Well the way the intercooler pipe attaches on the t3 is awesome. i clocked the t3 so that i dont need to route the intercooler pipe over the hot exhaust log manifold. that also let me shorten the IC pipe by maybe 2.5ft so less lag my old route wasnt that good the heat from the manifold super heated the pipe. so this should help a bunch. now i have a few questions. if i buy an aftermarket walbr 255 high pressure pump will the stock fuel pressure regulator on the fule rail basicly nulify me even having the pump? should i get rid of it? also im going to tap the other end of the fuel raid so i have a dual feed one that way no cylinder will be sarved of fuel.

question number 2. i dont wanna take my oil pan of to tap it. before i was using the dipstick tue as a return. it worked great but i wasnt abl to check my oil so im gunna tap the pan.

heres the plan drill a hole in the pan. weld on a think washer. tap the washer. thread in pipe bam done. but my dad says the welding will possibly light the oil resin that wasnt drained totally. sooo
safe than sorry? or just try it lol.

itchy, why not grab a 3s pan off one of the guys on mr2oc.com or alltrac.net?
u can usually get em for about 50 or so shipped..

or I think its 110 new from the dealer.

If you tap the pan while on the car you have a chance of a shaving getting in your pan and then up to the cams. Play it safe. while having the pan off you could get solid motor mounts made also.

that cheap?

idk, when i was buying a 7afe oil pan to put my car back to stock for warranty work, toyota wanted $400 for the damn thing!

got it at a junkyard for $100, i didnt even try to lower the price, being that it was so much cheaper than the dealer.
