i realize that i have another steel line hanging in my engine bay for the the vacuum so i used that instead so i dont have to add another hose again

so im done putting it back


tomorrow i will be adding another fuel pump so it could feed my 1000cc rc injectors

update april 14th i picked up my 1 piece custom driveshaft today

installed fits perfect and driveshaft is done


i found a conquest turbo and took the oil cooler
from the junkyard its 13 row i decided to use this not the rx7 cause its too long it would be hard to fit it in my levin front end plus its oem the lexus v8 only has 5 row i think

added a fan to cool more

i also put a cushion so it wouldnt vibrate at the back and at the bottom

looks like factory install clean and simple also bought new hoses


and once again i finished the oil cooler

i made a cover for my shifter so loud inside

too much holes he he so i decided to do a clean one

test fit perfect

painted it

and done
