Turbo swap progress pics

Been working on this for the past month or so. Engine is based on an "early" style 13B block. Fully rebuilt with large extend ports, doweled, S5 turbo rotors slotted for 3mm seals and clearanced, 3 window main bearings, nitrided HV oil pump, increased oil pressure, modified oil jets, swiss cheese flywheel , brass button, S5 water pump and housing. Turbo is a high-flow S5 item. Still need to finish up the fuel system, wiring, ECU, intercooler piping and exhaust.

Wow. A right hand drive car, too. But that's all they sold in Australia, huh? Do you guys drive on the "wrong" side of the road, too? I always thought it was just Japan and Britain. If it's any country that speaks English with an accent, I wonder if Ireland drives on the "right" side, also?
