Updates: Rear of engine coming together, first belt installed: Engine is off of stand, and last freeze plug, rear main seal, and trans-axle metal gasket reinstalled. Fidanza Flywheel, ACT Z66-XTSS clutch, and trans-axle bolted on. Ready for drop-in to the bay! Oh, did I mention that...

Epic build in progress!! Much props. We haven't seen a build like this in a while up in the DFW.

Hmmm, I have a set of these I need to install....

Here is my solution to the sag: AAC Bumper Brackets

Man, I totally missed this post. Sam picked this turbo based on what I told him I wanted to see power-wise. I don't want to do anymore than 350 WHP, until my transaxle can take it, but this turbo can easily surpass this.

Here is the latest. Having to clean every part from the old block before installing on the new block is a definite time consumer.

Hey Jason, I still have the mid-pipe. Let me PM you my new number so we can discuss.

Thanks. Ordered.

Hello all, I'm looking to get the upper and lower timing belt covers in good condition. Please let me know if you have some available. Thanks!

This weekend, I got around to finally cleaning up the MSP MBSP I purchased. Amazing what some industrial-strength degreaser, an assortment of scrubbing brushes, a razor-blade scraping tool, and a dremmel can do. THAT PURPLE STUFF!!!!

Exactly! I work in I.T., and have to wear my Vibram Five Finger shoes at work, but as soon as I hit the door to leave, the shoes come off. I've actually been looking at getting these: http://magento.gost-barefoots.com/paleobarefoots.html

I guess the Molnar rods do look similar. Shane! How are you liking that 25PSI? What kind of power? The only thing I'm really concerned about now are my gears in my trans-axle. Oh, and it looks like I forgot to provide updates: Test-Fitting: It's going to be a close fit:

I was on Vancouver Island last fall, and loved it there. The next time we come back, I'll have to check out your ride. :)

Dropped off the downpipe, manifold, and turbine housing at the ceramic coaters yesterday. Plan to have pictures of the results next week.

I'll take the Sandwhich Plate (MBSP) with oil return line and fittings and stock oil pan.

That turbo will be more efficient due to the aerodynamics of the compressor wheel...not to mention the slightly larger sizing.

New build here: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123833302-LinuxRacr-s-2013-New-Build-Thread

Well, I finally got my engine out tonight. 10 years ago this was much harder for me to do...lol. In other news, inside the oil pan I found metal fragments ranging from fingernail sized, to small flakes. I'm so glad my turbo gave out before my engine had the opportunity to grenade. I'll open up...

Look what showed up for me courtesy of Crossover:

Insane build! Good stuff.
