Still need:

Everything seems to be coming along smoothly.

No worries. I dont like to brag about stuff like that. I actually defended the qr on sr20 forum haha.
Whatever engine you decide to play with will get you there fast depending on how much money you throw at it, and how you address weak points.

Got the short block back today. Waiting on headstuds mid next week (sr20det rwd are 10mm, gtir are 12mm) then Ill slap the head on and add accessories, etc.
Painted zbrakes black yesterday.
Going to swap bellhousings soon.
And bought a qg18 crossmember yesterday.

All the bellhousing bolts off, and misc sensors, springs and bolts taken out too.
(notice the labeled flash cards with bolts and misc pieces taped to them too)

Annnnd how It sits now, I need to swap the internals to the p12 bellhousing, figured Id read up on it a ton more before I do anything else though (or ask my uncle or someone to supervise)
Gears seem to look fine though luckily.

Got tomei 260* 12mm cams, the engine is at a shop now, I didnt want to deal with the cam install (solid lifters require shimming and I didnt feel confident doing it)
decided to go with a different turbo too, so ill be getting a tomei m7960, if not the larger option. (I would like the response over power)
NEW! Tomei ARMS M8270 & M7960 Turbo
Gears are swapped into the p12 bellhousing now too.
Got brembos for the car too.
Got arp flywheel bolts, but the flywheel I bought was for a rear drive sr, so the bolt holes have to be bored out.

Cams, fuel rail, rocker arm stoppers, injectors, and pulleys and mounts were installed
also finished the assembly of the transmission.
Bought a drill press, and drilled out my rear drive spec aluminum flywheel bolt holes to fit 13mm bolts, installed and torqued those arp flywheel bolts, followed by the act clutch, and finally the transmission was attached with 2 bolts to test fit a rear drive sr20det starter (dont think it will work, but maybe if I cut some water neck brackets the solenoid might clear)
Also need the gasket for in between my engine and tranny...

The motor looks amazing ...I wish I had the time and money to do this....what are you building it for road course or drag?

Mounted engine... Kind of.
I need to figure out how to mount it on the passenger side and make brackets for the crossmember.

Is that and AE86 in the back
