I kept it FWD. Went to take a crack at doing the wiring conversion. Than, I realize, shoot, this is out of my league. |

I know in previous swaps allegedly there's not enough room for a true dual.

Now once I go twin turbo then yeah  . I kid never doing that. This car was never supposed to be a project. I'm building an 90 Alltrac and if my motor never blew this was never even considered, but things went from bad to worse and I had to do something. A decent replacement 5S-FE with full rebuild would have been is the same ballpark as a 1MZ-FE straight swap with no rebuild. So I went for more HP and blew the budget

Dual 2" would work well, considering the ES300 had single 2.25" piping.
