Believe it or not I pulled the motor back apart a few weeks ago because I realized I left sealant off around one dowel section. I just couldn't stand thinking off a small oil leak. Good thing I did as I found the new front bearing got debri in there and scoured the bearing pretty good. All is back together as of tonight.

massive turbo! I look at the engine bay pictures and cant help but think that the turbo should be mounted in the center of the engine bay with the motor hanging off to the side, lol.. its odd to see a turbo larger than the engine, looks beast though!!! can't wait for some track times!
good job on this build bro!

G/L with the build. I finally gave up on the Liberty trans and installed a T56. I really love it and could kick myself for waiting so long. I'm commuting to Alaska for work every 2 weeks so life around the house has changed a bit putting stress on car time. Its all good though. Looking forward to you putting down some times. I want to go to the track with my new trans. It should help. See ya, buddy!

I went with rw throttle because it was bolt on 90mm. Quality seems good for China made.
Yes, methonal this time around. Power goals...... Don't want to shoot myself in the foot. The components are going to be there for big numbers so I hope all goes well and the boost can get cranked up. My old motor made over 700 on gas, no semi, no studs or balancing and on a 74mm.

For anyone interested in a single throttle, FFE has their throttle body adapter that allows the use of a 90mm GM throttle body. The adapter is $140 and junk yard pull throttle bodies are cheap. It wouldn't be a big deal to bore the adapter to 102mm either and use one of the aftermarket throttles from BBK or the like.

That's the Rotary Works FD throttle body correct? Not the 20B/Cosmo one? I noticed the linkage is on the front like the FD and not on the back of the Throttle body. Did you have to make an adapter to cover the hole on the bottom of the UIM? Thanks, any info is really appreciated.
