Your welcome. Thats a great deal on those parts, if I was in your position I would have grabbed that too. Is there still a decent supply of 4g64 blocks out there or was that a pain to source?

I found a virgin one from a wrecking yard on eBay for $390 shipped. They've gone up a bit, but they're still pretty easy to find.

ouch, sorry to see this happened to you. Looks like you have a solid plan though and it wont become some 5+ year project to get back on the road. So for your mivec conversion, are you planning on replacing the main harness, or just buying the necessary connectors, wiring them up and re-pinning the ecu connectors? If its the ladder i found this site which seems to have a good assortment of OEM connectors http://www.ohm-racing.com/?product_c...rs-evo-viii-ix also Im pretty sure spoolinup could get you the connectors.
OP: Nice Autocross build, if you need any help/question with the wiring we can help you through email.

Thanks! It's not so much an autocross specific build anymore though lol. I did one track day and I focus more on doing about 3 of those per year, and I go to autocross when I the local region is on of the lots where they usually have a higher speed course. More of a "I do everything with it" car now.
I actually ordered ISCV and TPS connectors for another car from you guys a few months ago.

ER got a pile of parts in today for me. Waiting on rods and the ATI damper to ship me everything. Then I'm just waiting on pistons which are about another 4 weeks out. Will give me lot of time to take my car apart, clean up the mess, get harness and ECU switched out, get the cylinder head done (head games said ~3 weeks), etc.
Also, the trans and tcase are going to TRE for a refresh. Trans will be getting 4.31 final drive, 1:1 straight cut 4th, Evo 9 5th, and possibly an Evo 9 1st.

nothing like a healthy rivalry to keep a project on the rails. Im really interested to see how you end up liking that 4g64 higher final gear combo.

I had the 4.11 for a bit a couple years ago, but the stock 2.0 just didn't have the torque for the 10% taller gear. I think the 2.2L with 500wtq should be fine with a 5% taller final drive.

Tear down is planned for Sunday. Well, getting the engine out of the car at least. Damage will be assessed and pictures posted.
