Setup on my Blue 95 Talon AWD, Any additions or suggestions?

Updated pics. Motor bolted in, a few wires hooked up but not much.

The yellow plug wires are temporary.

I'd add a stainless clutch line to the list . Also .. no need for the cam gears. I always heard the hks cams didn't need adjustable gears. so just have the stock ones painted and bling bling you are good to go.

DAMN, just now saw the pics. Car looks VERY nice!!!

There is a SS clutch line on the car

I got the cam gears so I can retard the exhaust cam to spool up faster

where / how did you mount the coilpacks?

Ok gotcha. Awesome setup man!

It is mounted on the back of the block by the timing covers. I bolted it to the block through some holes that I think were for the a/c compressor before.

ok cool. Another thing I noticed is you are feeding the turbo from the head. Any particular reason for that? I know PTE for example has a specific place on the oil filter housing where the turbo must be fed from. And what did you use to paint your block? And was it brush on or spray? Thanks man ... sorry for all these questions. I just finished my 7 bolt "experimental" build up but now I am doing my 6 bolt as a back up and I have all the time in the world to do it, so I want to do everything right and go all out with it. Thanks man.

That is where AGP sets up the oil feed to come off of, so hopefully it will be ok.

I bought satin black engine paint in a can. I sprayed it into a cup and brushed it on tho, not so messy that way.

alright cool. Thanks for the quick responses.

It is running The only thing Ive really done with it so far tho is set the base timing and fuel pressure. The MBC is at 10psi, haha. Ive only put about 20 miles on it. I need to go get plates for it tommorrow.

wow the bearings are expensive there!!

My friend got rod bearings for $20+ tax at a local autozone. They are clevites as well. Of course my dumbass went to AMS and spent $75 on a set of fm bearings
