I've decided to take the stock motor out of the car - the transmission needs to be rebuilt, and I need to cannibalize some parts from the 7-bolt 4G63 that's in the car now for my 4G64T build. Here's a couple of pictures before I started to work on it, sort of a "before" set. As you can see, it's a bone stock 4G63T. There's a K&N filter element and some Magnacores on it, but they don't count. "After" will come when there's nothing but a hole there.

When I get the '64 in there, I'll do an "after after" shot. :)

Today I drained all the fluids, removed the battery, battery tray, radiator, radiator hoses, fans, airbox, MAF, and the turbo inlet and intercooler hoses. I also temporarily swapped the ECU with a 95 EPROM ECU (for DSMLink, obviously) before I brought the car completely down - and the car started, so the EPROM ECU's good. There's more work to do, but I feel like I've accomplished something today.
