Switched to the magic juice that everyone is talking about. Lets see how this turns out. Have a base map uploaded to the ecu and have the car running on it. (Tune provided by ap123, Thanks!)

Your build continually amazes/motivates me for my own haha. You're literally doing what I hope to do with mine, keep it up!

Thanks man! Just keep going at it and you'll get there eventually lol. Took me 5 years to get it where it's currently at.

Big Update! Finally got my block back from the machine shop. Sorry for the vertical pics, taken on my phone. Was too excited and didnt take nice pics the DSLR lol. Finally painted the block and started assembling everything. Clearances were checked and everything torqued down with supplied lube.
Just test fitting the cylinder head with manifold. New turbo is coming in tomorrow, will get pics of that when it comes in. As for whats left, the cylinder head is getting supertech single springs and retainers and bronze valve guides. AWR engine mounts are on my wishlist as well as an ACT 4 puck clutch. Then its just all the small things after that. Should have the new engine ready in about 2-3 months hopefully!

So awesome! And crazy that you are doing all this in the house. Can you get the full motor and stand through the doorway?

Thanks! Did a few more things today.
- Put a new friction plate on the fidanza flywheel.
- Starting making template for new gauge setup.
- All visible hardware replaced with SS cap screws.

that last picture of the block is money. I don't particularly trust the hex cap bolts personally. I'd do hex heads. Either way, very nice.

I'm so excited for this. And that manifold is so cool. Are you planning on getting it coated?

Yes, planning on getting it coated but that'll be one of the last things that happens. Still need to finish the cylinder head first and buy a clutch and engine mounts
