Update 23-12-2012:

Everything has been bolted together and should be going in today!

Transmission spacer installed, clutch and flywheel are in too!



Wastegate flange welded



Transmission mount spacer, OEM style baby!



Pics of the crankcase










Crank case painted, oil cooler/filter relocation in place





Now here's the horrible part.. there was a major communication issue over the phone about what I wanted to paint my intake manifold.. here's how it came out

This finished assembly of the drivetrain is looking good man (!_ . . . unconventional choice, but very unique. I kno drifters usually choose a larger displacement V8 VQ45 instead of turbo 6 . .

True, but I wanted a turbo engine and an MT and these engines were dirt cheap in the scrapyard. If I blow it, I can just snatch a new block for under $1k

RB engines also have better support in terms of mechanics & tuning
