Since I was putting in a new set of turbos, I decided to put in a new engine verses using one with about 80K miles on. 

To Start, I wanted the new engine to be balanced, lapped, and using a newer housings.

So, Update continues..

I pulled the engine out of my FD.. old engined worked fine. Did over 10 trackdays in a year and several out of state trips.

While it was out did could of add ons.. Like this IRP Brake MC brace.

Also added new oil coolers..

And I decided to drop the subframe to install because I needed to also change out the coilovers.

I also added Radium Competition oil catch can and IR Performance Oil filler neck

Full Function Fuel Rails for 13B-RE LIM, Full Function Oil Filter neck, and few other new parts.. Anyhow long block is ready to install

Engine in!

Also upgraded fuel system using Radium Fuel Surge tank with Bosch 044 pump inside.

Stance Super Sport + coils installed!

Engine is port matched for 13B-RE Cosmo LIM and UIM.. I'm running sequential twin set up for this.. 

Installed some polished goodies
