Nice project. You plan on welding the upper to the lower runners?

I plan on doing a more thoroughly fabricated intake when I hit 400hp with this one.
For now, this one will stay bolted together with 5 out of the 7 bolts!

You can take the man out of a DSM, but you can't take the DSMer out of a man
Keep up the cool project!

Only people who have been tortured by 4g63's can really appreciate that line!

GTE Throttle body is here, I built the Data-logger cable, and finished most of the wiring that was left under the car.

I primed the engine today with no ignition. The compression coming out of this thing sounds awesome, almost like distant gunshots.

It's ok, because I'm a recon-tech.
One good session and a hot water extractor will have it looking showroom again.
Does your interior smell like actual leather and not farts and old Wendy's? Mine does!

So I have been torturing myself over the wiring of this conversion, and weather or not the 3mz Internally ignited coils would work.
I went over everything thoroughly, and after several cranking attempts I couldn't get the thing to fire.
And then I finally found the problem...
...NO GAS DUMMY!!!
