Re: The Chronicles of my Sedan
A HUGE thanks to Adam from www.weaksauce.org for hooking me up on the Nardi ****. I really appreciate his business. There couldn't be a better guy as far as I am concerned. A HUGE thanks to Trent for the drain bolt, 4-wire O2 and (possibly) intake, too.
Here's to good parts and good friends.

Re: The Chronicles of my Sedan
as far as intakes go i'm using a 3" short ram from autozone with a k&n filter. the piping puts the filter right where the battery would be. filter was free from a buddies swap, piping was 40 bux.

Re: The Chronicles of my Sedan
We are working on it for a few hours today. There won't be much visual going on, but we should be closer to getting it running. I'll take as many pictures as I can so we can make this thread have some more to look at.

Re: The Chronicles of my Sedan
Chris was right, we didn't get a lot done visually, but a lot of small things got done. Most of the vacuum lines are hooked up, the driver side wire tuck is complete, holes are drilled for the manual shifter mount, the ITR/EG6 intake setup is mounted, the fuse box is relocated and mostly hooked up, the 4-wire O2 got cleaned up with new heat shrink and installed, the hoses for the heater core are hooked up, new fuel filter is in and the lines are hooked up, fuel injectors are soaking and almost ready to go in, etc.
We still need to complete the passenger side wire tuck, hook up a couple more vacuum lines, hook up the fuel return line, extend the power for the battery relocation, etc. As soon as the dust boots arrive for the steering rack we can install that. Once that is in we can put all of the suspension back in, install the rear mount, install the steering column, install shifter assembly, etc.
Getting closer!

Re: The Chronicles of my Sedan
Okay, I think I'm squared away on the Z6 injectors I needed. Another big thanks to Adam (redzcstandardhatch) and Darkload from ef-honda for helping me out.
I am confused on something else, though. I need some help. Virtually everything on the Rywire harness is plugged in except for a green plug labeled "fan" on the BACK side of the motor. It has a ground connector running out very close to it. The intake manifold did not come with a map sensor so I tried to plug in the green plug to the stock DPFI map sensor hoping the green plug was just mislabled, but it did not work. Can someone please help me with some clarification? I'm wondering if I need a newer map sensor or if I need to splice a different plug onto the harness that will plug into the OEM map sensor I have or maybe I'm just way off base.
