Decided to switch a few things up and add some xtras and while I'm waiting for parts to come in. I figured out I can gain an inch of room for the IC piping by illiminating the stock overflow tank from the fan shroud. **** it, dremmel time.

Minor adjustments..
Couple of guys chimed in on pully slippage with the original set-up so I added a pulley to increase the belt wrap around the drive pulley. Shouldn't have any problems now.
Pulley system finally done.
Air intake and I/C piping needs a couple of things but thats done soon. Installing colder plugs, and all thats left to do after that is install the piggyback, fuel pump and injectors. Exaust and valve body will be last.

Been a minute for an update but been concentrating on these final steps.
Got the MAPECU3 hooked up and wired in.
Ran into a snag with a loose wire but hashed that out.
Wide band wired in and linked to the piggyback.
In between that finished the stereo upgrade and switched climate controls to the JDM version (why? Idk, got bored of the old one lol)..
Custom intake nearly finished; found a way to bring the intake to the front of the engine bay to try and minimize sucking hot air from over the headers/exhaust manifold like in other applications.
In the home stretch now only T-minus 3 more steps before ignition.

Intake done.
Just have to fit the hoses for PCV and Pwr steering idle up into it.
Fuel pump done. Switched out fuel pumps for a walbro. In doing so, I discovered that the fuel pump housing from 98-00 dosen't allways match. I also have a 2000 GS 400 and I took a look at the fuel pump housing and they are slightly different with the fuel filter molded into the housing.

Test fire!
Hooked in the blower. Pulleys line up, belt lines up. No issues. Blower is loud as hell without being plumed in. No oil leaks (so far) and oil pressure is getting into the blower as it should. As soon as I'm ready to make things more permanent gonna loc-tite everything in.
