Keep it up. Did you get your harness straightened out?

I remember that I had to do a wire extension to the IACV when I converted to a GReddy / front facing plenum.

Do you already have an ECU?
By 'holes' you mean for piping?

man this is pretty good work.. I'm following this now.. I wanna do a similar deal with an s13 or s14 if I can find a clean body around here.. seems simple enough so far from what I've seen and read up on or is there much more to it than meets the eye?

nah man thank you for all the pics with your project.. you planning on any bottom end and internal stuff or just drop it in and ride? I've already been planning to do most of the work on my own with help from some friends but I'm gonna get a swap kit from rawbrokerage to get the needed swap parts including the harness done.. I don't trust my wiring skills that much yet.. I also have a good mechanic friend to help out when I can't handle something..

thumbs up for having the balls to just do it.. If I had the money I'd just pay my mechanic friend to do it but he'd likely want more than I'd wanna pay him.. I'm not scared of the wiring really, I'd just rather not risk having something burn up cause I used the wrong wire or something.. nobody wants to see an engine go.. that happened to my 240 and while I was away at school my moms sold the shell for 500 to get it outta the yard then got me the nice slow 2.5TL I ride in now #epic fail.. but I'm on the hunt for a body now though.. I've been wanting to do this swap since I saw it in Turbo magazine back in 04.. good luck though man I hope all goes smoothly for you too..

Those bov's work good but, the spring they come with is a little to stiff. If you run into compressor surge try picking up a lighter spring from ace hardware or maybe cutting a couple coils off the spring that in there.

Build looks good
