[subieadam]

Sometimes you just gotta keep it simple lol

[Muse]

I guess it didn't happen

*nods sagely* yup. Guess not.

[Hinyo]

No Pictures for you fools!

More updates.

Thanks to a good friend

Got some things on the way

JE 100mm Pistons
Manley H-tuff Rods + arp bolts
ARP Head studs

Things still left to order

Moroso Oil Pickup Tube (Taking a chance on it instead of Killer B)
King/ACL bearings (will depend on builder)
98 Outback/GT harness (Need to get off my butt and just get this one weekend)

Focusing on a light build for now.

Anyone have any opinions on holset turbos?

I've been pretty set on an 18g over a vf39 not looking for crazy power 350whp is the end goal.

Pics or it didn't happen.

[98legwag]

Apparently I have been giving @Hinyo too much a hard time about pictures. I have been warned by a mutual friend to stop.

[Dead91silvia]

As a Moderator, I think pics are needed to make the community happy.

[Hinyo]

Pictures Smictures!

Picked up some more parts today!

Company 23 ACVS Cam Tool
08-14 STI TMIC
Invidia Divorced Downpipe
725cc ID injectors
Grim Speed Turbo Heat Shield

You could say things are getting pretty serious.

Got a quote from a shop for the labor

See this link to see how I feel about pricing Reaction

This build is getting $$$$ but it will all come together nicely

[Hinyo]

Things I still want/need

Access Port
ELH
Legacy Wiring Harness

Not in any particular order but for sure need harness and access port

[Hinyo]

Also Still need gaskets and such along with an oil pickup tube....

sleep need that too tonight

Will have to hold off on the ELH but have to do the other stuff

YAY for project money pit.

[98legwag]

He messaged me pictures of the book of faces. Things are happening.

[Dead91silvia]

Still no pics... errrrrr

[Hinyo]

Still no pics... errrrrr

You must be the only one who cant see them.

They are CLEARLY there

[Hinyo]

Well....

More updates.

Got the Block torn down. Took it to a shop and its getting built. Should be done by the end of the week.

Trans noise is coming from transfer bearings so that will get sorted once I pull the subframes out.

Found a "99" SUS at the junkyard but its actually a 98 So Wiring harness should be going out this week.

I'll be gone for 2 weeks in europe so no updates while I'm away but hopefully once I'm back it can all come together pretty quickly!

[98legwag]

I saw more pictures on Facebook of things happening

[nepbug]

I currently have 2 Perrin EL headers in my garage and a Ported and Polished OEM turbo header. Either of those options would work well here, but shipping out to you would probably be a bit expensive. Plus, I still have dreams of having a use for each one (just haven't let reality set in fully yet).

That doesnt count if its not on the forum! :P

[Hinyo]

Car has been popping a misfire code but I haven't bothered to spend any time/ money to fix it drives just fine though

[Hinyo]

I got the block back from the machine shop.

Taking the heads to be cleaned and decked if needed.

Paying for the harness merge as we speak!

Things are happening! Can't wait!

[Hinyo]

Heads are at the machine shop! Pressure tested. "hot tanked" and machined flat if needed

[Hinyo]

Small update.

Wiring harness completion date got pushed back.

Hopefully completed the following week.

Heads back from the machine shop and prepped to put together.

Took some time to order block off plates and half moons taking Friday and Saturday off to make some more progress on the engine.

[Hinyo]

Started putting the motor together.

Mostly complete just need to time it.

Car is at the pain shop having the front an rear bumper re sprayed.

Should be nice when its back!

[Hinyo]

Engine is timed and ready to drop in.

Just need to put the block of plates on the heads.

Harness will be here on Thursday. Took ALOT longer than I thought for them to finish my harness But I hope its all worth it

The car should HOPEFULLY be back from paint soon as well!
