Yep! It will definitely be ready by spring. Hopefully I'll have the engine in by the end of this month or early January at the latest then ill just need a turbo and a tune and she'll be driveable :-)

okay here's a little update on where things are sitting with the engine build, where the car sits for supporting mods, and my winter plans on what I want to get done to it.
the long block is basically assembled and ready to have the cams degreed (pending funds for now). I just ordered a bunch of miscellaneous little gaskets and o-rings needed from white bear mitsu. I want to get this thing as put together as possible.
I'm not changing much other than the engine and turbo.
Map stage 2 Short block:
.020 over wiseco 1400hd 8.5:1
Pauter xbeam
Stock crank
Main girdle
Cylinder head:
Ferrea springs and retainers
Ferrea competition plus +1mm valves
Comp 101400 camshafts
Adjustable cam gears
Full port and polish
Turbo system:
Turbo???????? (previous turbo: garrett gt4294 .91 a/r)
Red jack racing tubular top mount t4 manifold
Tial 38mm wastegate
4in vband down pipe
Intake system:
Redjack racing fmic
3in intercooler piping
Jmfab drag intake manifold
Q45 throttle body
Fuel system:
Twin walbro 310lph fuel pumps (not verified)
Larger fuel line
Larger fuel rail
F.I.C. 2150cc injectors
Aeromotive fpr
Aeromotive fuel filter
Tuning:
AEM ems
Drivetrain:
Powertrain technology twin disk clutch
Shep stage 4 transmission with welded diff
Shifter bearings
Scatter shield
winter plans for it are:
getting cams degreed, new clutch disks, and clutch fork and get the engine back in the car asap
Fix or replace my wideband
Fix my fuel pressure gauge inside the car
Fix tachometer
Put some carpet in it to clean up the interior a little
Full blown dual pump hanger to get rid of the rusty modified stocker
run new wiring for the fuel pumps
basically do everything to take care of the voltage drop I was getting at the pumps as possible then just for some added security I think i'm going to get a boost a pump too
and then get a new turbo. I'm still open to any ideas or suggestions here! so feel free to chime in ! I'm still leaning towards a bw 67mm s400sx but the fp hta4294 looks like another very reasonable option. Others that are floating around in my head (but will need to intake and exhaust) are the pte 6466, pte 6766, and fp hta3794.
guess thats it for now. sorry for the long post lol

Is that manifold divided t4? If its open, you could pair it with a divided turbo and a QSV to help with spool for streetability.

Honestly i dont remember. I think it is open but I will double check next time I'm up at the car. I've heard of the quick spool valve but no idea how it works lol.

Just a boost actuated valve that blocks off one scroll of a divided turbo, effectively reducing the AR of it (which we all know increases spool) until boost kicks in and it opens up allowing both scrolls to flow when at full boost.
Id like to get one but they are expensive.
