You do the same ;)
OK I will, my project thread it got to 500 so just half as yours, I guess Legend Turbo threads are more popular :yes: and what I'm doing is not very common but it is the first knowed NSX/Legend swap.

I guess both threads are very popular forgot the visits :lol: .

Nah its just the G2 is more popular. If you were putting an NSX in a G2 it would have as many views:yes: Truth is I forget to ever check the G1 forum, the only reason I go there is for your thread, and to see if anyone else is working on new ideas.

@Telion Keep it up!

Not sure how or why I overlooked this until now but I figured I would share.

If you look really close at the diagram it gets air from the breather valve and routes it according ly with a plunger that is hot coolant activated that comes from the drivers side head. Lol I actually already had it blocked off because I never switched where it connects to the head over from my TI head. What I am going to do though is leave that part that it connects to on the TII head so I can use that as a T-off line for the drivers side turbo coolant line. I already T'd off the passenger side.

For those that may not know here is a pic of what I am referring to
Rear water outlet that is circled in red

Yeah alot of turbos are both water (coolant) and oil cooled. I won't be hooking up the coolant side for a while though.

Well about an hour ago while making the final preparations to fire it for the first time I encountered a defining moment one that will certainly prolong the time before my car will be done for who knows how long now.

I always hand turn the crank before firing it up after a in depth build in case there is or was something I had missed and while doing so it locked. I never pulled the timing belt off this time so it is very possible that whatever happened to the tranny was a result of something that happened first to the engine. I am not sure if I am going to tear it down and rebuild as is or go ahead and hold out till I can get the heads and TII manifold redone. I do know though that she will be down for quite some time. I will finish the build though so there is less work to do once I put it back together :( and here I thought tonight was going to be the night that I would get to fire it up for the first time in 6 months. Well I am going to bed.
