Hey Folks,
After a few swearwords and alot of buggering around I have got the truck ready to head to the exhaust shop!
I had to change a bunch of things but the main part was the oil filter assembly.. I used the cooler from my origional setup and the oil filter body from the 4jg2 setup. Then I had to make a plate with a seat for the seal. Had to use a lathe for that lid.

The main bolt that holds it all together was too long so this needed the thread extended then the excess length cut off- Used a large die with plenty of cutting fluid!

Next came the issue of the hoses to and from the oil cooler - they would have pointed into the dump pipe so I cut these so that they pointed straight up and flared them out.

The pipe work that runs between the firewall and back of the engine for the oil cooler had a inline thermostat in it.... this got in the way and seemed unnecessary so it has been remove (pictured below the pipes for the oil cooler).

All seems to be running fine so I will book it in for an exhaust this week and then I can start playing with the boost and fuel screw!
Cant wait!!
