Here are some good tips. One do a gsr tranny or ls transmission.b16 transmission will be. A traction nightmare. And the do a legit exhaust manifold not eBay mine has broken 2 times and had to be welded sucks its a Pain to do and remember bigger is not always better on turbos. Smaller you get a better spool and faster response.

sry if this is a no brainer question but what is spinning a rod bearing?

Connecting rod bearings are two piece bearings, and are fixed in place by tabs in the connecting rods. When someone mentions a spun bearing, they are saying the bearings have turned or 'spun' from their fixed position
