Have to say man great thread really informative and fair play for doin it yourself especially the wireing i had to rewire my 14 project and that was standard no modifying and it fried my head :-D

Thanks man. The wiring isn't actually too bad when got the wiring diagrams to help. All pretty straightforward once you get the basic understanding of the engine management system.

The next hurdle will be getting a welder and learning how to weld, to make the exhaust, haha.

I will add that I was shitting myself about the wiring before I started the project. But feeling much more confident now. But it will probably blow up as soon as I turn the key

So, I must say, I got sick and tired of sitting around doing nothing while waiting for my clutch to arrive.

So I decided to carry on with a few other things while waiting. Got the rad and intercooler mounted.



Intercooler setup is high mount with short piping past the lights.



Required some chopping of the car and lights





Got a JZX100 downpipe



Should work ok with minor modifications



Then I looked at the engine again and thought to myself... Why the fuck haven't I heard this cunt running yet?? Its been two months of staring at it with zero action. So I decided to drop it in and connect everything up without the gearbox.



Surprisingly a lot of space between engine and rad. The stock clutch fan even fits.



Connected everything up.... Fuel lines, relocated pas tank, vacuum lines, earths, igniter. Only to be left with this bit of wiring to do.



Looks like it was always meant to be in there



So next day I mentally prepared myself for the task ahead



And a few hours later it was kinda done. I was going to go into more detail regarding the wiring, but people seem to be more interested in shiny tape on the bulkhead... So i doubt wiring is of any interest to anyone. But I might if there is any interest.



Now I am sitting and patiently waiting for another fuel pressure gauge to turn up because royal fail decided not to deliver it last week. Once that arrives, it will be time to turn that key.

Just had a read, Pete. Fair fucks for documenting everything, and for going with a VVTI Wan Jay. Bring it to Ireland sometime when it's done.

Cheers Greg.

Will have to see about Ireland, maybe only on a trailer haha. I tend to crash pretty often

[Greg]

I've a tendency to do that myself. Lol. Hurry up and finish it.
