It really does look good. I don't think I've seen a cleaner engine bay. I don't mean the paint. I mean like the engine and hose etc. it looks brand new lol. There's like no dirt anywhere.

During this whole build what was the most difficult thing?
I'm really interested in doing this by taking out most of the parts from my lsj (I want to turbo swap that) so I think parts wouldn't be so hard for me but I'm also not very experienced with motor stuff.
Do you think this is something an average person can tackle with little knowledge?

Nothing was difficult other then putting the shorter belt on.
Many things were frustrating because there was limited and bad info posted.
The intake manifold was hitting the Starter cable connector but I caught it right away as it wouldn't quite go flush against the head. Loosened the starter battery cable nut and rotated it. Imaging what could have happened if not caught when the battery cable was reconnected?

Work I did before the supercharger. The seat I redid first was the passenger side which was a lot worse then the drivers side. Then I found as SS interior and never installed them.

This is round number 3. I supercharged my car with a kit and had it running in a weekend. It was easy. But of course it wasn't fast enough so I got a TVS. To use the TVS I needed forged internals and somewhere along the line I started burning oil so am starting fresh with a new engine. What I am doing is slightly more involved than just installing a supercharger. I've had that damn supercharger and components on and off so many times I could install a supercharger kit with my eyes closed

I've had 4 different superchargers on my car lol. It's been taken apart so many times.
