If you plan to install the complete S13 loom then please take a little advice

Mount the computer under the passenger seat so you can get to the diagnostic screw and lights then work back to the dash. the loom is too long for the datto so either chop or bend it into submission in hidden areas.
I have rerouted mine (in a major way) 3 times - it's a pain. Mostly done before the windscreen went in.
I also mounted my Auto ECU next to the heater on the passenger side (you won't have to worry about that one)

used exhaust pipe for mock-up, have to find flexible radiator hoses to fit around it, anyone!
should have seats back from upholster next month, the finish is getting closer

Intercooler piping looks neat. I did mine very similar but cut the silicone bend on the TB back to allow more room for the radiator hose to run in front of the cooler pipe rather than over the top. ARE in brisbane are currently making up a ally hard pipe for the radiator hose which will be contected using a 90 bend heading straight down then a short section of straight hose to the thermostat housing. The hard pipe will have a bit of a kink in it along with a 90 bend, a fitting will also be added to allow for a thermo fan switch. The second pic just shows the template i made to take to ARE.

Looks the goods Rod that colour is so striking in a good way, You have a rolling stool like mine my one is an old computer chair with removed broken back rest.

thanks fella's, as we are aware fitting these types of engine to a already small bay makes engineering, customizing a abit of a challenge for any first timer,

im think i have to buy another 90' reducer as this has only enough space for clamp to hold down at the manifold witch im unable to short'n it, yours look to have plenty room to play with fits well,

yeah i was close to buy Red hoses but i recon it would clash with the color, blue looks good, that chair is a bloody ripper to get around the shed floor yes an old puter chair aswell with a new lease of life..........

fitted the CFM, starting to running out of room, hard not to scratch tha paint

Looks good but even the stock panel filter box will flow better than the super cheap filter. Get a stick box and cold air duct it. Will look stock and pass engineering easily.

Also get new strut top nuts. Car as nice as yours needs them. As is looks like you painted car with them in...(which you have correct) Detracts from good job your doing. Keep up good work.

your on the money there yes its from supercheap, but not complaning it was a freebie,

yes those bolts, thinking will i undo them and may chance in stuffing the paint, Its one of those things, however i do have newie,....its those little "tension to details" make all the differences,
ive opt to replace all bolts in the bay for stainless alien-bolts instead looks a clean finish,

il tell ya ive been having fun in not scratch the paint fitt'n all the accessories

I allways wanted to paint my engine bay a colour like that!!
