Motor is in, mounted up and ready for wiring. Also, the FMIC piping I got from ebay (well, it came with the BOV
) looks like it will fit fine, and the IC is ordered. Ill be doing the wiring this week (fun), and after that Ill either a) get my act togetherb) go crazy
Now the bad:
The hood hits the intake pipe, and the dump pipe hits the steering linkage. Fuq, that sux. The hood is no biggie, Ill cut that. The pipe, though, kinda pisses me off. Imma have to get a custom one made, which will suck since I cant bring the car to the machinist, for him to measure it.
Another bad thing is I wont be running power steering or AC, ever.I have been waiting on a crank pulley and other stuff from Branden (NISMOBUTTNUTZ) for close to 4 months now, still nothing from that deadbeat HACK.
So, to make a long story short, Im cutting 2 of the 3 belt guides from my cracked pulley, getting it rebalanced, and saving rotational mass
I also took the liberty of removing all the power steering lines, the AC lines/condenser/etc, and both pumps. Now Im saving about 70 pounds up front while sweating my balls off and getting a workout behind the wheel. Sweet.As I said, Im starting the wiring this week, so if you have anything thats not in Branden's (aka Cackholster's) write up, let me know. Im running the KA lower and RB upper (obviously) harnesses, and using the KA cluster with the RB tach. (Wow, that Nismo Speedo would be right at home in the dash, too, Branden. That sux for me, eh?)
