Sorry, no pics. My camera is busted. Ill see if i can borrow one. haha. Ill be running on the 89 harness and ECU, with an HKS FCON. I got the harness all routed and plugged in. Im using an 89 power steering motor with an FD accessory bracket. Took a bit cutting and reworking, but the power steering is bolted up and ready to go. I have to modify the FD pulley so it can bolt on to the 89 pump, but thats not too hard. I got my GReddy pulley kit, have yet to install it. Should look pretty nice with the serpentine belt setup. I junked the FD twins in favor of a more simple FC single turbo. I need to keep the heat down, especially if this car is going to be road raced. I spent about a week re-painting and polishing the panasport C8's. They look bling bling now. =) Im hoping i can get her on the road in the next couple of weeks.

i junked the fd twins and fd ecu plans. I just need to get it running. Getting it to run on the fd ecu would have been a major ordeal.



Progress so far:



Fuel system done. Cooling system is just about done, i need Paul to make me a new thermostat neck to clear the hood. The upper intake manifold and throttle body is bolted up now. Its starting to looking pretty good!! :bigok:

The wiring harness is done. I lucked out, the FD/Cosmo style TPS has the same ranges, so i just soldered the cosmo TPS connector into the 89 harness. Exhaust is on the car now, as well as the turbo. I figured out the throttle cable too. I modified the cruise control bracket to accomdate an NA throttle cable. All i need to do now is rig up an intercooler add oil and coolant.
