Hi all, thanks again for all the good comments, it means alot when you have put so much into the car. its good to see the headaches paying off. still having dramas getting the car running though, hopefully i get the clutch issue sorted soon.
another problem im having is with the Davies Craig electric water pump, i think im getting an error with the temp sensor.
On a positive note i have my gauges, boost controller (still need to secure with double side tape) and exhaust cut out valve installed.

Looks like 9K changed his mind from doing a S2 Renesis swap to a 13B from a Mazda/Eunos Cosmo...

Now hes just gotta donate some organs and he'll be set...

Checking in to see if you had time to break in the engine to start tuning or are you waiting for winter to pass? Otherwise, clean build...

Every time I come back to this thread it makes me want to ditch the idea of getting an M3 and just get a cheap daily and do this level of work on my 8.

Thanks for the comments guys the car is going well.
I will be getting it tuned very soon which leads me to a question for all you with the wealth of knowledge. on my blitz sbc icolor, where do i connect the speed sensor wire to the car?
