well i didn't have funds for my aero kit so ive gone ahead and repainted the bay a nice charcoal black, the motor is in and every part gets here tomorrow.

unfortunately i still don't have funds for bigger injectors/rail and pump so im stuck with what i have for now.

heres a little teaser :)

Wow,great progress man,I'm basically at the same stage you are. Just wondering,how are the reviews for that turbo? Looks like its a pretty good size,and the price is pretty reasonable and I'm in the market for a turbo.

I gotcha, I've been down that road before too. If you did a review for it that would be awesome, anyway good luck with the swap, I'll be following your progress

UPdate heres the update. i tored insides up and am redoing it she will be stripped(done) and painted. and some other things as well. so far ive shed ridiculous amounts of weight from the car (ill be modest an say 200lbs) the car weighed 3300lbs when i first got it with Pocket_vato inside ( << lol) so the power to weight will be nice ;)

PICS (sorry kinda blurry )

Man, that's an awesome build you got going on bro! I guess I'll be looking really hard in either my 87 MK3 5 speed turbo supra or 94 auto sc300.
