Loving the video man. I know exactly what you're talking about with the cel I hate starting at them thats why I'm glad mine is off with my set up. You should get a spare more and do a simple rod and piston set up just to have something that can hold more power.
Thanks bro, I’ve thought about 2gr swapping but I’m too stubborn lol, plus I really don’t have the resources available to experiment with fabbing up new mounts right now lol
I just got the same car and I plan on having a similar build but with out the turbo and I’m currently saving up for a new paint job, window tints, and lights for under glow. Plan on going through your videos and looking at some things I can put on my car
Heard duty station figured you were military. Served in the 90s to early 2000s, miss it as I get older. Mad respect on your mod skills. Sucks on the rusted cylinder. Curious how hard it would be to go to a more modern V6 from a later Camry. Not fully knowledgeable on the engine designations with Toyota outside of mine.
Yesirr I’m active, thank you for your service family🙏🏼 If you look up 2GR swapped Camry/solara on Facebook you’ll find Ivan’s 2GR Swapped Solara He just recently dropped it in a few months ago and he’s currently working out the kinks. It’s pretty nice he spent a lot of time on it
It’s an srk125h hub but it won’t fit the clock spring so you have to manually disengage the turn signals and also mount a button somewhere for the horn
All of it is deleted, there’s no vacuum manifold installed anymore All that runs the EVAP system and egr stuff which I got rid of lol, everything’s capped off
Been waiting on a new vid I have a 2000 solara sle. If you don’t mind my asking what internals have you upgraded and how much have you spent on the engine ?
I'm just starting with e85 from jump and a MAPECU3. Injectors already purchased. Boost will be limited to 10-11psi until i build the bottom end. Will start with 4psi, then 8 when i'm more comfortable.@@drivenbylew3030
bro u inspiring me to do a auto to manual trans swap on my 99 Solora then turbo it like the way you did it how much did everything cost so that I know how much I'm looking to spend also I was thinking of changing my solora from FWD to either RWD or AWD but I know it's gonna be a lot of work nd money but hopefully Ima do the same on what u did to your solora she's super clean !!
Hell yeah bro it’s hard to put a price on everything since I did the transmission swap at a shop but it’s easy enough to diy if you know what you’re doing Altogether I’ve probably got 10k invested in just parts with the majority of that (around $4500) coming from the turbo kit Labor brings the bill up to a number I’ve lost track of and would prefer not to know lol Check out boostedlara on instagram, he’s currently 2JZ swapping his Solara.

For your fuel return style setup, was your vehicle internally regulated? I have how to setup the fuel system from the fuel pump forward. I was curious how do you ditch the internal bypass?
The oem regulator is attached to the fuel pump assembly by a couple screws and if I remember correctly it sits where I plugged my return port I just drilled a hole for the new return line to flow into My setup isn’t the best for high power but it gets the job done. I’m going to make return style rails eventually and ditch the dead head system on my next setup
IMHO, pressure causes the fuel to flow, so i felt your setup was just fine. The pressure beyond the regulator will be whatever you set it to and will be equal in both lines due to the large diameter of fuel line you used.@@drivenbylew3030
@@dennisrobinson8008 yeah but according to my old tuner there were issues regarding fuel delivery since it wasn’t the normal return style system I’ve read up on old LS forums since I know some of those guys run dead head systems and they seem to be fine in lower to mid range power applications but I figured I would avoid any issues down the road by just tapping the other end of my fuel rails to eliminate that They do make return style rails for the 1MZ they’re just rare.

thing sound absolutely amazing. also I really love that valve cover paint color, god i cant wait to hear this thing at high rpms
Thanks bro🙏🏼🙏🏼 in due time
I tried my best to match the paint with that fuel pressure regulator lol
I have been looking for a TRD Solara for a while now, looks good
Thank you🤝🏼

Always good to see more content 👍

Thank you UA-cam for showing me this hones man and his baller build
🤝🏼🤝🏼🤝🏼
Perfect timing I just became a subscriber 🚦🔥
Hell yeah bro🤝🏼 Preciate it
@@drivenbylew3030 I just bought one of these bro same one and definitely using your videos for insight and tips💯
Good to see you back on the grind !
For sure man 🤙🏼 Preciate it
🔥
Oh snap...mans turbosnailed the Solara, i definitely have to see this rip 💪🏾💯
Yesirr, eventually I’ll have her ready to rip again, predicting by next summer depending where work takes me this year
you could very easily hollow out the rear of the headlight and run a stubby filter.
Yeah one of these days I’m gonna grab a spare driver headlight from the yard and hollow it out for some trips to Mexico lol
Watching your video makes me want to buy one
They’re great cars bro

Yeah It’s not going to take much to build a reliable setup honestly
Car looks good bro
Thank you🙏🏼
Good to see it back, man! I was starting to worry lol. btw it sounds great. any thoughts on 3S-GTE swap? I've thought about it for mine one day.
Thanks bro, I’ve thought about 2gr swapping but I’m too stubborn lol, plus I really don’t have the resources available to experiment with fabbing up new mounts right now lol

Awesome bro, my Walkaround video from last year was just about where my car peaked while it was NA, minus the diffuser, in my opinion
❤bruh
Welcome back bro motivation
Preciate it bro🙏🏼
well done man, glad to see er back, who did your turbo manifold by the way?
Thanks bro, the exhaust manifolds are megan headers but everything else was done by DFW Fabrication Shop in Haltom City, TX
how did you get the turbo set up was it mostly fab or a kit?
🔥🔥🔥

Nice car man. Is the clutch engagement adjustable on these. I picked one up a few weeks ago and my foot has to hit the floor to get a clean shift.
Thanks bro🤝🏼 Yeah there is an adjustment bolt on the clutch pedal itself. It doesn’t offer much wiggle room but it helps. I’ve got mine maxed out lol
Bro this is nasty. I’m starting to build mine that I just got
Preciate it bro, best of luck to you
Bro I need steering wheel info.. dope build tho.. no one can give me good info for aftermarket steering wheel.
It’s an srk125h hub but it won’t fit the clock spring so you have to manually disengage the turn signals and also mount a button somewhere for the horn
My favorite solara ❤️
Thank you🙏🏼
their is space tn the right fenderwell for an air filter on my 2002 i built a custom cold air intake for it
Yeah the 99-01’s do too they have an air box built in to the fender well that draws in air
This thing is sick wish my camry was a 5 speed
What year Camry do you have?
@@drivenbylew3030 2000 ive been looking everywhere for a e153 trans but cant find any
Appreciate the updates. Where does the purge solenoid and four vacuum lines on the stock airbox go with your setup?
All of it is deleted, there’s no vacuum manifold installed anymore
All that runs the EVAP system and egr stuff which I got rid of lol, everything’s capped off
@@drivenbylew3030 onderstood. Your on haltech no stock ecu.
@@dennisrobinson8008 yesirrr
I was gonna take my CEL light out because of my egr delete lol i hate it too
It’s actually an eye sore 🤣🤣 and every time I’d post, without fail, SOMEBODY would slide up like “that CEL tho” like bro Shutup 💀💀💀💀
Been waiting on a new vid I have a 2000 solara sle. If you don’t mind my asking what internals have you upgraded and how much have you spent on the engine ?
Rn the engine is bone stock, but I’m currently in contact with a machine shop to start work on a built 1MZ. Not sure how much it’ll cost yet
I'm just starting with e85 from jump and a MAPECU3. Injectors already purchased. Boost will be limited to 10-11psi until i build the bottom end. Will start with 4psi, then 8 when i'm more comfortable.@@drivenbylew3030
the oil filter spot on the 1mzs' are terrible burned tf out of my hand hitting the header
I like to throw a couple old microfibers on the headers and radiator when I do my oil changes lol
bro u inspiring me to do a auto to manual trans swap on my 99 Solora then turbo it like the way you did it how much did everything cost so that I know how much I'm looking to spend also I was thinking of changing my solora from FWD to either RWD or AWD but I know it's gonna be a lot of work nd money but hopefully Ima do the same on what u did to your solora she's super clean !!
Hell yeah bro it’s hard to put a price on everything since I did the transmission swap at a shop but it’s easy enough to diy if you know what you’re doing
Altogether I’ve probably got 10k invested in just parts with the majority of that (around $4500) coming from the turbo kit
Labor brings the bill up to a number I’ve lost track of and would prefer not to know lol
Check out boostedlara on instagram, he’s currently 2JZ swapping his Solara. The rwd swap is already finished
need this lmao

looking for some exhaust headers for my solara any suggestions?
Megan or OBX

Gotta get lucky with headers nowadays and find them on marketplace or eBay. Sometimes on the SolaraGuy Facebook group
Whens the face reveal?
