Let's begin shall we...
Did the OEM TT Head Gasket and ARP Studs
Refreshed the Head, got it cleaned up along with new valve stem seals
Had the runners and flanges welded. Came out pretty good
Test fit. Runners look long but should work.
Picked up some TT valve covers cause they're more aesthetic Ended up pulling the motor to take off the upper pan rather than drilling it while the engine in the car. Timing belt/water pump all done. Oil pan drilled and sealed. Mocking up the manifolds. Engine ready to go back in soon. Did all OEM parts. New turbo manifold bolts, pigtails for the coil pack setup and some connectors. Heard these were good Dropped the motor back in. Got new motor mounts and mocked up the turbo. BW S366 .91 A/R. The turbo everyone has... Plenum was about 2 inches too long. Had to get it cut and re-welded. Annoying Cause I like things looking clean and new Somewhere along the way I got this. Trans is just a w58 for now. The clutch has been upgraded to hold 500 wheel. I plan on staying around 400ish till I upgrade the trans Working on the fuel system. Deatschwerks 630's. Injector adapters
Sounds like me... I bought mine in 2014, but swapped the motor, and haven't really started to post until recently and hopefully soon I'll make time for my build thread.
Nice build so far, I have a 150k na motor which im starting to build, did you machine the head or block before installing the gte hg? I read that MLS head gaskets need a smooth Ra to seal well.

Nah I didn't touch the head or block. Guy at the machine shop said the head was in very good condition when I brought it to him so he didn't resurface it. Only did the valve stem seals
Some more parts came in. CX Racing intercooler kit. 2.5/3 in cold side. Was for a single turbo 2jzgte. Hopefully it bolts right up with little modification 2JZGTE IACV got for $70 bucks. FPR Flange and fuel rail fittings from Drift motion Got the intake on. Throttle body, power steering relocated, fuel rail, injectors w/ev1 adapters, fpr, all installed. Oil feed line also done. She's ready to fire up soon Fuel rail and intake runners after I sprayed them

Sounds good, Ill have someone check it out then thanks!
Got the car running today! Starts but doesn't stay on cause there's no maf connected. Started on the first shot so I'm pleased to say the least. Now all's left is the intercooler, catch can setup and tt mod
Forgot about this RMR throttle body lol. Quality piece and is very aesthetic! The one I originally had was recalled but they seem to have fixed the issue and sent it back. Comes with an adapter to run the stock tps.

Nice setup thus far, question on throttle body. Which tps are you using . Ge or GTE and what rotation is the wheel
damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn son son.. why no start up vids? but overall looking good homie.. How are you going to run the intake piping with the battery right there?

Word I want to see the vids when she is done or the actual car one day. Glad you got her put together. Well done . That throttle body is a beast too
