Well here I am again. After spending a nonstop year working on my house, I got so burned out I didn't want to do anything. I realized a couple of weeks ago how little enjoyment I got from the house and how miserable that had made me. I decided to put my efforts into something that I would enjoy. To recap, here's a list of current mods.
Rebuilt engine using all mitsu parts 90 oil filter housing with an aftermarket cooler Ported 14b EVO3 Exhaust manifold+O2 housing 2g maf 3" intake pipe Socketed EPROM ECU 510CC injectors 48PSI FPR Walboro 255HP pump Two years ago I put the car aside after several setbacks, namely the oil pump pulley fallin off after the initial rebuild, then the oil pump locking up after the head swap. I finally have worked up the courage to start on her again. I ran the oil pump last night with the drill and was able to get oil to flow out of the turbo, so the system is well primed. The bottom end turns over free. The cams and crank looked to be 1-2 teeth off from eachother before I pulled the timing belt, so the valves should be fine. At this point I need to: Finish putting the oiling system back together Put the transfer case and exhaust back together Put the timing components back together pump out the gas tank and replace with fresh  burn a chip for it Fix my intake problems move the battery to to trunk(stupid galant battery placement) hope like hell she'll start!!!! if she starts...... Pull all of the tires and seperage the break pads from the rotors air up the tires boost leak check stir and enjoy  I'd like to have all of that done by the end of the month. If I can hit one thing a night, I'll get it done pretty quick. -------------------- GVR4 866/1000 = the perpetually broken car

Thanks guys, I'll be over in the next week or so to pick up chips Marcus. Tonight I got the turbo oil line tied back in. Oil pump parts are all put back together. Cranked the pump again to make sure all is good. Put the crank pulley back on. At this point its all ready for a timing belt. Cams are in place(and they turn nice and free).
Tomorrow I'll put on the timing belt and motor mount. I'd like to think I'll get the transfer case back on also. -------------------- GVR4 866/1000 = the perpetually broken car

Progress is good! We need to get together once it's running, hell it should be a board get together/event since it's been so long coming....
 When your all caught up we need to get that "race gas" chip burnt for my car.

I haven't messed with it, but I guess this will give me motivation to do it. Marcus, PM me your new number. I got Evan's voicemail the other day.

Fresh gas and a fresh chip yielded good results. After 45 seconds of idling her at 2000-3000 the lifters pumped up and she sounded pretty smooth. I shut her down at that point so as not to die in my garage. I guess I need to break the breaks lose and see if she'll move.
With any luck, she'll be plated on Tuesday. -------------------- GVR4 866/1000 = the perpetually broken car

Maybe she need the upgraded lifters...
Motor pulling ok? I know you were slightly concerned about dinging a valve. -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???

this head was suposed to have 3g lifters already in it. Its still only run a total of 3 minutes. It may just need to run. I'm planning to run her around the block tomorrow. I'll let you guys know how that goes tomorrow.

Yeah, it might just need some time. It took probably 20 min of driving for my 3g lifter to settle down.
