evo III 16g
SSAC FMIC
act 2600 clutch

turbo ate itself after only 700 miles, guessing oiling issue but not totally sure.

I was pushing coolant a bit so i was going to do a new head gasket, so i got the head off.

I then got to thinking and thought wth i will do a full rebuild, and things have snowballed from there. Current plan is rebuilt / upgraded internals and a minor cleanup/restore bushing job.

Engine out and bay cleaned up some, still more to do.

Result of transfer case leaking and getting mixed with dirt and coated underside of the car. Working slowly to get this cleaned up.

From left to right starting at the top, fuel lab fuel fiter with metal screen for e85, eagle rods, wiseco pistons, tial wastegate, o2 housing, hotside for hx35 bolt-on DSM, valves, bronze valve guides, revised lifters, 1200cc injectors, hx35 turbo, rebuilt 1g TB, evo III intake manifold (fits bigger 1g TB, shorter runners), hks 272/272 cams, cometic MLS headgasket, tank to rail 6an fuel line kit.

Have some more parts i will get pics of soon. Have the spindle/control arm kit comming next week. Need to get some upper ball joints and then i plan on redoing the front passanger and driver side wheel well / suspension.
 
The labro joint is the one closest to the rear diff. If you bend it it will rip.
 
It looks like you have some nice parts there. However please keep in mind you will need a block and head surface finish of 50 RA (roughness average) or finer, is recommended for a proper gasket seal. Anything rougher may conflict with the gasket design. That means dont take it to some back woods machine shop or youll blow the gasket. If you cant find someone local to do the work I would recommend the felpro gasket.
