Figured I'd go overboard while waiting for everything to arrive.
![]() Tig welded a -4AN male fitting onto the actuators. 35 amps and someone pouring water on the actuator can the whole time. Pressure tested and all is well.

Got some work done on boxing day. The front end is off and the harness is disconnected from the engine. I'm making an engine hoist adapter later so this weekend I can pull the motor out and get it on the stand.
Plan is to bolt up the turbo's and do what plumbing mock ups i need to on the stand, then put the broken motor back in and the front end back on to sort the intercooler piping and at least get the down pipes done. ![]() ![]() Sexy CJ-Motorsport rails and the Bosch EV14's ![]() Got the fuel regulator mounted up as well

![]() ![]() Got the engine out today and started the mock up for the plumbing. I ordered the oil lines way too short so I'll have to get the correct length. The block coolant drain plugs are bspt. I'll be welding some 6an bungs to those tomorrow and drilling a hole through them to supply the turbos with coolant. ![]() It's a snug fit in here to say the least, I'll be cutting a quarter inch off the intake adapter so I can start the bend farther back, welding is the only option i see here

I got the hot side pipes mocked up for the most part. I'll make a few tweeks tomorrow and weld them all up.
Trying to get an idea if i can fit a 2.5" intake and it appears I can. I see pizza slices of tubing in my future. ![]() Problem is I need to pull the motor back out to do it I knew that going in though so no biggieI'll probably pull the motor back out weekend so i can get half of both intakes done, basically get them in front of the accessories. After that I can finish the intakes when the built motor gets here.

![]() Nothing much to update other than I have run the CJ-M fuel line and mounted the filter. I had to end up fishing a wire down from above and using it to pull the fuel line up from the bottom. It was a bit of a pain. I ended up loosening the return fitting trying to fit my hands in odd places above the tank so i have to pull the fuel hat to retighten that.

Stuff just keeps on happening that's making me spend more money. My cousin's bringing in a 20ft container of wheels for some tour operator on island (Nissan Civilian bus wheels, nothing exciting) from Japan.
I'm waiting on confirmation but a set of Work T5R 2 piece wheels and a Varis hood will be headed my way soon. It's set back buying stuff to finish assembling the motor when it gets here from AAM (timing chain/tensioner set, ati damper etc) but it's not often an opportunity like this comes along so I took it. ![]() 19x10 20mm L disc up front 19x12 20mm R disc out back I am not sure what tire I'll put on them but I need to stay out of spoolers thread cause I really don't wanna end up putting R888R's on a daily And you all know what the Varis hood looks like. In related news AAM is saying 3 more weeks and the later year ac lines have arrived that should make the drivers side intake easier to make are here.

Got caught up in the chasing numbers game, used it as an excuse to not have to remove the motor to upgrade the turbo's after this. I also still have time before the motor is finished.
I'm buying a pair of FP Greens from Husam . I need to pull off my stock cores and send off to him as well.![]() ![]() ![]() The fuel system will need to be upgraded to max these out on X85 but I'll do that later since CJ-M's twin pump setup and ID1300's will be another ~$2k. So whatever the 1000's and Walbro 485 will support is what I will run for this year. ![]() Pulled the dash to remove the center gauges in preparation for the innovate gauges. Thanks to ryanO and this thread DIY: Triple Gauge Cluster I am having the car towed to a friends shop so I can use his lift and build the exhaust next sunday. Once that is done the waiting game continues

Autox has died out, we finally ran out of places to do it. There is another drag racing association that got a gov lease on some land but they are too busy **** measuring to produce any results.

![]() Out with the old! ![]() In with the new CJ-M hotness! Walbro 450 and their return stuff installed. I have managed to send the clips for the spring rods to another dimension so I need to mod some small plastic bushings to fit before I can reassemble everything. Charles tossed in a U fitting and quick connect fitting for free when I told him I was adding a flex fuel sensor. Can't go wrong with both the quality of the parts and the customer satisfaction ![]() ![]() I'm imitating this setup having the sensor on the return. Flex fuel kit

Placed an order with AAM for their stage 1 short block! I didn't see the need for the Carillo's since I am not looking for any more loss of traction that the GTR turbo's can provide.
So while I wait for it to be built I've got my Z1 cart plum full and waiting to destroy whatever christmas bonus comes my way ![]() ARP 19 head studs Z1 valve stem seals Z1's OEM timing chain kit with all the add on's JWT C2 exhaust cam kit I sourced the full OEM gasket kit from Husam

![]() Finished up the fuel pump assembly last night. Relocating the car so we can start pulling the motor out, only to put it back in to finish all the fab work.

![]() most overkill engine hoist bracket award goes to! We pulled a vq25 out of a skyline with a much lighter duty bracket using only the 2 intake manifold studs. Thinking i might add some side pieces to use 4 more bolts though.
