You can use one line and t off it.
Though I'd keep the wastegate boost line separate.

Well today i dremelled the rocker cover so the front injector plug fits so thats the injectors and fuel rail all fitted
Also had a little play with the intake manifold and throttle body this now all fits and the all the belts are now fitted so had a little bit of luck as i thought i wouldnt be able to adjust the alternator enough to tighten the belt

Put the oil pipes on the sandwich plate and routed them to the front now that was a tight squeeze to get them fitted lol also put the oil temp sensor on but im going to have to get a oil pressure senor relocation kit as there is not enough room down there!

Getting on well but space is getting smaller in that bay lol
one question down on the right behind the radiator i dont think i can get a 2.5" pipe from the intercooler lol is there a specific way?? seems like the aircon pump needs to be sacrificed lol


Jimbobs Lexus IS200 Turbo! - Sparkystav - 27-01-2021

I had aircon mate and it fitted so hopefully will fit mate

i tried to fit 2.5" pipe down but no luck though there is a lil bracket with a plug on down there so ill chase up see what that is! Oh yeah do i need to cut any out of the crash bar for the intercooler mate?

Erm all of it lol.

What diameter are the pipes I sent?


Jimbobs Lexus IS200 Turbo! - Jimbob-T-Lex - 27-01-2021

Oh right don't fit it lol 2.5" pipe mate


Jimbobs Lexus IS200 Turbo! - Sparkystav - 27-01-2021

jimbob150385 Oh right don't fit it lol 2.5" pipe mate

Hmm, I'm not sure why it doesn't fit then mate sorry, I didn't think it would be that different, though the pipes go right against the chassis leg I think.

Quick thought, you have cut out the protecting slots on the back of the fans?
