i though i'd share some pics of my swap in progress...
Here is my engine bay after 4 hours of pressure washing and a big bottle of simple green. i wish i took a pic of the before but it was caked with nasty black crap due to a leaky power steering and over 250k on the road. you couldn't see any silver...it was all black. this is as clean as i could get it.
Im waiting for my turbo to come in and a couple oil lines before i can fire her up but it feels good to be close. i have been collecting parts for this swap for about 1.5 years and if its one thing i learned is to go with a us spec motor if possible. pay the extra money. the money i saved from going jdm was just dumped back in getting the correct parts like the oil pan and various other parts since im using a us spec harness. let me know what you guys think.
