Think you read my it wrong.It says there are plugs by the air flow meter location and on the white plug near the ecu

My installed Relays are in the engine bay rather than attached to the old s13 car loom socket


So is your car running now Indy>?

[indecisive]

soon.

I only have a few more things to do. Wiring is finished, I actually cranked the engine Just waiting on the damn dropping resistor from the engine importer still..supposed to get here last friday..but nope...

Then just gotta do the intercooler piping, boost gauge source, blow off valve, and plug off all other intake stuff and connect some sensors (neutral switch, reverse switch, oil pressure sender unit, knock sensor) and I can start her.

I dunno if my pump is working, I'll be checking for fuel pressure today.

Depends how hard you treat it,

A standard manual apparently can't withstand sustained abuse from a standard ET

good point...

[zxocmars]

I think I read somewhere, (here or zxoc) that a standard auto should be good for upto 350hp under "normal" conditions

Not sure if that's true though

i think the silvia god says around 200bhp before it starts to slip, my auto box must be shot as it slips @ 12psi with just an airfilter mod

who ever started that rubbish off either has never checked/serviced there gearbox oil and cant change gear properly.

Also i have never read anywhere about an s12 autobox handling 350hp. I would trust silviagods experience here. sorry if this sounds rude,i dont mean it too be

[Oscar]
