Looking for some info - FFIM upgrade
 

Hey all, I'm at the point of a rebuild where it gets a bit tricky for me. I want to upgrade to a front routed intake manifold on a 7mgte. I can visualize what has to happen, just dont know the specifics. Can anyone give me some info as to how I re-run the throttle linkage? I think I've got everything else worked out:
1. Re-route the intercooler piping
2. Relocate the BOV to the intake piping (does the vacuum line still run to its original location atop the valve cover or is there a closer spot?)
I know there is more, those seem to be the big ones.
Do I need to relocate anything else? Also, I have upgraded my turbo set up to a racing manifold, HKS turbo w/external wastegate. Where does the vacuum line coming from the bottom of the wastegate run to?
S*^T! I've got the MK3 flu bad and need help to finish this darn project!!!
Help please.............................anyone?

As for a FFIM, I've seen them before for the 7M's. I'll see if I can snatch a pic off the web and link it in here.

Well, none of the pics I found really show much as to how the cable is ran. From what I've read though, it looks like you can use a cable from some 82-85 efi celicas. Should be 22re's, I believe.

I believe the alternator will also need to be relocated.

Yes, the alternator and in most cases the battery need to be relocated.

It doesn't matter how you run the cable... If you're unsure get a 1JZ cable and build a bracket or get a universal and cut to fit.

The BOV just needs to go before the throttle body (the closer to the throttle body the better) and it's reference needs to come from a vacuum port AFTER the throttle body.

It's best to supply the waste gate's reference line from as close to the turbo as possible. If you're running a boost controller that will sit in the middle of the line.

I personally kind of like this setup, don't have to relocate the alternator. Battery is definitely gone. Also, don't know what throttle body that is set up for with only 2 studs to mount it.http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...f_rattle/2.jpg
