Front iron painted, that's alot of taping for very little painting.

stopping point for that day, front housing taped off and ready for paint the next day

got the front housing painted

centre iron painted

rear iron taped up and ready for paint

front iron with the tape removed

And a preview of what it could look like once finished.

Weekend Later I started assembly of the engine.

Parts laid out

First housing on and rotor dropped in

Few less parts in the pile

E shaft dropped in

Top housing on and rotor dropped in

Even fewer parts left on the table

last iron on

Starting to run out of engine parts

oil pump on

front cover on and water pump studs in

Oil pan on

Water pump painted

water pump on and put on my longer term engine stand. I didn't like leaving the engine hanging off two bolts.

started my non sequential mods. These are the twins I picked up from a friend. The previous owner said the second turbo wasn't boosting. based off of the condition of the vacuum hoses the turbos likely weren't the problem but at least this way I know the turbo's work.

plugging the holes with some bolts just cause I'm lazy.

UIM cleaned off a bit

double throttle or whatever its called deleted as well as the thermo whatever.
