Starting the SAS...

So, I had to chop my exhaust manifold collector, due to the fact that it basically dumped right into the firewall, making it very difficult to install the flange and the cat...
Just welded a new 3" collector on it and re-angled it to face more down. hopefully that fixes the problem, so i can put my trans in already. More pics tomorrow...

Heres the revised exhaust manifold, that goes right to 3" after the merge.
Thats about it for now, gotta finish the clutch slave, VSV, some wiring and this thing should be running before next week, hoping....

well, not quite a gangsta. the damn thing wont shift and I'm over for the weekend. This clutch is being stupid, or I was stupid when I put the stupid thing in. So for now, fudge yourself.

Man oh man i never thought that there could be such a positive gain over the old 3VZ. Its a night and day difference in power with 4.11 R&P and just 33's. Even though i'm running way too rich and it stumbles on certain held throttle positions, I am very pleased. Got my gauges hooked up and am working on the speedo...More pics and videos, sorry been going at this runner like a mad man...

If anyone has ever ran into this where the 3.4 runs rich as hell, prolly like 10:1, cause I burned a 1/4 tank going like 10 miles to town and back. The idle is bad, good when cold, but stumbles all the time after that and bucks like it is misfiring. Huge drivability issue that is driving me nuts, and I can't get the scanner to communicate with the PCM and see what the PCM is seeing on top of all of this. AAARRGGGGGHHHHH!
any help is appreciated, thanks guys and gals
btw, i can smoke my 33's now no prob, muahahaha!

Ordered some stuff from trail queer, coilovers and longfields/dirty 30's are next. Got my 1.5"DOM .250 wall in yesterday, along with the poly joints for the axle side. Also ordered the threaded bungs to start making the links. Will get some pics up when I get all the brackets tacked on the axle and links cut. man this stuff takes forever...geesh
what do you guys think of the dirty 30's? are guys snapping them like toothpicks?

Longfields are in and boy are they sexy, got the 2x4 tube in for bumper and tranny/ 3-link crossmember. Hysteer tie rod and drag link are cut, waiting for thread bungs. 5th stud brace on knuckle is done and the only bracket I have left to do on the axle is the panhard rod. Still Fabbing the brackets on the crossmember for the heim joints. Pics by this weekend, been spread a little too thin recently....
