so after cleaning up the sub frame, I went to finally finish up the suspension and get the wheels back on.
I USED to have a garage, but iam not cool as some of you guys, so my working conditions are all about dedication.
so here was the total machine shop bill, again I wish I didn't separate the shim buckets, but my head is finally done.
and here is the finished product.

next up was the borg warner mock up. The turbo is huge, and they sent me the wrong one. I originally wanted the one with the 90deg bend. but I figured I would make this one work.
I had to cut off the end and source a 2 and half inch bend to merge to the hotside. so needed Austin(the great) welding skills once more. I also attached a reserve to the compressor.

Just read this from the beginning. Great job man for not giving up on it when you ran into so many headaches.. This just motivated me even more to finish my 1j. What are the Specs of the BW? I was thinking about going with that but decided to go with the smaller BW SX256.

Yea i know the feeling.. I stopped posting pics and updating my thread.. but im goign to start posting pics and updates soon.. Hopefully my build will help others that want to do a 1j swap. When i started mine i was digging thru archives to see ppl 1j threads haha. Noticed alot of the OG arent around anymore so sometimes its hard to get some answers. But either way nice build man. What hp goals are you shooting for?

so here are some pics I lost/found are of some of the other stuff I did. I didn't have the proper tools to properly strip these valve covers. so I used a grinder brush. and I had some paint that matched my color code to spray on the valve covers.
here is a new damper I got offline for less than $100.00 dollars.
and here is what perfect tdc looks like. and here is installation of my pulley kit.
