Pics of my Engine almost done
Well I added the Vac stuff,wiring harness, and fuel lines today.
I also put on my UIM but didnt take pics.
I have removed the Vack Rack but kept the PCV and Hotstart solenoid.
Above you can see where I relocated the single solenoid left.
This is where I relocated the PCV. I used the S5 oil tube which the S5 boost solenoid is on. It made a good mount.

My baby which the 13bt is going in. 88 GTU
The Jspec core engine I used.
The engine after I got it from Kevin (Rotary Resurrection)
Pulling the NA Blown Coolant seal engine.
Bad engine pulled.
My polished manifolds
I still have to fab up a Oil Drina line for the turbo with some SS hose but I should be running by this weekend.

I polished them myself. I didn't do a job as good as a pro would have but it came out pretty good.
I used something like 120 grit,300,600,1000 then I went over it with a buffer and polishing compound.
They are a huge improvement over the rusted,sea salted color it was before. BTW it's a S5 Jspec manifold

At first the Red housings and Blue hose were looking nasty but it's coming together pretty well.
I painted a bunch of parts with 500` Silver engine paint and then sprayed a Metal Cast Blue Anodize paint over the parts which wouldn't see a lot of heat.
The stock oil cap is being replaced by my Atkins Rotor cap though!
I also painted my pulleys.
I didn't paint the insides of the waterpump one but got lazy and sprayed all the rest.
I expect the paint to be removed by the belts where needed in due time.
Oh and yes that's my really expensive engine stand(aka junk tire) Since I have the manifold on I can hoist it up with an engine puller now.

My AN Stainless Steel braided oil return line.
Finally got the engine in the car today. Took me about 6 hours due to small problems.
I am going to hook up the fuel/oil/vac lines soon and then put the koyo "bling" radiator in.
Hopefuly it will run this week.

Hopefully.
I want to try and get on a dyno and see what the AFR's are so I can be sure I won't detonate. This is my daily driver and cannot afford to pop the engine.
Although I figure I'll be fine since I have cleaned and tested 550's and a Walbro.
