lose the ghetto intake. other than that, looks good. oh, and why not save yourself the hassle of wiring up IAB and just buy a Skunk2 or Edelbrock intake manifold now?

actually, i've got a skunk2 manifold for it...but that's not going to go on until it's boost time.

the ghetto-fabulous intake will be gone soon.

You're going to be kicking yourself for waiting when the time comes to swap them out. Accessing all the bolts and nuts you need to remove is a helluva lot tougher with the motor in the car.

Looks good though!

thanks for the props

i'll definately keep you posted on the status

we're pulling the engine again tonight for a full cleaning + tranny swap (currently using a b16 tranny - b18 tranny is going in tomorrow)

also - the car never had AC...who needs it?!

the radiator is from a b16 del sol...so hopefully it'll keep everything cooler than the cx radiator until i can get an aftermarket one

speaking of cleaning, what do you use to clean the motor and engine bay? You know...for all that grease and dirt and stuff.
