i havnt installed the parts yet. ill do that tomorrow.
im have to swap in a different t2 motor, lame, the one i put in had a crack on the front cover
but thankfully i have another lol.
but heres some pics of the build.
got the coupling but you know what. I FAILED miserably this time. On the ebay auction it had a title saying 4ply reducer 2.5-3" coupling, and in the pictures it had like 4 couplers. So I thought itwas 4 couplers for $15. I got the coupling last night and itwas just ONE coupler. I checked teh auction again, and in the bottom in small black letters says auction for one coupling. SOO GAYYYY..fails so hard....so Im guna go pick up another coupling today from another store for only $12 fatboy garage ....
then new look
well im not really diggin it.. but its better than my smashed t2 hood. ALl I need is a new windshield.. In the sunlight youcan see the metalics almost resembling carbon fiber haha , also put a sticker to cover the pin hole dent.. 
I was thinking I remembered seeing alot of ceiling VENTS at homedepot. I can cut out the NA hood and cut the skeleton out to reduceweight and add a large vent on the top ..and paint rivited....It will be functional too...
hmmm

You can guys can have sloppy seconds
yeah i kept the turbo 2 drivetrain setup the whole time, but recently I wanted more lock on my diff so I took out my t2 diff and halfshafts and welded my open diff laying around and swapped it in with the halfshafts. As far as the driveshaft, it is still t2, I modded the t2 driveshaft to fit a NA diff, and can still fit a t2 diff.
My Na was weak with the turbo drivetrain setup.. I think cause the t2 drivetrain is beefier than NAs=more rotating mass..
well as of now, its t2 tranny, t2 driveshaft, NA welded diff, and na halfshafts..
Ive heard from my friend saying drifters can push up to 300 hp on stock halfshafts np.
If your guna use a NA motor with t2 drivetrain, Youll need to swap a t2 flywheel on ur NA motor, get aimpact gun to remove teh flywheel nut, swap the flywheels..It has to be a t2 flywheel to fit in a t2 tranny.

I still need a new starter, the starter Kent and Himeh gave me is faster than mines but still not fast enough to start the engine.. I still have to pop start it to get the engine fired... <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-Secu9FZg1A&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-Secu9FZg1A&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
The good :
engine fires up, sounds healthy, no leaks, stays cool[good efan from himeh], shot flames upon start up
the badd:
Starter is too slow, my clutch fork feels weird, wont leme shift to 1st gear sometimes, EATS ALOT OF gas[ate 2gallons in 1hour of idleing], LOUD and no longer street legal, Must pop start it to start...
