As many labels and paper we wrote on, there better not be any problems! A few hours of just labeling and writing down! I know we wont have any problems out of the ecu hook up. As for the drivers side wires is where my worries are. But hey, good luck bro! Call me if ya forget anything. lol

Hehe I didnt even get a chance to do anything tonight. Been calling companies on the turbos, wastegates, intercooler piping, haggling with price on rear end and trying to find a third member. On top of that I have school in the morning so I should probably start wrapping my night up.

I think i would have cut out a big enough hole in the firewall to pass the fuse box through and then just welded a plate back in place before making that cut! Good luck to it man!

Bring it over tomorrow if you want it done. I am getting ready to start on mine tonight. The longest part of it is deciding where to put everything. You are welcome to bring it over tonight also, no school tomorrow. Its going to be an all nighter for me. Just bring some solder and heat shrink tubing and I have everything else.

Mike I have one on another engine I am not using right now. If you want to pull it off and have it powdercoated you can. Just give me your other one so I can put it back on this motor when done. Speaking of powdercoating I am going to have a bunch of this rear end **** sent off to the powdercoater to get done. You outta wait and I bet it wont cost you much. Either that or I have a powdercoater here at home that we can do small parts with, something that will fit in my oven, take about an hour to do.

Well you need to get that wiring done. lol I dont think any of it was "hard" really. Just took alot of time. I think the "hardest" part would have to be the bulk head. If anyone plans to do this with their car, it would be worth the time. I think. Just make sure you take your time. But heck im not even down there helpin and im ready to see pics on fuse boxes and ecu mounted. As for bakin parts.. I love ya bro, but count me out. lol Sounds like Mike got the guy for the job.

Oh, and Mike, dont worry about weight. You heard of plastics and rollin up in a mat? lol jk.

LoL.
On a good note the rear end, chromoly crossmember,short chromoly torque arm, chromemoly anti-roll bar and 35 spline axles was ordered from Midwest Chassis today. This rear end is decked out with all the options. Cost a pretty penny though. T-76 turbochargers, aluminum coldside, wastegates, turbo feed and return lines, gaskets, bla bla bla was also ordered today. Also ordered some red anodized F.A.S.T. fuel rails today also so parts should be rolling in soon, cant wait!
