ah..the infamous downpipe/turbo killer. If you dont mind your turbos blowing and are planning to replace them, keep the downpipe on. If you dont have plans for replacing them I would suggest taking that downpipe off because those turbos WILL blow soon, and thats guarenteed.

Other than that, while the engine is out still I would replace front and rear main seal along with cam seals, timing belt, and water pump. Its a hell of alot easier doing maintanance when the motor is out on a stand vs inside a car. Just trying to help you out since ive been there myself.

GL with everything and nice build.

well I have a little more to add

drift motion power steering line

http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._6794612_n.jpg

drif motion suggested these



I figured a new pvc valve was in order seeing as the old one is defective

http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...4_694375_n.jpg

If you need new coil pack connecters check out drift motion www.driftmotion.com


here's pic of my progress so far notice the stainless bolts in the coil pack cover and replacment couplers

here's the pic of the two pcv valves old one on the right


Also the spark plugs are NGK Platinum Spark Plug 7088 http://store.driftmotion.com/static/...rkplug7088.php

And I do have to say they werent lying when they said this motor had low mile it really does and there was nothing smashed on it at all. And the company is commited to keeping a 100 percent feed back and will do what ever they can to keep you happy. They forgot my igniter and I sent them a email saying If I dont get one I would be forced to leave a negitive feed back. I was contacted they next day and had the igniter in three days so yea there a decent company from what I can tell but I dont actually start it till next mounth so we will see.

I don't remember if you said it or not but did you just keep the sc400 front cross-member and use new mounts?

I have a couple new photo's of my motor I used a liquid chrome on some pullys and covers doesn't look that great in the photo's because it was cool out and liquid chrome fogs up just like real crome but here's some photos





Should have intercooler soon and I've decided I'm going to do the wiring my self to save money and to give my self somthing to do
