you gotta change the ones on the brown harness by the battery as well as a couple others. You'll find out which ones when you actually lay the harness in the bay and connect everything and see what reaches and what doesnt.... as far as the harness under the dash...all u really need to worry about is the speed and temp wires.... pretty much all color coded. The brown connector that I was speaking of you can find info on that at srswap.com..... same thing

p.s. the heater hoses are right, but the fuel pressure regulator vaccum line is incorrect!

Sean,

In your cardomain pics, are you using stock SR piping for your charge pipe and hot pipe?

IM me if you are one sometime, Hybrid Sol. I'd like to chat with a few other CA guys sometimes to see what they are running and any problems they encountered (besides the "Foreign Object" :) )

yes joe...the stock SR hot and cold pipes work if you use the KA flex pipe between the throttle body and the cold pipe...the hot pipe works perfectly!

I'm on AIM now if you're still around...

Good stuff! I just gotta track down a cold pipe then. I am thinking of just getting the HT hot pipe or a 5Zigen one I saw on ebay.... or there is that REALLY nice GReddy one that is polished...mmmm :)
