Well, not too many updates as it's been wait, wait, wait on shipping for things, but I have most of the fuel system parts and all of the AN fittings, just missing Fuel Filter before I can go too hog wild plumbing everything. Tomorrow I finish most of the wiring and everything works, from the tails to signals to h/l relays and the infernal wiper motor running awesome on low and high, as I refreshed that sucker and cleaned the relay assembly and it works great.
I've got all new LED bulbs I'll try out in the stock tails, just to see what they look like, as they are cheap anyways and can't hurt, as I dislike the old bulbs.
Engine is on it's way from Kansas, should be here next week.
SR20DET S13, with everything.
New CAS
New Stage II Clutch
Vildini Mount
Custom Trans Mount
Modified and Refreshed U-joint Drive Shaft for the swap
Greddy Profec B Spec II EBC
Hooray!

Well, had the day off today, so finished the wiring for the fuse panel, relay setup, alarm/keyless, then tested and tidied everything up a bit.
Everything works as it should!

LoL... The more I do builds, the more I'm like... I could do this for people. But, great way to ruin what you love is to make it your job.
I'm very proud of the wiring... all of it is shrink wrapped and clean, but it helps that the harness is all black wires too.
Just wait for the engine... It'll be really pretty. I'm planning to paint the block/head black and then have the valve cover polished and run a polished intake plenum and stainless manifold. All the fuel fittings in the engine will be nickle plated, which look polished, so it'll be really beautiful in there. I haven't seen another sr20 like that, so it should be unique too.
It's just much easier when you don't drive it and take your time... allows much more thought and purpose to the build.
I've never taken this long to build something like this and it's actually pretty fun. I still say I have a year or so left before I'd show it around really though. Next summer it will be pretty fun to see I'm sure.
Who knows what I'll have total in it by the end, but surely less than the Scion Build ever was...

Yea for Updates!
The engine is a week or two away from going into the car for fitting the mount and welding that in... the transmission mount is all set and the fuel system is 90 percent done... It's getting there quickly...
Here's some updated pics.
The engine bay with the mounts in it:
The Trans Mount test fitted:
The Fuel pump/filter setup:
The Back End Look:
Shot from the hatch:
Off the Engine Stand!

Some good progress was made this weekend... It fits wonderfully, with the mounts and driveshaft all set.
The radiator and intercooler are ordered and on their way, which gets it closer to actually being able to be running and tested out.
Here's some fun pictures -
The back all in the daylight
It's in -

Here's some poor angled pics, but the radiator is in and mounted and I am fabbing up the intercooler piping and mounting the FMIC by this weeked.
Also picked up a Freddy Plenum and got that on and set up as well.
By next week the FMIC and Radiator should all be mounted and I should have the piping figured out for them.
I'll also have the new valve cover in, which will be powder coated wrinkle black and shaved.
The rear floor should be in next week as well and I'll be able to get the Autopower bar in... it should then look more and more like a car instead of the shell it's been for more than a year.

The FMIC is mounted and in now, The Radiator and Fan are on, and the Radiator Hoses are set...
I still have to have an adapter welded onto the hot pipe for the "Bypass Valve", and weld together something for the cold pipe to get the right fit and allow the AAC valve hose to go into it.
I'm using a 240sx/Sr20det conversion intake pipe kit as it has two nice hookups for my vent from the valve cover and for the Recirc hose from the Bypass Valve to go into. These are what are on order:
Here's the Valve I'm running
And that nifty pipe for Intake
Some Updates Pics for Today

The back is put back together and riveted back in... I still need to pick up a dry cell for under the screwed on small panel, but that can wait till later anyways... The panels are just laid in there and I'll use the panel plastic pins to hold them on once I'm sure I don't need to get back into there for anything, as they are a pain to take out.
