Here is progress from today:

Its out!

Went relatively flawless today - pulled driveshaft, slave cylinder, removed more from up front (intake manifold and such) and then went under and undid the mounts and set up the cherry picker and she cam out the front nice and easy. I then separated the trans out of the bay.

After pulling that lump out I took the grinder to any and all randomly placed studs that used to hold down crap I don't have any more. All the nitrous and wiring from the sides is now lifted up - going to try and hide as much as I can or at least mount it down lower where its not so ugly. Going to power wash the bay next weekend I hope, and then paint it, and then we swap the engine in when it's done.

Just a mini update

Got the manifold pretty much fully welded need to add a wastegate - I am going from trying to do 2x 38mm to 1x 44mm, picking the wastegate up sometime next week. Dunno if I should tie it in or dump, I kind of want to tie it in - got tired of dumping last build.

BAMF?

Nuff said

Thanks

Got this today too:

Decided -6AN was on the small side

Annnnnnywaaaaaaaaaaay

Updates!

Picked up 2 of these

4 channel Innovate EGT loggers. I will have 8 ports to play with - I figure I'll do 6 manifold runners, one pre turbo in collector, and one post turbo in down pipe just for reference/learning.

Also, my friend sent me this pic today, finished up our torque plate which means time for block machining and assembly!!!
