pics of my new JSPEC engine.

**scratches head**
there is an engine there somewhere?

update:

Engine is IN!

Pictures to follow.

Update again:

Most of the accessory items are on (PS, air con, oil cooler etc.). The main things left to do is make the fuel lines (AN) and mount the turbo system and intake.

At this pace, I'm aiming for turn key by friday.

Siiiick. I may be picking up my first Skyline on Friday. I think it's a sign. Let's go cause some mayhem.

OR just drive around smiling from ear to ear. Your call.

So I did a lot of work today and also last nite.

After work yesterday (6:30pm) I started prepping the engine to go in. By 12AM the engine was in, and the transmission,clutch, engine mounts etc. were all in.

Then this morning after a few hours of running around to Mopac, Lordco, Canadian tire, NW fuel (pick up my cleaned injectors) and an exhaust shop to weld the crack in my manifold up, I was home and ready to work.

Here is where I started a bit later into the morning (I did the fuel rails today before I took the picture)







And here is where I just left off this evening at 11PM.





Tommorow after work I will be making the fuel lines and making a turbo oil return line.

[GTR-guy]

Nice work man! I wish I could also go with a single turbo! (HKS T04S kit) I'll finish the reliability mods first then up the power with the twins.
Anyways, keep the pictures coming. I like it a lot!

[Chris_RB]

Hrm, that turbo looks familiar!! Looking good Aaron.

[Zulu]

110% Sick !

I am digging it big time. I can't wait for this thing to be on the road !

[falcon]

well, I guess in a way it hit the road this evening. waking up all the neighbours driving around at 12AM with an open downpipe.




She runs.

Thanks to some PowerFC help by Dan (Zulu).

It's still got a few things to do before being road worthy, but it should be ready to go shortly. I'm just happy it runs.

Vids are uploading right now.

Just after first start up... as you can tell, dealing with the idle a bit





After a quick rip around the block.... Zulu is adding coolant sinc eth esystem needed bleeding.

[supguyex]

*most deepest most deep envy cos i wasn't there when this happened*
wicked car.... that is seriously gonna be serious business when you're done.

saw a gorgeous black rx7 in a lot today and sorta wondered how your build was goin.
guess it's goin pretttty good

[falcon]

all's left to really do is make a proper mount for the FPR, install the IC and piping and basically just go over everything with a fine tooth comb.

then she'll be ready for the road

[RHDskyline]

Looks like a good build so far. Keep up the good work
