Yari build thread

I know how to do an oil change lol, I should've been more specific, where does the turbo oil drain back into the system on your setup?

Yesterday I had to take her to the local Toyota dealer to get a diagnosis. Flushed and ran O.E. coolant through it, found exhaust gases coming through the coolant reservoir. Head gasket's blown, not worth the $2500 when I could source a 2ZR for 1/4 of the price and get more out of it. Probably didn't put enough coolant in the radiator after swapping throttle bodies, first time doing a full coolant flush and I thought a gallon would've been enough. Found a 2014 2ZR with 44k on the clock for $950 shipped from eBay. Comes with everything needed aside from ECU, XD mounts & Accessories, but the low-mileage is sooo tempting. Plan on waiting till Monday to source an engine locally and see if I can find any under $600 under 100k ideally. Would have to do the swap myself, 1) I would prefer to learn by experience, and 2) I don't have the $ to have a shop do it.
Thank's for visiting, more coming soon!

Maybe I should have read more carefully.

Sorry to hear about your engine issues, but I suppose it sets you up for the swap.

The 44K engine would be nice. But nothing wrong with a higher mileage one. Do the engines come with intake and exhaust manifolds and/or any other accessories?

Here are a couple pics of where I put my turbo drain. This was a modification from the kit, which had the oil drain line looping under the axle. Please don't laugh too hard at my hardware store plumbing. LOL. It hasn't leaked a drop so far and it's an unpressurized line.
