i have been delaying putting up a build thread for long enough. i have been building and working for about 2 years. ill start with the early pics and eventually get to the good stuff.

this is what she looked like when i got her



the old engine. bye bye rotary



the engine first arrived, aristo 2j and an sr20. the sr20 seems like half the size.









fully torn down and heading to the machine shop

 

got rid of where it used to be plastic and filled it with metal.










primed to prevent rust for the time being.



where all my fuse boxes are going to be located







had to remove a part of the fire wall in order to get the engine to fit





this is the front support where basically every thing bolts up to. took the old flimsy one and replaced it with 1/8 inch angle iron.

 

lookin very good, subscribed

 

good stuff so far, lookin forward to more progress

 

Subscribed; PM sent.

 

built a mini paint booth just for knocking out the engine bay.





almost ready for paint. sanded and sanded like u would never believe. ended up redoing all the seam sealer . it looked like someone just threw it on from across the room. i took me about 2 days to get it looking good. u can see it in some of the previous pics.



and all done

 

heres the internals. carrillo rods, cp pistons, upgraded wrist pins, arp main studs






this the engine when it originally came back



wasnt happy with the color so i did this

 

got the head back, brian crower 1mm over valves and springs and full port and polish, stock cams for now but that will change.

 

all that work and you painted over the shock bolts?

 

God, that's HOT.

 

What subframe is that??

 

the subframe is from tech 2 motorsports

tein coilovers. paid 550 shipped for these. it was such a good deal it was hard to pass up. not my first cice for coilovers but the will get the job done.

 

got the head mounted up



got the accessories mounted on the engine



this is back when i mounted up the engine before i took it out to paint it.
