My 2002.5 P5 AwesomeSauce build thread

I'm probably gonna buy a used motor and build that one with forged internals. New water/oil pump. Basically new everything so it will be like having a motor with 0 miles on it.
 
Thanks alot! Still got more work to do. Your build is coming out pretty good also.

That's the plan, I'm tired of the reps. Might get me some racing hearts if I can find a good deal on them.

Bought something quite interesting today. Looking for a cylinder head, found one with a turbo manifold at a decent price. After searching up online trying to figure out what kind of manifold it was, my guess is that it is a BEGI top mount T3 manifold. Here are some pics.

Thats an awesome find! I've got a hiboost setup coming soon. Similar layout. How much did you pay for the manifold?

Nice! Tell me about it lol, the guy I bought it from didn't even own a protege. Full head with manifold was $150

Got my FEL-PRO head gasket/rebuild set. Going be sending off the cylinder head to get serviced soon. Currently cleaning the valve cover, manifold, and MBSP to be touched up by signature products.

Just block with crank only. I already have a head that I picked up locally. Gonna send my N/A P5 MBSP off to get a AN fitting welded on and get a AWR pan

Slowly but surely, all the parts are coming together quite nicely. Only need a few more things and I should be good to go.
