Not really, Im half way through taking out the old engine. I have pics of some of the parts that are going in.

New Radiator

Header Panel

Surge Tank from JAS

Console trim to fit the guages

Some cheap guages, but are suppose to be accurate as they have stepper motors.

Its been slow going as I have been doing things as the weather permits as well as when funds come through. This is where I am up to so far.

Starting wiring and fitting the ignition gear

Bought a td05h turbo from zaidja as for the moment I am after response rather than outright power, also its the same turbo that was orginally on it so the tune will be close. Also been buying braided lines for the engine and learning how to make them, Go Youtube :D.

Keep it comin' Bao!

Those wires have got me cock-eyed :P

I've got the red GSR-V in storage, but when I test drove it, I couldn't believe the difference in the way the car would steer,
continually accelerate (rev higher) and pull up! Superior car to the widey.

I don't know that the silicon hose going from your waste gate actuator should be connected (Tee'ed into) to the PCV valve on the rocker cover?

Mal the wiring isnt too bad its just messy at the moment as i just wanted it off the ground.

Tom i was just using the t piece, the other end will go to the fuel pressure reg, the pcv valve will have its own hose.

Thanks Greg, but I cant take all the credit, the old guy who owned it before me did most of the work :P

Quick update, almost got the engine in, the mounts didnt line up by a couple of mm but i ran out of sunshine.

WANTSOM · Post by **WANTSOM** » Mon Apr 12, 2010 12:52 pm

Its always a big moment Bao when a new motor goes in for the first time.

You'll get the engine mounts sorted no problemns and then all the bolting up/fun stuff. Piece by piece the jigsaw is coming together.

Good to see the project coming along :beer
