My LS1 w/T56 JZX90 Toyota Chaser Drift Car build My LS1 JZX90 Toyota Chaser Drift Car build from Edmonton Alberta Canada
Well I’ve been working on this car since September 2011, below is a picture of my 1992 Toyota Chaser that I drove in the Drift Mania Canadian Championships West Pro Division from 2009 to 2011. It had around 420whp at 18psi out of a 1JZ-GTE inline 6 cylinder with a HKS GT3037s single turbo set up.
At the link below there is some more pictures, and a link to my year end video:

Unfortunately I had a major accident with a 04 GTO in September 2011
Later that week I tracked down another Toyota Chaser, but this one was auto, and had a non turbo junk inline 6 cylinder motor. But got it for CHEAP.
My original plan was to pull my 1JZ and pop it into this car, so I pulled it out and ended up selling it.
So I stripped the car down and took all the parts that I needed, kept them as they are rare cars in North America, and tossed out all the wrecked stuff.
Got the new car into the garage, stripped out the interior, pulled the junk factory motor out getting it prepped for the swap and the roll cage
Installed my sub frame from my blue Chaser with a 2way differential, SerialNine solid mount sub frame bushings, Weld diff bushings, Project Mu e-brake shoes.
Installed my aftermarket tie rods, modified steering knuckles, coilovers, and MKIV Supra front brakes

Got my 6 point roll cage installed
Painted my interior and roll cage
Ordered up my motor from Cleveland Pick A Part, they were very helpful with sourcing a GTO front sump motor and transmission set, and helping me get everything cleared through customs to Canada.
Test fit the motor for clearance, and fit just perfect! Except for the transmission tunnel, we needed to modify it a bit.
Started to build a new transmission tunnel
Got the motor all mounted with some custom engine and transmission mounts we built
Transmission mount, mocked up
My Vertex Aero kit showed up from my Sponsor Vertex USA, that will get put on during paint in May
Gutted out the air box so I just have defrost on full power and nothing else, then reinstalled my dash into the car
Got a custom one piece drive shaft made up

Started my Painless rewire of the car, getting it to work off of my factory switches for signals, lights, wipers, etc.
New clutch rated for up to 700hp thanks to Clutch Masters!
All of my Clarion gear for my car and tow vehicle and my WIREZ wiring showed up. Love my Sponsors!!!! Thanks Clarion.
Installed a Wilwood clutch master off the factory pedal assembly
Remote reservoir
Pedals
Sent the car out for custom headers, and while it was out I took my old dash and built my center console and gauge cluster
Custom headers!
Passenger side is one piece, and driver side is 6 piece, right now they are out getting ceramic coated
Trunk power kill wiring
Wirez power distros
And mounted my Mishimoto radiator, thanks to Mishimoto for the radiator too!!! I will be getting new hoses for it.
Enjoy, more posts to come!

For the power steering, all I'm doing is new lines with the factory power steering cooler and then my modified tie rods (inner and outers), modified knuckles, and modified lower control arms.
As for the motor, just keeping stock for now, with all the bolt ons, headers, intake, light weigh flywheel, and a custom tune. Next year will be a heads, cam package

Time for a small update.
Made my Autometer dash cluster, with a quick connect plug
Got the headers ceramic coated
Built the center dash panel, for my Clarion Navi deck (in race car yes),
Rolled the fenders, and test fit my kit getting ready for paint
BLUE!!!!
My Vertex Kit is painted now, with some spare factory bumpers
Got some power steering lines made up
Fuel lines and fuel pressure reg
Heater lines
Installed my modified knuckles, lower control arms, and tie rods
Way more angle now!
Hope to have running later on this week or next,
