Welcome to SM, Tyson.

From the picture, the car really appears to be in awesome condition.
(Attention to detail; I'm looking at the bottom of your bumper, front lip, trim, etc).

Going from a 7M-GE to the nasty-capable 7M-GTE is an upgrade in it's own right... but do you have any other plans on top of the swap?

Post pictures!

Jeff

Thanks! Ya its a one owner car and it was an old person I was really excited when I saw it in person! So its pretty kleen :]
Umm I'm wanting to do the usual bigger inter-cooler and piping I'm going with a 3in. down-pipe, I was thinking about doing braided turbo coolant lines. I want to go with an aftermarket accoridan hose but I don't exactly know what to search for they just come up as stock ones. I'm ordering the parts as we speak :]

Got the oily beast out, lots of cleaning to do.

Started putting it together, lots to do! What to do with the water lines?!

looks good welcome to SM

How much and where did you pick up the motor from?

 

[Tysree]

I got the 7m from a guy of craigslist in portland for $650 with a broken flywheel bolt that I managed to remove after a few Drill bits and hours of work.
I just hope it runs good I still need a few odds and ends to complete it, like an accoridan hose

[Tysree]

I'm surprised I haven't seen your car I'm around there often, I'll have to keep an eye out. Your car looks super clean too I'm jelly!
If your sellin any gte parts lemme know would be nice to buy locally!

 

[connor.stephens]

I live more around the Damascus Happy Valley area. Thanks! your car looks clean too. and sadly i'm still NA so I cant help you out on any parts.

 

[Tysree]

Darn lol well I have some n/a parts now.
Do you plan on doing a swap?
Yep I have some friends out there, wish I lived there it's nice!

 

[connor.stephens]

I don't plan on it anytime soon because I just put a brand new 7mge in 3 weeks ago lol but down the line possibly.

Welcome!

Hope you're inducted into the NA- 7MGTE swap club..

There is no such official club, I'm sorry I brought it up...: (

Hey thanks stoked to be boosted now!
Got the engine in today still waiting on injectors and plugs to be able to fire it up.
Figured I would take some pictures, nothing exciting.
