So over the past few weekends, been working on it as much as leisurely possible.

Engine is out. New fuel lines are going in. Ended up cutting them. Frustrated me trying to take them off. Since it's gonna be fixed, gonna go with a parallel setup. The FPD will be banjo'd and an aftermarket FPR will go in. I want to upgrade the injuectors but we'll see how things go financially. Might just have the old ones cleaned...for the time being.

Stupid oil cooler lines seized on me, soaked them in PB blaster for a while and still nothing. Ended up kinking the hose and twisting it so I just cut it. Will be replaced.. anyone ever use the FD oil cooler on an FC? The rad gets air after the cooler and AC so not really ideal...

Taking apart the longblock, a fair few of the lines broke so it'll be replaced with silicone hoses. Takes forever to prep an engine for a pull. First time doing it... quite proud of myself.

Installed the RTEK2.1. Supra fuel pump is sitting at home. It'll go in soon. Gonna drain that fuel tank first and get it cleaned. Engine is sitting on the stand. Disassembly started last night, Rear iron is off but stopped for the day. Needed rest.

Pics on the way.
