Hey Guy, Sorry about the HUGE delay in the build but life happens, anyway the motor is in and mounts are finished. im currently working on the trans mount and exhuast piping. as most builds go we always want bigger and better so ive decided since im running the drivers exhuast around the front anyway i might as well slap i nice size turbo on it. enjoy some of these pics of the progress so far.

mocking up the driver side mount.


mock up on the pass side


cleaned up the mounts and tacked up

Nice! I'm in the process of building an lq9/t56 for my e34 touring. My truck balancer was a PAIN to get off. I managed to use a harbor freight puller to get mine off.

Roadstars look good by the way. Been keeping an eye out for a square set of nines. They have a rad offset
