Here is all that is left for my RB to run. some of the stuff is easy. such as driveline bolts, piping, clutch line etc.

put 2 driveline bolts inintake pipe. (what do you guys use for intake pipes?)radiator fan zip ties90 Deg 3" pipe for intercoolerZ32 fuel filtertrans fluid (what do you guys use, and what amount? i was gonna do MT90)Throttle cable- the motor has a greddy intake manifold, what throttle cable bracket, or adapter do you guys use?clutch line (removed it to do the 2j swap, threw it away)missing 1 relay by the ecu. the wiring harness had 2 spots for relays, so 1 is missingmy dipstick is broken. need a new one.. anyone have one?exhuast. what downpipe do you guys use? the swap came with one, but its only 2.75". always had 3" on my cars, cept the 4" on the 2j. wanted to keep the 3" idea.

the Throttle cable, exhuast, intake pipe, oil dipstick, and fluid amount are the questions that i really have.

can anyone shed some light on these for me?

Intake pipe is typically aluminum with bead rolled edges to keep the couplers from blowing off. Diameter is up to you.

What chassis? The S14 throttle cable fits the Greddy IM better than the S13. Both will stretch to make it though.

4 qts of transmission fluid. I use Royal Purple Max Gear oil because it is readily available. Lots of others swear by Redline.

Bend a new clutch line with inverted flare fittings. Shouldn't be too tough if you are good at flaring the ends.

Have a larger dp fabricated. 2.75" is lame. jk If it fits, run it for now and upgrade later.

No idea on the dipstick.

The throttle cable is my main concern. its just not long enough. i have the back nut all the way back, and its about 1/8" too short. if i put it on the bracket, the throttle body is held open. thanks for the gear lube amount. i will go get some MT-90 today.

it is an s14 chassis. the intake tube is kinda akward because its a different turbo. ill just prolly end up making one custom.

the downpipe question i had is will an sr20 downpipe work? i have seen people mention it, but havent ever seen a write up on it
