Well the inlets on the way so once it lands I can get this thing built up and running . Once running it will be off for a paint job since the ex scratched every panel and bonnet .. luckily no dents anywhere.

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
That’s not good. Get if fixed and move on.
Nothing looks better than fresh paint. Just take the positives from the situation.

PassionFord Post Whore!!
Glad to see progress again on this, although paint wasn’t planned I think you’ve wanted bits painting for a while from memory?
Keep the updates coming Mat

A little update .. the inlet arrived so with an hour spare I fitted it and started working things out .. a few little changes and I think I'll have pulled this off , luckily the loom didn't need extending or anything so that was a result .

When my son changed the inlet on his Turbo’d DC2 Integra it started but wasn’t happy and was really rich. He was able to trim the fuel so he could drive it to be mapped.
We couldn’t believe it made that much difference.
Unfortunately we couldn’t compare like for like on the dyno as he also increased boost and added water meth.
But it will be interesting to see what difference yours makes.

Yea they do make a huge difference so I'll be looking over mine and more than probably chuck it on our kids truck and take it for mapping ..im thinking of water meth for mine tbh also

Wish I had more time!
I’ve been watching this thread for a good year or so now and I admire your dedication to detail it’s inspired me to try and do mine in such detail, your fuel fitting coming from and to your fuel filter what did you use to make it work are they 6an fittings? If so what ones did you use to make it work? I’m trying to do something similar on mine.
thanks
Blake

thanks for the reply, I will certainly do that, nice that some people are willing to help people on the way, a lot of people want to keep it a secret to themselves almost?! Here’s a few pics of mine
