the damage:

i went through real street in the us, had really good prices and were very helpful and also gave a good discount when purchasing multiple items as you could see comparing to their website. only wish the aussie dollar was still above the us.

Real street are the bizz, I got most of my gear through them too. 
 
I also went with the BC cams but had minor issues with them.  I don't want to worry you, more of a heads up as I've not heard that anyone else has had the same issue.  Mine were etched the wrong way, so my inlet camshaft was marked as EX and visa cersa.  I picked this up pretty early on when dialing them in and when swapped they dialed in correctly.  Would be worth checking for yourself.

also just purchased a BEE R limiter off these forums, i only want it for setting the revs with the handbrake on for the drags, will be heaps easier to get off the line and get the turbo spooling up, atm i dont hit boost untill 4300ish RPM, that will prob change with all these new items.
plans are to get hks cam gears and timing belt from nengun,
water and oil pump from gorilla industries and hopefully a timing belt kit. im definitely getting these items.

i got the bee R in, and cant get it to work, has anybody installed one before, i am using a plug and play ecu, but i think that should not make a difference. here is the pin out on the ecu http://www.mr2forum.org/forum/index.php?/topic/251-9091-mr2-turbo-ecu-pinout/ it is the same as mine. here is a basic how to. http://www.driftworks.com/forum/faq-new-members-please-read/76001-bee-r-rev-limiter-fitting-guide.html. and here is the pin  out plans http://www.geocities.jp/beer_imai_sp...evlimitter.pdf

UPDATE TIME. nearly 3 years later and i started the build yesterday, dropped the motor/rear sub frame/ shocks in just over 2 hours. anyway ill let the pics do the talking.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
 
One problem is that when i bought most of my engine parts nearly 3 years ago i did not check everything, they sent me out RB26 main studs, which sucks, but if they wont replace them no biggie cause theRB26 cost nearly 3x more. 
 

 
Another is the cheap thin paper gaskets the "cometic" kit comes with. they look terrible, might have to buy some OEM ones for a few things.
 

 
Had a look at my rear brakes because my rear left wheel was heating up when driving, the piston looked nasty, all clogged up with rusty old grease mess, pulled both rear calipers apart and gave them a clean/re grease 
 

 

 

 
The good old standing in engine bay pic
 

 

 

 
motor looked ok a bit of carbon here and there, the water galleries were clogged up a bit, prob due to lack of service, (was holding out to do this build, turns out took a bit longer than planned) hehe
 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Went to check the cams and found that i had 2 intake cams in the box, at first i was pissed but after someone told me that the BC cams are like that and doing my own research i cant find anything that says its not, if anyone who has installed BC cams before could let me know cheers.
 
 

 

 
All this took a day, very impressed with my brother who is helping me out, anyone who watched MCM might reconise the garage. we also had a 1JZ there so we popped it in for some pics, TROLL the internet for a day, it went nuts on MR2OC. haha we tried to fit a 1UZ but couldn't get it in there.
 

 

 
 
Next is waiting to sort out main stud issue then off to machine shop.

Turbosmart shared it on their fb. It's so funny. I mean it's not impossible but prob going cost like 50k to just get it to fit with custom gearbox and everything that goes with it. Cause there is a pic of the motor sitting in Bay some people actually believe it. My bro posted it on a public fb page so it's getting around now. Lol
