Just received an e-mail from Will at JHH. After a lot of miscommunication and non-communication... My block is assembled... And my head has been ported, guides installed and valve seats cut. All that is left is the clean and final assembly! :):):):):)

bababababannnnggg!

I'm confident! :)

Put the tensioners on tomorrow or monday if I get a chance then the head can go on, put the timing belt on, make sure the pistons dont hit the valves (important step lol) and then I'll be running out of excuses. May take the Skyline off the road next time I'm home from work and pull the other engine out, send the clutch away and have it ready to put the new one in the round after

I REALLY am running out of excuses not to finish it now

More photos, today made some pretty big steps :)

Manifold and turbo arent bolted on at the moment, just there for some final alignment/modifications. So hopefully will pull the car off the road next time I'm back from work, work out the dump/wastegate setup and then get it all happening :)

Looks like an dirty old diesel turbo Cal.

Get off the drugs :P

I'm keen for first startup but will be a bit nervous as well to see if the oil control is gonna be alright.

I've always been a fan of s15's. They feel alot faster with minimal mods compared to skylines at least. 3071 and supporting mods would be fun enough

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...
