza part number (which I imagine will have to come from Japan). Also trying to see if Steve at Silverline can help, via Stav, since he deals in these engines.
Right now the injector plug problem isn't holding anything up, there's plenty of other work to be getting on with. For instance, the wheels are off and the rear shocks are out now.
More news as I get it !

np mate, silly question steve as it's probably answered somewhere in the 30pages but what are you doing in regards to your exhaust?

Yeah thanks, I've found that. From a quick look I don't think any of them are the fuel injector connector, though I can't be 100% sure. In that equivalent diagram for the IS200, the fuel injector plug is definitely not on there, because I do know the part number for that.
