**Quick Update:**

Lots happening behind the scenes as I convert the cam setup to mechanical and get the GT30 turbo on. The lifters I need are backordered, so I’m waiting on those, but I’ve got some Supertech valves in that need machining.

I’m also designing a custom turbo exhaust manifold flange to make fabricating another manifold easier. If you’re building a 1.8, this will be available for you too.

I ordered an Elmer Racing CNC v-band collector to save time and money on fabrication.

Here are some pictures to hold you over…

Update: Hang tight! Been working wiring up the car daily. We’re almost ready for first start. Then I need to go back and rewrap the factory harness. The goal is to just post one video / vlog of the start to finish. Then we’ll get into the fun stuff!

The research has started to give the new aftermarket ECU that's on it's way control over the engine. Seems a little daunting but I feel like it shouldn't be too terrible of a conversion.

Alldata.com, not sponsored, has been a real time saver finding the diagrams and connect images I need to make this happen.

Wish me luck!

If I did a bulk purchase of 1.8 forged h-beam rods, who would all be down to buy some? Rated at 700hp, ARP 2000 bolts. Same stuff I have in my current engine. Seeing if there's a market for it.

The consensus is, more uploads, even if it's not completing a task and completed videos could be uploaded later such as, building the manifold. Let me know what everyone thinks!

I talked to my machine shop. He scolded management at JE. Luck would have it, Wisco is owned by JE and just as backed up...?
I would like to have the car ready by March 27th for Cleetus and Cars here in Houston. Any leads on a piston a manufacturer that could take care of me in time?
