This is before I started
And It begins.....yes I'm messy

Just finished all the seals and timing belt...then mounted manifold on
took it off the stand to do rear main seal and clutch
just dropped it in
now I'm rapping some things up and changing some things around....and painted compressor housing...
GT4082 t4 turbo, 550cc injectors,emanage.....etc.....

thanks for the feed back guys....
it has been about 2 months..and thats me by myself taken it easy. I have alot going on right now so its has not been number 1 priority until this last week or so. I'm really trying to get it done now.
and to green1.... i'm shooting for 450whp right now so I think 550's should do the trick.

Custom manifold and Garrett turbo.
JDMjza70: Its a 1jz so 550's are actually an upgrade for me. And I'm using a built getrag...lol just kidding a plain old W58 thats why my power goals will be no more than 450whp.
Kez:Yea its not easy when your doing it solo. It took me hours just to sit the motor in right. I had to lower the hoist an inch then check clearances then go back and lower,check raise a little, re-position and over and over until i got it right. Also sound Clips will be available as soon as i get this thing on the street.

it's progress, but you still have a long way to go just to get it moving. And even once you do, you got bugs you gotta work out. Don't worry, it's the life of an engine swap, im still working out all the bugs in my swap, but the end result will be satisfying and you will love it. one piece of advice though: get some extra dough and ditch the W58. It won't last long with 450 hp going through it. keep up the good work!

Stick3: Trust me I plan on having bugs and problems. Nothing ever goes smooth for me..lol And I understand that their are stronger tranny options. But I'm not changing it. To much BS and money involved. I know how to handle the limits of the vehicle i'm driving i'll be ok. If not I'll find someone to rebuild my w58 and try it again.
onejay: we've never met but you've been very helpful. You have even taken time out to help me over the phone. And you dont know me, I did not buy anything from you....Nothing. That shows me alot.... Thanks
Megamx:I bought the motor locally for $600 with no harness,computer or tranny. I used my stock W58.
