Sound performance T4 manifold + downpipe should be installed within the next few days. My N/A valve covers should be here, then should be gone a day or two later to be chromed 
850cc injectors are on the way. As well as the GT4294 ..

Manifold is on. Waiting for turbo to get here so I can see if I need a spacer or not. I'm sure I will.
Also, apparently I'm going with a TMS Alum. driveline. Any opinions? I don't plan on 800+ HP really, so I don't think aluminum will be an issue.

850cc Siemens Deka's have been installed today! Turbo should be here any day now. I can't wait, I'm dying to see what I'm going to have to do to make it fit. In the meantime, I'm going to prettying up the bay I suppose. Tucking some wires, things like that. I'm going to be ordering all new IC piping so it matches/isnt scratched! Mandrel ftw.
What internals are you running on the 7M?

Whoops, just read your signature. I heard to many bad things on JE and piston slap. That is the reason I am going CP's in my 2JZ now. Sold my 7M and the new owner, "babied it" to 9,000 RPM with a nice rod through the block.

Yeah. I diesel when cold, It's not a horrible slap though. Minute or so later and it's gone.. I've never heard anything about the CP's though.. how can you be so sure they don't slap? Any links?
9k is WAY too high for a 7M IMO .. I'd never push mine that far without some SERIOUS work .. even then .. hmph ..
Titan Driveshaft will be here thursday. Got a present in the mail yesterday..
When placed on the manifold, it looks like it'll fit with no modification, just a 1/2" spacer. That sounds nice, I thought I'd have to do much more than that.
Dont mind the downpipe, it's the old one.

Sorry for the dark pics. It's my phone. Also, don't mind the orange valve cover, I'm just test fitting. It won't be going on until it's chromed/polished.

Next big thing I want to do is modify the FFIM or sell it. I'll either modify it to tilt upward slightly to allow the alt to fit under, or maybe just sell it to someone who doesn't need A/C and go with a sethron mani.
Still some things to figure out for the GT42 install. Overall it's going pretty well I have to say, I really didn't expect it to fit AT ALL.

JE's are great pistons. Rod going through a block can be for many reasons. I have witnessed one through a 2J block. Actually, I've witnessed more JZ's breaking then 7M's. Fact is, shit breaks and nothing is perfect.
Nice build white!!! Glad this turbo worked out for you.

Ugh.. I hate this point.. waiting for parts to arrive. I feel so useless!
Waiting on T4 spacer, gaskets, couplers, piping, etc. to replace the 2.5" hot side piping I was running.

Cool Build Mike! I was gonna recommend shaftmasters driveshafts...but you already bought one. Oh wells
Good luck with the build.

Thanks Sam!
I've heard some good and some bad about shaftmasters. This TMS driveshaft is supposed to be tits, we'll see!

It's all good brutha! Consider it.......motivational!
I can't wait until you get some numbers on this beast. If you haven't already, you should consider the SP Quickspool Valve.

Yeah I'm going to grab one next month hopefully. I'm worried it won't fit though!

So Gord (FlatEric) and I are taking on a little project I've had brewing in the back of my head. I'm keeping this one secret until I have pics!
Checked tracking on the turbo spacers. Should be here thursday. I'm dead in the water until then, unless I want to drop this damn fuel tank. Hmm..

When I switch to a tubular manifold, I'm going to try to get one to fit the CT mount. We'll see how that goes. At least you're running a FFIM so that'll help your spool.
