Can you take care of my car also?!
Really nice bits there and i think more is comming....

 

[mgpdoc]

So some more boxes



Sorry China





Let's see what's inside them









Transmission mount









Engine mount





I love the quality of these things



I will also be using the Audi TiAL 50mm BOV and bought a new Aluminum Flange for it as well



Bought some of this



Well ok, not just some of it



Yes I wont forger dear DEI



Then some rods



Good old IE rods that have done the trick with great success over years



Nothing fancy to show you here



Threw some bearings in there as well



And then I also found this



Which is not the VF one I went for initially cause they were not in stock

Great quality to be honest





And then a place for the turbo to sit on





More to come guys

Cheers

I think I found my engine oil while wondering around in the garage



Oh there they are



Motul 300V Chrono 10W40 and these for the first round of drinks for the engine



Then it was time to move to the front end



And test-fit the mounts from the oem IC and see if everything would work like it should



AC radiator on top of them



And done



Next the radiator and fans assembly





Then it's a matter of chopping in order to fit this serious size IC from PTE



and everything will come together



Then some work on the car till engine is back from the machine shop



Feel free to call me crazy



But I will do what i did with the Audi and loved it



Look again















Whereas some more things arrived







Still missing the two shiny things that will sit on the exhaust manifold.

Cheers

So I have a rather big update to show you. Let's document it in two parts

This beauty arrived



In matching colour with my Audi BOV



All springs included



Wait is this new ?



No but look at this cleaning



And look at those billet ones



Brand new



Crank all polished up



Cylinders ready as well - 83mm now



And head is ready as well



Let's move things to Tom's Garage for the beginning of the assembly





Cleaning everything and checking all oil routes again and again



Old school assembly oil



ARP goodness and starting from bottom end to top







A close up before final torquing to spec



Let's check for tolerances







Then, moving on, it was time for these



Tom adjusted the rings himself as always



More on the update to follow . . .​

 

[mgpdoc]

Pistons rings installed



Lets open those ARP bolts





ACL Race bearings



Putting everything together





Time for the pump assembly



New Pump tensioner, for sure



Done



New gasket for the rear of crank



Put some glue in the sump



Install it



Play with cat until it is dry



Install more parts



drink a beer and enjoy





Audi was very jealous needless to say



Lets mate that engine block with something else



Let's say this



But first let me put some ARP studs in there



And a gasket



Hello supertech valvetrain



Lets throw some cams in there



Test fitting cam cover



and ARP bolts



Closer look



Put some glue in there



And close it off



Lets get ready for installing belts etc



Found my timing belt on the 2JZ





ARP crank bolt painted to remind us to bolt it to spec later



Torqued down along with the crank pulley bolts



Let's install that painted side cap too





Time to install the exhaust manifold





I love new hardware



Something is obviously missing



WG adapter is also not here


​

 

[mgpdoc]

Sit back and admire what you did







New Oil housing installed



Oil cooler installed as well



New hardware on knock sensors



New thermostat



Engine is done



Waiting for the turbo for the fabrication to continue.



Cheers​

Mike, how and when do you actually get time to work? Between the build and posting your progress on here, I'm amazed at how you would get time to do anything else.
All that aside, as said by others "WOW!".
