Nice MK3 man...I'm doing pretty much the exact same swap as you but into an S13 240SX.

Good luck on the build

thanks for the kind words guys..

all that is left is the fuel system. using an aeromotive 13301 regulator, aero 12303 fuel filter... and not sure on the pump yet, trying to find one that i like that will work.

then on to the exhaust (pain in the ***) going to have to get a header kit and basically make a custom system and try to fit all that in there while still having room for all the turbo ****.
