wasnt happy with the wiring so i striped another shell i had laying aroud so im re-wiring the whole thing again, there were some missing sensors so i figured this would be easyer then hunting them down. only takes me a few hours to re wire the whole truck to my liking. gonna tackel it tomorrow night, then its off to my buddys exhaust shop where we are gonna build the turbo manifold, make the charge pipes and exhaust. hopefully a week or so, depends how much time i have as im also gonna be throwing a supercharger on my 5.0

lol i would just like to see it finished, im waiting for the guy that adds programs to the laser at work to add my turbo flange to the cut list so i can finish this up. once i have the tubo mounted ill be very motivated to get it done.

well it really depends what route u want to go, since i have a few shells laying around i chose to through every wire from the car in the truck to make things easy. as for getting the motor in the truck its self you can either use a gsle front cover and mount it that way, or do what i did and use a motivfab mount, by using this it makes the tranny line up in the same spot (assuming u swap over the tail section off the truck trans and put it on the rx trans) and also alowing u to use the truck drive shaft.
if going na just have to use aftermarket exhaust header, but if tubo u gotta make your own manifold due to lack of room. so like i said it really depends which route u want to go, im doing a very budget swap and have only put down money for the mount so i have next to nothing invested in it

oh and if you want to do na turbo i suggest doing what i did, port match a TII lim

this is what i have been waiting for at work, i copied the manifold to turbo gasket and made a weldable flange, i still have to cut out a few more to get the right thickness as the laser at work only is set up for 10g or less right now, so over my 2 weeks off after friday im building the manifold.
