ME TOO. my wiring harness will be installed tomorrow night. I got the dash ALMOST wired up. need to wire the fans up and tape some wires up and make it look pretty. Then i need to just put the dash in, plug some wires in and it will great. Motor cranks over good too. i got the starter working and it sounds great.

I made my hood shut. cut all the underside out and hood pined it shut haha. cheap and effective. still need a driveline, and i have tons of little crap to do but its coming along smooth

OK.....

so after much hell with wiring, it runs. it was rough, but it ran :D :D

i didnt have water in it so i just did a test fire. it was rough but it fired and ran for a good minute.

time to wire it correctly and finish it.

i have it half ass'd wired to get it to run :D :D :D :D

hey guys,

little update here:

so i got it fired up and running, it ran on 2 cylinders, but then after swapping some coil packs everything is good. i went through and unplugged each injector one at a time and the cylinder dropped, did the same with the coil packs. My spark plugs are crappy, and i ordered new ones be in on monday.

My alternator was making noise, and so i needed to swap it out, but ca18 parts are hard to find. So I used a ka24de alternator and modified up upper mount, then my water pump leaked. So i figured out that the alternator bracket bolts are ALSO water pump bolts haha. So it started to leak. then i decided to remove the timing belt cover and the pump and clean it out and get a new thermostat. I am going to get a thermostat later on, and i cleaned the pump. need to weld the bracket that i modified and seal the pump and put it back together. might run good now.

Drive line is being made tomorrow, i have been slacking on getting it made. wiring is pretty much done. i need to drive it and see how it goes. it revs decent, it seems like it starts to miss fire as revs increase and it runs like a tractor, BUT the plugs are in bad shape so im blaming those right now haha.

AND its people like YOU! that keep me motivated! thanks guy.

I am seriously 20 years old, i do about 99% of my own work on my car, i love trouble shooting things, and i enjoy doing things myself. I always have freinds over and we do projects. Im having fun with this build and cant wait to start a new one.

Soon as i move back to washington i am going to look into purchasing 2 sr5 zenki coupes haha. one of them will get an sr20det for a FULL formula D and D1 legal car, and the second will be a daily, with a 16v on itb and 20v electronics.

ALSO ANYONE wanting to do a major swap, consider using a painless wiring kit. I WISH i would have bought like a 10 circut painless kit and eliminated the OEM wiring harness. my formula d d1 car will have a full painless kit and ditch the oem wiring, it makes motor swapps easy. right now i have a key that is a starter......everything else is on switches that get battery power.
