Not much getting done, as Im wanting to source a gearbox selector bracket... until then, tiding up a few other things which will need to be done.
 
On hold now until gearbox bracket can be sourced.... or maybe I can fabricate something up

 
Going to try utilise the factor air box or at least some of it..


 
Carefully cut / dremelled out the section I need, only for the maf sensor


 

 
Should be able to make this work, will see once engine is in.....& YES it is a piece of 75mm PVC downpipe :-)

 
Also got some parts I have been waiting for. Radium 3 way 3.0 bar (43psi) FPR, & 2GR quick connector to AN6

 
4 mtr fuel hose & a bunch of AN6 fittings

Looking forward to seeing it bolted up in the bay.

 
Time for shaft modification

 
Machined groove 7mm out to locate new clip & 7mm spacer fabricated

 
Installed nicely

 
Mock fitment of subframe, to fab up manifold piping to Y pipe

 
Close up

 
Other side needs some bending....

Looking great Mike. I would suggest removing the oil cooler, dismantling it then having it ultrasonic cleaned as it get very dirty in the elements of the cooler. Also recommend removing the camshaft oil galleries in the cam covers have the same treatment as these are two places which are easily missed but can cause a lot of grief.

Thanks Steve, I'll check them out. Hopefully all good, as the engine has only 60k on it with fully service history.

Fit test on manifold, few extra sleeves to get it down to 2" piping to the Y pipe

 
Ready for a proper weld, my homemade 2GR manifold....cause Im a tight arse & didnt want to spend the $700++USD on the Gouky headers

 
Welded, fitted up perfectly... now for the otherside

 

 
Otherside tac welded in place ready to be welded

 
Welded & bolted in place

 
Happy with where it sits & plenty of clearance

 
Engine harness installed, engine ready for installation

 

Looking great Mick. Have you tested the loom yet?

Engine fully prepped, ready for install


 

 
Just in case someone want to know the coolant hose part / number. Its the coolant hose that runs up along the drivers side engine bay fire wall. Has to be slightly trimmed to fit perfectly.


 

 

 
All bolted, fuel lines to be connected, along with shifter cables, then finish off remaining boot harness connection.

This MF has so many MR2s he can afford to use one as a work bench.

Can't wait to hear what this sounds like :D

Nearly ready to fire up
 
Fuel system complete


 
ECU wired & mounted

 
Fill with fluids, finish off dash / gauges etc, then ready...finally!
