Yes it is a WRC edition GT4! main difference you can see from this pic is the way the exhaust manifold heat shield is, different shape than others, for the lol "anti-lag".... yeeaah.....
but yeah gasket replacement kit, timing belt, cap and rotor, water pump and other misc parts

congrats dude

The "Fly Low" Project: 3rd Gen 3SGTE
well i decided on keeping it mostly stock for now, money is tight after buying the clip, a new DP is in order and i will be keeping the w2a IC setup rather than the front mount i wanted, but that will all come in due time
and to get it in really i just need to do a tune up/gaskets/timing and water pump
and i need Shift linkage for the s54 and a throttle cable and im basically set, plus fluids lol

hey Kyle, did you get the swap from ZeroLift? they had one that looks identical last week when I was at their cruise-in.

oh and are you keeping the gt-4 chassis tag or the e154f tranny?

Well i finally had a spare second tonight so i thought i would add some pics.... and its about damn time

ended up unbolting the subframe and dropping the engine out the bottom, made life alot easier

MMMH tasty

Cams look great! not a mark on them, and they were that clean when i pulled the vc

So many questions can be raised from this picture lol.....

Soooo F%cking clean


For now the name of the game is maintenance, so far a full overhaul of the timing system (idler pullys, tensioner pullys, and tensioner), swapped waterpump and seal, pulled the upper and lower oil pans and cleaned/resealed. replaced oil pump gasket, front main gasket, cam shaft seals, and other misc things. waiting now on timing belt and plugs/wires to get this show on the road.... goal is to have the motor in the second week of july, but that all depends on if i can get this transmission or not, looking for an e153, found a couple but seller backed out, back to the garage for me!
