The Aem is a good choice but an expensive one although you would be happy with it. I think that intercooler is good for now but if you are thinking of more boost later on you will regret you didn't bought one better. Don't rush out and do think before you act. Getting the right parts now is an investment for the future and you would not regret the time spent for research! Good luck! |

The AEM UEGO is a hunk of crap but im sure it will integrate well with the AEM FIC which is always a plus. Parmas, I doubt he will build his car to handle extreme boost, that FMIC will do him good for any boost he needs to push on that turbo.
Oversizing the intercooler and piping for it, and for exhaust in the car is a common mistake alot of people make. |

Just personal opinion. I've installed Zeitronix, AEM, Innovate LC1 and the Innovate LM-1 is my favorite so far.

There is no LM-1 on the Innovate website, unless i just missed it. Can you point us at the product please?

They just recently updated it to the LM-2

Good day today. I got my intercooler and pipe kits,bov,oil feed and water line kit. Also recieved 1zz injectors from a used 99 corolla. Took some pics as I am just starting to mount intercooler. Looks like I may need to ditch my fog lights as they might interfere with piping.

So you pretty much have the piping done, I'm assuming you're doing the manifold and turbo last-ish? Funny, because I was going to start from the manifold and work my way through.
Either way, your setup is coming along nicely. ALSO, lemme know how the 1ZZ injectors go for you. I'm having a hell of a time with mine currently. |

Whats the issue you are having with the injectors? I know a user shaved part of his head? or something to get them to fit easier? I still never seen the intercooler bolted to anything? Don't just let it free hang....
BTW you are a machine with getting things done, remind me of myself. I go into my shop today and spend 5hrs and i just gotta put my engine back in my car. The more organized the quicker you can go through things! |

I/C is bolted tight, top and bottom. Bumper bar is some crazy hard steel. Dulled about six drill bits getting through. I even went out and bought the best carbid bit I could find and that bumper steel trashed it after drilling one hole. Very frustrsting, but finished with that!

nice!, yeah in most instances its easier to drill a pilot hole then use a stepper bit with some type of oil to cut through the steel easier. Or atleast start small and go up gradually in drill bit sizes. I've had to drill 1/2 holes through two inch thick metal with a hand drill because the drill press wasnt powerful enough. I am sure you had the drill kick back at you a few times :P

More work today. More pictures. Piping intercooler to turbo. And Turbo intake to air filter/mass air. I think because of space constrants and wanting to keep the intake tract as free flowing as possible. I will not be able to use the stock air box. It just takes up to much space. I cant wait to drive this thing already!!!!
