Great looking car Dylan!

Here are a few more pictures from this afternoon after the car got dropped off. the engine also got buttoned up. Hopefully it'll be getting mated to a transmission sooner than later, then comes the fun part.

very nice project. I noticed you have an early m20 with the stamped metal cam gear and oil pump drive gear. I suggest you upgrade to the sinter gears. There is history of people whose gears failed. Especially with a turbo you don't want that to go.

Thanks for the heads up, the motor is actually an '88 SETA bottom end, and the top end is updated, as it's an m20b25 top end.

Your bottom end still has the cast oil pump drive gear, you should replace it and make sure to tighten that gear really good and with thread locker so it doesn't come loose.

Rad build. Subb'ed for greatness.

Its an ebay turbo manifold, its the same one Wobbie used on his turbo M20. It fit for him so am using the same one because it works.

We're running an ebay manifold. It's an internal wastegate one, but we'll have to cut a hole to mount the wastegate. We we'rent sure on space so I can add it in later on when we figure out placement. I talked it over with others who have done m20 turbo 2002's and ran what they're running.

Actually the oil drain but it's all good. Hopefully I'll keep cleaning the bay this week. Looks like we won't be able to work on it next weekend, headed to Spokane to pick up my s62 and 6 speeds.
