Do you have the all metal VVT lines or the metal/rubber VVT lines?

Need to tweak, need to raise bracket some 3 to 4 mm. to get a good orientation.

I love this build.. Thanks for sharing it with us.

@floordauto
It is a bracket and its finalized.

its not pretty, but does the job, as for measures there are none, it was made trial an error.

this bracket allows the oem mount of the 2GR to mount in the Celica, using the stock GT holes.
this took 7 hours to build.

The custom stuff is always the hardest. Good work
Is that going to be strong enough?

it actually just supports in the tall spots, the rest is just to mount to chassis. used 1/4 inch steel in the lumps...

pickle pickle, exhaust and headers will be a problem. not enough space to route a exhaust pipe... gonna have to get creative...

Clearly the solution is header mufflers.

What is the pedal for? I may have missed something! And I was thinking you could do throttle bodies through the hood! Hahahaha!
Nice work dude! progress is coming along with great successes!
thanks. 2grfes dont use cable throttles. they are drive by wire and use a specific pedal..
