its the on3 kit, He wouldn't split the kit up so I got the IC piping which I guess I'll just cut up and try to use some of it. I'm hoping the turbo will clear the tub and the downpipe will clear the firewall because its too pretty to cut up.

Nice, I love mine its the best thing ive bought.

got the motor tore down some more and started cleaning it and getting it ready for assembly



as you can see the RTV on this thing is ridiculous but otherwise is a good bottom end.

got the block painted yesterday and ended up taking a little road trip to check out a truck with a friend, so tomorrow I'll start assembling. Ive never done any kind of internal motor work so this is all new to me.

[unii]

been working on the motor in my free time, got most of it assembled so of course I had to throw the manifold and turbo on.

Wait is this where the turbo is going to be mounted?

edit:nvm didn't look close enough the motor isn't fully in hahah

yeah the motor is still on the stand and the turbo needs to be clocked

[Miroteknik]

u so crazzzzyy

Turbo SBF is cool, definitely a less traveled path. Consider reinforcing the flange on the subframe that the forward diff mount attaches to. Solid front mounts have a tendency to rip that boy straight off the subframe. You might know this as well but the flanged part on the diff bushings goes on the bottom. I was running most of what you have in that picture, you're going to have a good time
