Haven't messed anything up yet **crosses fingers**

It's been too cold (here in Texas, I know...right?) to get under my car at the moment, even in my garage, so I've just been waiting for it to warm up. My propane heater in the garage can't even keep it warm so I'm just waiting it out a few weeks.

Next step is to drop her in the car!

Coming soon!

Updates:

Power FC D-jetro came in from Japan finally (was waiting on the two D-jetro MAP sensors for it to ship). $2100 - OUCH.
Tial 46mm external wastegate (had it, but just no pics from earlier). $600 - OUCH again.
Apexi PowerFc TunerPRO software w/pentium 4 laptop (from a friend...thanks!) - $300. :)

Anyway, so I only have one "large" order of parts left, and it's under $750 (fluids, battery, battery relocation box, innovate LC-1 wideband, etc.) but I'm going to TRY to get the engine "test fitted" in the engine bay this weekend or next. I'm a pussy when it comes to cold...even with my propane heater in my garage.

It's in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


...that's what she said. :)

Anyway, dropped the RB in to check hood clearances (had to clock the turbo slightly) and tack weld the Speed & Sound STL mounts. I'm leaving it in until next weekend so I can savor my little victory for a little bit. :) Total time about a year and a half to this point. Now to take it back out, weld the mounts up and repaint the engine bay! **yay**

Here's a few pics:
