Valve and timing covers were originally going to get powder coated, but work is slow and budget is tight so I high temp rattle canned it. Intake manifold is an ISIS painted with high temp silver (was one of the bad batches and had blemishes). manifold and turbo setup is the Pro-Mod kit from RawBrokerage using the Garrett GT3076R. Block is also painted but remains stock internally besides ACL bearings and RawBrokerage crank collar (compression test showed 150 in all cylinders). Painted engine brackets with Mckinney engine mounts. New pumps, belts, tensioner/idle pulley, gaskets, crank pulley. SPEC stage 3 clutch/flywheel. If it wasn't for money and lack of drive, this thing would be running by now lol. This is going into a 95 240sx I bought as a rolling shell. Hopefully I'll make more progress this month and get this thing running. Next big purchase will be a Haltec platinum pro from Ricky at RawBrokerage. BTW pics were taken by iphone so sorry about the quality. :)

Thanks. I picked mine up at jdm tech of Orlando. Good people there. If they don't have any I know raw brokerage also sells swaps.

Yeah i like the location. I only wish the dump tube was a bit longer so the vented gas doesn't get recirculated into my intake. Or build an air box so it only gets fresh air.

I didn't even notice it was that short. I couldn't quite see the end of it so I assumed you tied it back into the downpipe. You might want to extend thae dump pipe just so it doesn't end up burning the paint or melting something in the engine bay near the outlet.

I'll deal with it once the engine is in the car.
