What’s your power goals? Is your motor going to retain the stock tension bolts or oversized studs?

PowerGoals are about 450 HP on the wheels on low boost and 500 + on high boost . To be honest i am not sure if he used oversized studs , will have to find out as i bought the motor from someone that had it built for himself but decided to go 20B after the motor was built.
I attched some engine build pics .

It looks like that your engine is using dowels pin, which is good too.

So not much visible progress the last few weeks , we figured most of the wiring out.
Getting connectors in this country is a pain , as i need to import most connectors
(Flex fuel / Wideband , and Throttle and Throttle body connector ) . Was busy to figure out how to tap into the wiring harness for the ABS and managed to find a old thread about it . Got some nice help from Adaptronic which figured out that in order to not disturb the signals for the ABS some transformers should be fitted . Busy getting all the parts together now to make up the circuit board ,

This is the circuit i will be using . The frequency dividers i tested already and they work as intended (The G4 Fury can only handle 500 Hz and the ABS Sensors put out approx 1700 at 300 kph ) . Now i just need to put everything nicely on a circuit board and then i can test if the signals get received as intended and if its usable for traction control input ,

Some bad news . The inner bushing for the output shaft is worn . Ordered a new one from Atkins Rotary and hopefully it fits

On a positive note my Brand new OEM Mazda headlight covers finally arrived

KTS Super tower bar arrived

The zinc coating looks better then when the pipe was new . ( wiring still needs work as the previous guy cut harnesses )

Everything polished

New an bungs welded on

That galavanizing makes such a difference

Wiring is also making nice progress ( never mind the open connection next to the door sill , that was the previous owner and will be fixed still )

Any reason you are powdercoating it? That's pretty pricy for a part no one can see. I'd just throw some paint on it.

Also, there are grounding points on the dash bar. Some have experience electrical issues after paint/powder. I'm sure you could grind them clean as needed.
