wires , cap, rotor, plugs
rear main seal
hose from hell and hose from hell on earth
valve cover gasket
injector o-rings (if needed)
t-stat
fuel filter
So, thats the basic toyota buy sheet for the time...im sure ill have more to add as i go along..lol
heres a short list of extras im planning on starting off with
spec stage 2 clutch
fidanza flywheel
ATS throttle body inlet
JDM ecu (for now..)
another 3" dp (the berk tech pipe is getting DESTROYED by the 5sfte..lmao)
twosrus valve cover bolts
ill be reusing my intercooler from the 5sfte project, should be fine, its the same intercooler art is using with his swap..
aluminum intercooler piping
walboro FP from 5sfte

the plan always WAS to swap...the 5sfte was just a step along the way...LOTS of learning to be had with the 5sfte setup.
the 5sfte setup will be sold, including motor, provided it lasts till spring when i plan to install the 3s
