They are in fact your old Shoguns.
What would you be asking for just the bottom end of your built motor?

Let me get back to you in about 2 months. Thats very tempting. Any clue on shipping costs?

I need to make some serious headway on this project if Im going to get it done in time for the possible PF meet. I refuse to be Probeless at a Probe gathering so I guess absolute worst case scenario Ill just grab another ebay turbo and slap in the old setup temporarily if I dont think I can get it done in time.
In other news, Im almost done with the harness work. Ive shaved off a ton of extra stuff so its starting to finally look nice and neat. I need to track down some kind of heat resistant sleeving next.
Upgrading the wiring for the alternator, starter, fuse box and battery was started today. Going 4g throughout with some nice new high-strand count cable. Just ordered a bunch of nice terminal ends as well as a power distribution block to keep things tidy.
Ordered a MHI flange last week which came in on friday. Ill probably run out to my work tomorrow and start chopping some things up and do some test fitting, maybe even get the front turbo mounted. Due to so many clearance concerns, I will probably have to wait until I bring the engine and trans back home to get the rear turbo set up.
Since the stock turbo on the F2T runs fairly low boost, I will probably adapt a pair of those to the 14Bs. With a 7psi spring in the old EWG and the losses through the intercooler/piping etc I was seeing around 5.5psi at the manifold so I would expect similar results using the 7.3psi F2T actuator.

Got some 1G wastegates on the way due to their relatively low stock boost. Saves me $70+ apiece over some less reliable china actuators.
So yeah, thats about it for now. Slim chance Ill do some work on the rear setup this week. Need to do some measurements on the car and then pull off the rear mount from the car and bolt it to the trans to address inevitable clearance issues.

Engine bay wiring is 99% done. I still need heat shield wrapping for the rear portion as a precaution for the anticipated heat from the rear turbo. All the extra wiring add-ons are now blended seamlessly. Got my other turbo flange in today so I might be able to mount the rear turbo this week. If that happens, Ill bring the motor home and begin figuring out the piping.

I ran the chrome swirlies until they rotted. Loved the Orange Konigs but they faded to a light peach in less than a year. Then the Shoguns came along...

Oil/ coolant lines for the front turbo. It all wraps nicely behind the turbo so its nearly invisible from the top. Picking up fittings for the rear line tomorrow. http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c2...ps71c61002.jpg
Really pushing to begin engine reinstallation in a week or two. I guess Im going to have to buy a second air filter.
