thanks to my friend Spencer for the hook-up on some heat wrap, i got the manifold wrapped.


tightened the fitting and put the feed line on


set-up the vacuum manifold, i wish is didnt say fastturbo on it lol


re-did the rear coolant hose coming off the head, used a metal hardline instead of a plastic heater fitting




new vac line from booster and t to vac manifold


oil feed line connected


new vac lines for the reg and gay ricer bov


finished the oil return, electrical tape is a great way to avoid scratches if you dont have an wrenches





charge pipes hooked up


couplers look like **** but they are all i have for now, black ones and new ic pipes soon enough


heat sleeve for the return line, dont want that manifold burning through it


bay as of now, going to try starting the car tomorrow


coming together, hopefully it runs

shoot man im not even sure. i was going to just run it off of a 12 volt constant and the battery with a relay, but i tried turning the car over today and got nothing. im not sure why, but im guessing the factory fuel pump trigger and this are related, so i might as well try to figure it all out. looks like the harness will be yanked once more, and ill try to go through each wire individually until i get it. a plug and play harness is $450 which is the only thing holding me back

So were you able to work on it this weekend, or do you have a few finals left? After your done with that harness you can come work on the harness of the project Im working on... all the wires were stiff/cracked due to age.

alright well after much research on the problem, and deciding it had to be something dumb since i was 99% sure i hooked up everything the same way it came off, i got the car to crank. ha its not much, but the fuel pump wiring isnt quite done so until then thats all i got. it ended up being one plug(the gray 3 wire which is used to ground the starter!!!), it simply wasnt plugged in. when i relocated the dash wiring i guess i just forgot to plug the two together, but i had zip tied them both under the air bag try since i wasnt sure what to do with them. doh so dumb! i was focusing too much on the engine harness being the potential problem and just over looked it.
with that being said, the fuel pump relay is mounted and completed wired with the exception of the trigger wire being ran. i called local junk yards today trying to find an s14 ps reservoir (i really dont want to drill any holes for the s13 one) but i had no luck. im going to try making an adapter so no new holes will be necessary.

on top of that, i wasted $25 when i was connecting the coolant lines to the turbo. the lower feed leaked everywhere when i took the plug off and i didnt have the oil return line hooked up. pretty sure coolant went down in the oil pan, so i had to buy 4 more quarts of oil and drain the brand new stuff i just put in. better safe than sorry i guess.
