Those are reinforcement tabs they put on the new ones. Helps stop cracking at the seam.

The SCM61 is quite a bit bigger than the 50 trim, it is a sizeable upgrade.
I also have some FIC 950cc injectors I will be selling. Toss me a PM.

well things have kinda been pushed back a while due to lack of funds. But come april my bday present to myself is to have a running vehicle, So its all set up, the tranny will be back by the first week of april.
New exhaust (3" apexi n1), wideband O2, sensors and Southbend clutch will also be here first week of april or so. Then i will go balls deep into getting it complete before the 15th of april, then get the bastard tuned and registered.

Ok so tomorrows the day. Everything happening in one day. Too bad i dont have a web cam to put in a live feed.
I looked back on the first post of this thread and said "Holy shit, i had no idea what i was getting into." One month turned into three months of being down.
I have stuck by the same principle, Leave Nothing To Chance.
So far i have Removed the engine completly, got the tranny, Wideband, New Exhaust, Southbend clutch, Turbo Timer, New Plug wires, Air filter, etc etc etc. i have every part that i need.
Its just wierd to be at the end of the project finally. Im sure after 15 pots of coffee it will be done and ill do a street tune to get me by until i can get on a dyno, which with the Wideband it will be much easier then guessing that the A/F is fine. LOL

I have to go pick up my clutch this morning. Ill try and post up pics this afternoon.

[tpunx99GSX]

FUCK, just got back and he ordered the exhaust for a 89-94 GSX by accident.
I called Extremepsi and they want me to ship it back to them and then they will inspect it for damage and then ship me the right one but ill incur the shipping charges. this fucking sucks.

I agree. But Tom. This is why you DON'T throw away stock parts..

[tpunx99GSX]

Well luckily Apexi is located in Orange County. They are taking this one and giving me the right one for free. They are pretty cool.

[tpunx99GSX]

Ok the motor is in, but there is still much to do. It seemed like it was going to happen today but with the late start because the clutch still needed to arrive before starting, and with my roomate being gone for a couple hours. I ended up getting the engine in the bay and almost in all of the mounts by myself, my roomate arrived just in time to help finish getting everything lined up.
The magnus mani and fuel rail are mounted, the exhaust mani and turbo are mounted. Now it gets down to all of the details. Which sucks.
I was a complete idiot when i took this motor apart, i managed to lose a LOT of bolts. So tomorrow after i go to Apexi to pick up my exhaust i gotta go to Home Depot and pick up a shit ton of bolts. Also my new rims arrive tomorrow (Project2g is trading my GSX rims for the chrome rims that came on his car, because he is going to put those on the car he is selling)
Looks like im taking the day off tomorrow as well.
