Sorry for the blurry pics. Low-light is awful for my phone.



So, this week I took Thurs-Today off. The turbo stuff is in, but I've got a massive oil leak coming from the oil supply fitting on the turbo. It ran great for the 30 seconds that it ran, started up first time and everything.

I pulled the motor and installed:
BEGi coolant reroute with the Escalade radiatior hose that wraps around to the back of the motor.
Cam Seals
Front Seal
New Oil Pan tapped for oil return. New front and rear seals. The bearing support plate bracket for the oil pickup tube was broken. Luckily I had another to swap in.
Rear Main Seal
Flyin' Miata Stage One Clutch, pilot bushing, and throw-out bearing. I bought an output seal to put in but my seal puller wouldn't fit in to get it out. It wasn't leaking so I brushed it off.
I cleaned up all the wiring. Every single connection in the engine bay I soldered, heat shrinked, and wrapped into hidden harnesses. I also made a separate VICS controller harness that hasn't been put in yet, but it'll go in soon enough.
Stage 8 locking hardware on the turbo
Gates serpentine belt
Pulled the AC condenser and a delete tube has been ordered from Rosenthal.

I also cleaned, and cleaned, and cleaned. You can't tell but I painted the block back black. I toyed with painting it Ford Blue but I was already pushing it for time. Black would be easiest to make look clean.
