Update:
AEM EMS here
partially filled o-ringed and arp'd 4g63 shortblock here
OEM crank here
Ported head with 1mm over valves here
Vband manifold here
SMIM here
2g auto awd transmission, tcases, etc.
Still need to order for shortblock:
Pistons, rods, bearings. Have assembly balanced. Assemble engine.
Longblock:
cams, gears, head studs, gasket
Drivetrain:
Center driveshaft modification/creation (aluminum)
Swap around some axle bits to get the fronts to work.
Swap out my 5 speed diff for a 6 speed diff (here)
Fuel:
Drop tank, clean, install hellcat pumps
New lines (need to buy and install)
Injectors (need to buy)
Chassis:
Finish wiring delete. Install AEM and 4g63 harness
Misc:
Exhaust piping, intercooler piping.
It's coming along but been busy bass fishing and working on the ranch. It'll be ready for single digit 1/4 mile passes when it's ready is my motto.

Wow this is a cool build I’m looking forward to seeing it at the track. Keep up the progress!!!!!
Your goals seem very achievable have your considered other ECU than AEM?

Oh yeah. I just got this for cheap to get the ball rolling. Not an end all solution by any means.
Project update:
Longblock parts are here or on the way.
Rotating:
Weisco 1400HD pistons
FFWD Aluminum Rods
Stock uncut 6 bolt crank
ACL Bearings
Straight cut oil pump gears, "race" rear balance shaft
Block:
1/2 filled
O ringed
Kiggly Main girdle
ARP's
Head:
Kelford 280/276 cams
Kelford springs/retainers (1030's to start)
1mm over intake/exhaust valves
SMIM with dsm throttle body
Trans:
2g Auto
3 speed conversion
Kiggly 5 friction clutch pack to start
Welded center diff
Translab shift kit with IPT mods
Kiggly Billet diff support saddle
Line pressure to the moon
Trying to find a place to shot peen transfer gears until billet ones are available to buy
T-case is getting a frontline fab brace to start. I may send out my spare to boostin for the 300m upgrade. I'll think about that stuff Q4 2022/Q1 2023 when I have a motor and trans in the car. Lots to get before that.
I have a JM Fab TiAL v band manifold here. Thinking I'll go with a Borg Warner S372 with a .85 housing or so to start the party. Keep it simple 4" exhaust side exit. Still air to water.
Twin Hell cat pumps. -10 an feed to rail. 2150's most likely for injectors to start. Will most likely convert it to COP with R35 coils.
Things still to order:
Turbo setup
Radiators/coolers
Piping
Alternator relocation kit
DSS Center shaft
Suspension
Then to do a bunch of wiring and plumbing. The rest of this month will be getting the rotating assembly balanced and the block at the machine shop to validate the line hone is still good with the girdle. Will have the crank checked of course as well.
Get a longblock together and trans put together before Thanksgiving. Hope to have that in the engine bay to really start to make some progress. Will eventually need to weigh the car so I can figure out torque converter stuff.

Whats the axle and driveshaft solution for fitting 4g63 stuff in one of these?

A few different options. Bolt on mounts exist. Depending if you are going automatic or manual you use one of the two rear ends available in the vr4 version.
Axles work with mitsubishi components. Generally a FWD pass axle and some cup swapping to make the driver side work (assuming you are starting with a TT chassis, another route is to go with a Non turbo chassis and its a bit easier as hubs clear, but then you're fwd).
AWD - move the yoke to match the dsm driveshaft. Or talk to DSS and have a shaft made to replace the front 2.
Of course I haven't finished all this, just research. Will post my results here as the drivetrain goes in. Confident it'll work out.

Good call to ditch aem, Fuel techs are good equipment.
Assuming you are making a new harness too?

Yes sir. Completely new harness. Finally just finished removing all the miles of factory wiring. I'm keeping lights and power windows for the pit lanes. Everything else deleted. OEM harness to the rear, new to the front and the window motors.

This is awesome, I remember seeing this thing on the LSE dyno.
So cool you got it back! Keep up the good work

Well sad news. Sold the car.
Happy news.
Have a Miata I'm running HPDE in and building for Time trials and W2W.
Also went back to a LS powered asset and have a 2001 Formula in the garage.
Both are getting turbos.
