Biggu's engine refresher build thread.
Does anyone know of any issues of removing the coolant lines to the IAC and throttle body
im sure there is a specific flow needed for the engine. Im not going to use the GTE coolant hard line that goes around the engine im planning on using the GE one for a cleaner look.

busy weekend with not much going on.
waste gate came in, filter nipple came in, fuel line for the return came in along with the rest of the fittings for the fuel line. As of now I almost have everything to finish my fuel system. Just need the other fuel pump and Ill be done with the fuel setup.
This weekend I went on a ordering spree,
I ordered a Mishimoto Radiator, 2 Mishimoto 12'' fan, Mishimoto fan shroud, Mishimoto Thermostat, CX racing FMIC in 31x12x4 sizing, Walbro 255 fuel pump. im sure there will be more ill order today.

so i got some more parts finally and i also got tired of the car leaking power steering(ATF fluid) all over the damn place so I finished up the whole system along with the cooler in place. All in all i think it turned out pretty nice but it was more expensive than i was wanting it to be but oh well.
Also my Mishimoto radiator came in and I gotta deal with that now because its a little shorter than I expected it to be and it doesn't sit properly in the stock holders. bottom its fine but its too short for the top ones. On top of all that my radiator upper pipe is now too long and i guess ill need to cut that down a tad but no big deal.
Also my HKS DLI type 2 came in so looks like im going to be wiring that in soon.
On top of that, fenders, bumper and all the body parts are on the car minus the hood.

Did a bit of work on the car last night since I was bored.
Fuel feed line is finished, Fuel return is finished, AFPR mounted, DLI mounted and wiring ran just needs soldered, remote oil filter mount is mounted, oil cooler mounted, oil lines all ran and im sure there was more.
heres some quick pictures with the iphone, ill get better ones later.
Oh also im going to get a billet tensioner bracket made for my car, Titan wants $350 for theirs but i can get it made for half the cost still using 4040 billet steel.
