After some major oil issues its up and running!!!!
Heres the work I've done in the last couple of weeks:


New trd SS shocks in rear coilovers:





Air temp sensor for wideband:




Unsure If I would like going with a turbo setup - I moved all the ae101 parts I could on the motor so if I wanted to go back or go twincharge setup its almost next to nothing to switch over now -
FWD Throttle body uses the same throttle sensor as the ae101:




Moved all the pulleys and water pump from the ae101 over and I'm using the s/c mounting base so I have a tensioner pulley I'm using from a saturn so I can put enough tension on the water pump belt. The smallest belt I could get was from auto value at 27 1/2" and it was still loose which is why I need the saturn pulley which was just the right size after spending the day in the pick-n-pull. The alternator is still on the same side as the ae101 using the MR2 bracket because thats where I ran the wires for the ae101.




Heat wrapped the turbo manifold, and downpipe:




With the new turbo setup I needed a boost guage and a air/temp sensor for the wideband setup so with a 2" hole saw it fits the guages perfectly into the stock dash bezel - I like it!







While I was waiting for parts I finally put on my sideskirts I had for almost 4 years now lol





Remember the control panel I made? not every button did something - but now i needed to hook up a wideband - the machine gun switch turns it on and the HQ button is what you use to open the circuit to ground so the only button that doesn't do anything now is the self destruct (for good reasonlol):




As it sits now back with my s/c valve covers:




The things I can't take a picture of but the work I've done:
Finished finding all the oil leaks,
rebuilt the cam angle senor (thanks steve!)*reason why I spun a bearing and wondered where the oil went*
and adjusted the ride height,
installing a HKS turbo timer right now
See you at the JCCS Show in Long Beach this coming weekened!!!
