You are correct, side mount. My 12a had a side mount and I wanted the same for the TII.
Installed the exhaust manifold, turbo and wastegate today.
Also added a pic of the girls changing out the brake calipers, rotors and brake lines on grandma's "rattle trap car" this evening.
Emily and Alanna are now both able to set a jack and remove a tire.....train them early and they will take care of themselves.
got the heat protective film on the LIM.
Fuel rails and UIM are next.
Lovin' your gold NASA status LIM!! What type/brand of film are you using? Freakn LOVE it! Been wanting to do the same w/mine, lol. (before I stumbled across this awesomeness!)

I now have a complete wrecked S4 Turbo that im parting out....thats also covered in spiders...
And another GTUs 13bre swapped that is going to have the same fate unfortunately.
That is. When i man up enough to work through the spiders lol
I got the brakes all set, new rotors, calipers, pad, brake lines.
Also got my new drive shaft made by Shaftmasters, 3in aluminum with a TII yoke and a GSL-SE rear link.
....and I got my Hotwaterlabs headlight kit as well as the bumper light set.
Can't wait to get these installed once the last of the welding is done on the turbo flange and air intake as well as getting the wiring all installed for the Haltech.
Getting closer.
Did some more work on the body wire harness, added some replacement Delphi connectors to replace OEM..old car.
Layed in the Hotwaterlabs headlight harness as well.
Picked up a Greddy Profec electronic boost controller GReddy over the weekend and have started getting that plumbed in.
Tranny and throttle cables installed, some fab work needed to tune the throttle cable mount.
Switching to LS1 coils for the plugs instead of the Subi Coil on plug setup, free'd up alot of room.
Getting close.
Well was finally able to get a garage space at my apartment, so i'm going to be moving the REPU to my place. Once it's here, i'm going to start working on it again. Still deciding on what to do about the rear end of the truck. Leaning more towards a Ford 8.8.
Easier to post my build thread than repost all the same pics and info. https://www.rx7club.com/20b-forum-95/20beast-fd-build-1021190/page8/#post11931139
Been steady on stuff, getting the ECU and Ignition wire set in place, also installed the Boost controller and solenoid.
Had a issue with bleeding the brakes and had to take everything off and fix the slider valve that wasn't passing fluid and also went with different brake lines.....and I discovered that I had the brake calipers on the wrong sides...geez.
Installed the overflow tank and started getting the LS1 coils ready for mounting.
Pulled the glove box and made ABS plastic holders for the Haltech electronics, drilled holes for the harness and usb.
Hopefully get it over to Bens so Sean can weld up the exhaust soon.

Got more harness connections built(tps, water temp, CAS, AirTemp), working on getting sheet metal ready to put back on the car.
Moved it out into the light of day for the first time in almost 3 years, towed it down the street to put it on the lift and put the stainless muffler system on via Sean.
Injector wires and coil wires are next.
Added some pic's of the car on the lift so you see how the 2nd Gen cross member fits.
Enjoy!

Custom downpipe and exhaust is now in(tailpipe is temporary till the car is tuned.) adding he BOV mount to the intercooler and LS1 coil bracket will be finished tomorrow. Just need to tidy up some wires, relays, switches, terminate coils and injectors, fan and add a battery.....and put in the seats.
Pic's of the BOV mount welded to the intercooler and the SS bracket made to hold the LS1 coils on the drivers side shock tower, thanks again to Sean O'Brien for the Aluminum and SS welding/Fab work.
Started the coil harness and got the first of 4 connections done to the coils.
Also got the Center dash console plate made, chose ABS and mounted the switches and the Cell phone holder.
Gotta get more done today if I'm going to drive this thing this week.
Just got this in, and its about to make the last bit of my year much better! Thanks to Jeff20B for building, and playing with the mess of parts I had!
Its no 20b, or big turbo. But Jeff did try to sell me on the turbo set up, but as they say once you go turbo you never go back. So this is the mistake I wanted to make, I wanted the sound, and feel for the sake of having it. Is what we have is a S4 TII block, S5 NA rotors, and a 5" camden supercharger.
I am hopping 5lb of boost will be safe on the high compression rotors, and give it that little more. Hopefully taking it closer to the stock TII power levels. That being said if the NA to boost don't last long the turbo build is on! So its a win win... Right? I am super excited to put some miles on her, and I got 400 more to go till the break in is done... So AWAYYYYY
The engine compartment is now complete, just need to finish up some interior stuff and put a battery in so I can start testing electrical.
Sean O'Brien created a base MAP for the Haltech Sprint RE so we can try to start it tonight or tomorrow.
that is going to have the same fate unfortunately.
More stuff for the project arrived.
More stuff
