Finally got around to coming home and completeing (starting) my RB25 swap. A few problems though. Apparently the company I went through didn't think it to be important to include a BOV or an MAF... The blow off valve is no problem, I was planning to upgrade anway but I don't have the funds for an MAF off of a Z32/Q45 as well as the fuel management system needed to run the car. Is there anyway that I could run either MAF less AFC and still manage? On top of this my friends (in the process of removing an entire front clip with an engine hoist) managed to cause signifigant damage to the lower intake manifold... :help

Don't mess around with the AFM.. get a correct one or go to the 300Z or Q45 with some compensation.You'll spend more time trygin to make the thing run correctly rather than driving it if you do a bodgy job.If you're stuck, send me an email.

BTW, whats wrong with the LIM?

Thanks for all the suggestions, but after much consideration (and discovering a few minutes ago that the very same friend also trashed my S13 headlight mounting brackets) I have decided to just buy a new intake manifold as well as MAF... Can anyone help me there?

(BTW I'll try to get a pic of it. Pretty much, it's chipped about an inch right at the seam so that there's really no chance of it holding up under pressure.)
