Almost there man. Good job getting the intake welded. Definitely the best way to eliminate pain in the butt boostleaks.

Since you have to weld the greddy intake to the lower runners could i use my 2jzge lower runner and weld it to the greddy intake? Or do the ports don't line up that way?

I'm not sure on that one. The intake plenum I had came with an adapter for the lower runners. You don't "have" to weld it, but I've been told you should in order to have a proper seal. I don't know if the lower GE runners are the same. Sorry.

So progress has slowed drastically due to me getting married and moving, but here's a few updated pics.

Man just looking at the pics I could tell that was a pita smh more power to you cause I don't think my small case of ADD would allow me to be patient enough to put all that back together

Most is staying out. All the wiring in the last pic is from the abs, track, speakers, amp, disk player, power antenna, and car phone.

Oh the wires. What a pain. Probably one the most time consuming pieces to any build. Glad your making it nice and clean. Keep up the good work

New parts. Getting closer to an engine test fit. Also, once the engine is in, I can make the wiring harness.

Default Test Fit

Clutch and Flywheel installed. Engine in the engine bay for a test fit. Have to measure and run all the lines and wires. This includes building a wiring harness. I have to route all the sensors and re-run the engine bay wires including lighting. Then I have to turn the turbo and route the charge piping. Figure out throttle cable, coolant and vacuum lines... ETC....
