if the kit came with an engine, why are you swapping. The vr4 is a twin turbo. If the kit didnt come with an engine then i'll shut up now.
Keep us posted on how it come out. I wanna build that kit later on.

heres a better pic of what its looking like
but blury

i am having to make intercooler pipes, and that is taking a long time, also, i have lost a part of the engine, prolly the cat took it like he does to every thing else



here is a real VR4 engine, i am missing the chrome thing that is circled


I have also found that i will have to make a fire wall, and some thing to help hold then engine inside the car

a lot of work, but i think it will be worth it

Is it just missing from the box or you lost it.

I ordered my engine from racinresins.com and it came with that.

That would be called the intake manifold
