Yes I did everything myself except for the wiring harness, which I could've done but it would have added an extra 2-3 weeks time of figuring it all out.
As far as other things I changed before I put it in,
oil control valve filter (goes behind large banjo under OCV)
oil filter (if you remove sandwich plate make sure to replace o-ring behind it to block)
pilot bearing
thermostat
radiator hoses
spark plugs
pcv hoses between the valve covers
heater hoses (you might have to figure this out or use your old ones)
water temperature sender
check vacuum hoses and all your lines, connectors, etc..

I got my engine stand
Still in the box, the wife was nice to tell fedex to drop it in the garage and take a pic.
Taking all of those hoses, exhaust parts were an issue. I was getting tired taking it all apart seperately, so I just took everything that was attached to the block and unbolted the manifold. Much easier!! Without an engine stand it was much harder, but worth getting them removed. I was done at 2:30am and went to sleep.

Not alot of recent updates, I am still looking for parts that I need still. I am looking for good used parts where I can. And where I cant find any I then just buy them new. This my list:
**Bell Housing 1jz/2jz
**Pedal Set IS300 (Brake and Clutch)
**Aeromotive Stealth Pump
**Intercooler and Piping
**ECU Apexi Neo
**Single Turbo
**Turbo Manifold
**Clutch Hose
**Clutch Kit
**Flywheel 1jz
**Driveshaft
**Shifter Extension
**AEM Wideband
**Defi gauges
**Defi DF07703 Link Meter Advance CR Control Unit
**Engine Mounts
**Gasket Kit
**Wastegate 46mm up
A member from the IS300 group send me some pics and prices of items he is selling so I will be considering the following two things for now:
Turbo Kit
ToyoMoto Manifold w/ divided T4 flange
Turbonetics 50mm Newgen Racegate Wastegate

Manifold and all turbo parts are ceramic and powder coated silver
That is for that at least
And then the fuel pumps
SRT Billet Dual Pump hanger w/ 2 walbro 255 pumps

Aside from those parts that I plan on getting I have cleaned my garage a bit and put the twin turbo parts back together to minimize the clutter.
Aside from that I am still collecting more parts. As you can see my list is getting smaller, unless I keep adding crap to it.

Sorry for the confusion here, that engine that the turbo and manifold sit on is not mine. I posted the pictures to show the pictures of the turbo, manifold, and downpipe that I was considering to buy from a member here in clublexus. But his engine which is very clean on the picture is not mine. I plan on getting mine that immaculate as well, but I am still working on buying those parts. After further questioning the clublexus is300 member noticed that my engine is a GTE while his is a GE so it wont work for me to buy the turbo kit from him. I can at least get the fuel pump setup. Again sorry for any confusion, I was just trying to share future mod plans and the member I was going to buy them from had send me pictures of what he had.
The picture below shows where I am still:
I need to take more parts off my engine to clean it up so it can look like what you saw above.
