ok ok!! here are some new ones.

So far I got the v-bands all welded up, turbo manifolds bolted down, replaced the rotten p/s line for a silicone one, and some extra bling (p/s pulley, p/s belt guard, and crank pulley chromed).

There's so many variables that I have little control over but I'd say I'm looking at about a month and 1/2.

I was just looking at JDM engines and found the engine you're using lol. I had no idea you could get them for so cheap. The demand for this engine is even less than that of for the rb20det lol. Maybe I'll just copy your swap and say *** the vq lol. Hope you have kept all of your measurements while in the process of making this swap. You could make and sell pleanty of parts and/or a kit to help people with this swap.
