I'm a dumb ass and have no idea what I'm doing... This is the first motor I have ever put together.... :bigthumb:
The new build! Ultimate 10 second street car!

Post 80 was made from post 79. Go back and read, it wasn't an insult, if you're taking it that way, I have nothing more to say.
The ...... Is what made me take it the wrong way. It really doesn't bother me at all though really. I'll build motors the way I was taught to and you can do the same 
Devin,
With the amount of power you plan on pushing, have you thought of a full flow oil system? What about keeping radiant heat down?

I'm running a full flow oil system right now. I plan on adding a cooler if oil temps get out of where they should be.
For people that can base 4g63 (or any other motors) to 7m's

What does that have anything to do with my build? To bad they don't make a 4G63 to A340E adapter otherwise I'd be all over it.

Got the front cover cleaned up, sand blasted and installed. Cleaned up the water pump and installed it as well. Put the oil pump drive pulley on and crank timing gear along with the tensioner. Took the head apart and cleaned it up. Going to wire brush off the valves, lap them and put it together tomorrow. I forgot I didn't get valve seals and by the time I remembered everyone was closed that I have accounts with. Autozone had felpro's but didn't want to pay full price. Ill just get them tomorrow morning.
Got the ARP's in and the head gasket on.
Set the head on and mocked up the turbo fits great on the stock manifold, Just hope it clears the shock tower, If not I got a mini sledge that will take care of that.

Thanks, Im running the stock manifold with a CNC milled CT26-t3 Adaptor. The manifold has a External waste gate flange welded onto it. I don't see the stock manifold Maxing out at 400HP...
You can see the wastegate here
Adapter is on the right next to the turbo.
Same manifold with the CT26, old setup

Update, Got the head all together, Checked for leakage at the seats and installed and torqued down. Just got home from the shop, Made decent progress. Everything else is super easy from here on out so should have it buttoned up tomorrow.
Thanks dude,
Didn't do much tonight. Got all the buckets and shims installed, checked the valve lash and installed the gears and timing belt. Going to work out the valve cover situation tomorrow and get the pan on as well. Then just start bolting external stuff on to get it ready to put in.

Not to rain on your parade or sound like a "know-it-all". I think the wastegate could be placed a little better on the manifold. Wouldnt you get better control of the exhaust gases and where they travel if the flange was closer to the turbo and more to the middle of the manifold?
This is just a thought, I really am not an expert. I am sure there is a reason its placed where it is.

Say you have a pool and there is a hole in the bottom,Is water going to leak out? Doesn't matter where in the bottom of the pool the hole is, water is still going to leak out. Yes the ideal place would be right off the middle at the collector. Would I notice any difference in control of the exhaust gases, most likely not. It works just fine. I was running 18 lbs on my CT26, It did not spike 1 psi over the target boost ever. Before with the internal gate to run 18 psi I had to spike it to 23 and between shifts it would spike 3-4 PSI as well because its automatic and it loads/unloads the engine between shifts.
Devin is there a reason why you're sticking with the stock mani? Is it to save the cash or prove a point? I'm sure tube manifolds would flow a lot better. I do like the external on the stock manifold though, I've thought about doing it but never really did it.
