so today i installed the xcessive i/m, 70mm aussie t/b, fuel rail w/injectors, injector harness w/knock sensor, coolant hard lines, vvl solenoids, oil filter housing, power steering mount bracket and pump. also installed the JUN u/l flywheel, b15se clutch disc and JWT pressure plate. the distributor, plugs and plug wires are in/on.
decided to say screw the oem manifold /tb. i'll add a vacuum fitting to the cai (post maf) and plumb a line for metered air to a remote mounted iacv. cold start was a pita w/ the n1's and think the iacv will be a necessity with the 184c's to keep from stalling.
i ordered a new w/p yesterday...no sense installing the old one when new ones are so cheap and are a pita to change with the motor installed

tomorrow i'll mate up the tranny and do a parts run for the iacv vacuum stuff and mod the cai. ALMOST THERE
