As for the rest of the day today I got the flywheel and clutch in and assembled the transmission and starter motor. Also was able to mount up the FMIC and i believe these are the first pictures of the timing belt on with the HKS cam cover and new oil cap:hellyeah:

I decided to dye my carpet black while the car was apart and it turned out magnificent! (Rit Dye procedure and then touched up with duplicolor fabric) Here is the carpet before btw lmao :ohdamn:

Yah its from a 4g63 out of a 98 eclipse gsx from Japan. I am noticing a few things different that i have to work around. The crank pully is a little different, some brackets, intake manifold, etc. hopefully wont run into any problems when i go to drop it in and connect the harness and what not

Like where is it running from?

Lets see a final shot of the fp mani Turtlebain and how you cured it whenever its done. Im still debating saving coin with this option or ceramic coating for big $$

Just an update as of today. So i found out the intake manifold that came with the imported Japanese engine doesnt have an egr port and since in needs to pass emissions i am using my stock 2g mani. Cleaned it a up with my throttle body and installed in on the head along with my fuel rail and fic...

Unsure what the rusted box to the right of my horn is and if I should be replacing it or not. May be a headlight relay or something but not sure? Any help appreciated

My dads lift to start which was a bonus. I used varsol, blue paper towels, and a scrapper. Was probably a 2 hour annoying process because it was everywhere. I then took the pressure washer to the engine bay and wheel wells to get the tough grease off all the suspension components and what not...
