Is anyone actually interested?

Oversize valves?
Yep, 1mm.
Apparently the valve stems were worn and getting thin. So, kind of lucky/unlucky I pulled the engine down.
Lucky, because I wouldn't want to drop a valve into a piston.
Unlucky, because the knock I though was bearings, was a loose cam gear.

I see twin manifolds, I sad now [emoji20]
 
Already set up for twins.
Means I can drop it in, start it up and drive.
Rather than having to get exhaust modded and tune again.
Also, they're big twins [emoji4]
If that helps

Even more sad now, will be big lags
They're not too bad(considering)
I'd equate the lag to a 6766 on a 26
And similat power output on 98.
The 30 bottom end certainly helps.
I still have a 6boost single manifold.
If I keep the car, will probably go single again one day.
Oh, I also cant afford the turbo and head work I'd like to really take advantage of a single.
And cant beat the stock look of direct replacement twins.

Gold:

Had a hole in the rear dump pipe welded, which meant i could finally fit it all up.

Installed both turbos, dumps, merge pipe, turbo oil drain hoses, oil feeds.

Front dump pipe was fouling the rear turbo(swapped the hip dumps that were originally on these turbos to the nismo turbos in the white car as it will see track use).
'Clearenced' it with a hammer.
Came up ok.
Can see in the pics how close it still is.
These turbos are massive.
I finally put factory rear housing heat shields on, and they touch and bend on the rear housing due to the size.

Anyway, keep those questions coming.

XXX I cant afford a big single and decent gear box yet, so staying twins for now. One day XXX

Are you 100% the correct dump is on the correct turbo?
Yep.
Had a small clearance already in it.
And the longer to the rear, as usual.
I suspect they're just big housings.

Gold:

Fit the IAC assembly.
Placed on harmonic balancer.
Fit alternator belt
Fit oil filter
Fit drivers engine mount
Fit rear head drain.

Not much left now.
Have to tighten the balancer and try and get a joiner for the rear head drain hose.
Then, its ready to drop in.20181008_174503.jpg

Celebratory skid? It's standard SAU practice

Put the T in the head drain and rear turbo hose.
Hunting around for an option that would fit due to the different sizes in the hoses.
19mm brass T was about $65.
Went to bunnings and found pretty much what I needed for $6.
Required a little modding, but got there in the end.
Wrapped in heat wrap due to the proximity to the turbo dump pipes.
Being street driven, should be ok.

Also, tightened the harmonic balancer. 20181009_170559.jpg20181009_174119.jpg20181009_174551.jpg20181009_174600.jpg
