Making progress, may be done this upcoming weekend, can't say for sure.

I have yet to figure out how I'm going to route my crank case lines, and figure out what a few lines do on the Turbo Inlet duct. Pretty much I have to figure out what I will keep and get rid of, I thought I already did this! When you actually get down and assemble it you realize you missed a whole bunch of crap.

I've cleaned up the passenger side quite a bit, I still have yet to go through the driver's side and clean up all of the underbody spray the PO decided to use. Also, I re-did all the emissions side wiring and insulation, looks much better!

Old engine I rebuilt 2 years ago.

Can't wait to see her in person! just out of curiosity did you get an RB downpipe to replace your RB header or are you running stock?

RB downpipe, of course! Full RB exhaust with Borla Mufflers.

Making progress!
Right now, all that's left is fluids, throttle body & intercooler, starter wires & transmission wires, and Turbo ECU!

As I pulled out the old fuel pump to replace it with a Walbro, I inspected my tank, and was able to get all this shit out of it. Not sure what it is. Tank isn't rusty at all.

Progress has been really slow, but she's almost ready. Had an issue with the shifter not engaging any gears, turned out some old bearing material had jammed up. I then had an issue with 5th and reverse not engaging, i hammered the selector into gear and that freed it up, i'm guessing the 5th/reverse spring mechanism froze up or something.

All that's left? Add fluids and bleed clutch, then i'll need some tires.

Got her running last night, after the night before she wouldn't start up. Issues ended up being mainly, the Mass Air Flow Sensor being bad ( I had a spare), and a small fuel leak.

She now has a vacuum leak due to the lower to upper intake gasket snapping in half, even though it was brand new and I'm careful as hell with them it still snapped.

The alternator that's currently on the car when running reads under 10 volts. I need to replace both alternator and gasket.

But!! She has S-4 1987 Turbo 2 wheels, with some nice new tires, a few things changed here and there, including some minor rust, and FINALLY a paint matched front fascia.

I'm guessing it's not going to be at Woodward?

No, unfortunately, i'm just glad she runs though. I will be there with an Rx7 though!

This car has yet to touch Woodward, when she does she will be perfect.

So, the car won't idle on it's own right now, I have the idle set to around 900RPM using the throttle cable method. It works, it actually works fine, I have no flooding issues, no stalling issues, and it starts up faster than my vert does.

I ran into some issues, first I had a fuel leak on the primary injectors, I had swapped out the injectors a few times, ended up being a bad O-ring (new). Also, the feed line going to the primary injectors wasn't tight enough, causing a bit of a seep. This has all been fixed, and no leaks! All 4 injectors are brand new, I was able to find a Honda vendor that sold 550cc and others for about $50 an injector.

Fixed the Lower > upper intake gasket, replaced the alternator, I'm pretty good at taking the upper intake off now, it's much easier than the NA intake.

My Leading coil was dead, which would cause it to fire on just 1 rotor. Weird, as it worked before though. I've never heard what 1 rotor firing sounds like until then.

I re-did a lot of the grounds on the chassis side, to be safe. Also, I'm not entirely sure if the Trailing coil is firing. I'm assuming it is, as I have a working tach.

My coolant sensor was leaking a bit, luckily it just needed to be tightened a bit more. Besides that, the car is leak free now.

Now, the only real issues I have is that my windows don't roll down, I've verified the switch is working, as I cleaned and tested it on my vert. I'm hoping it's just a fuse, no biggie. Also, my car beeps constantly when running, I've confirmed the beeping is related to the Power steering not being detected. I'll figure that one out...

Pictures will come later, and hopefully I will get around to driving it this weekend maybe... maybe...

Thanks, that's the plan, maybe tonight.

I think the idle issue is due to too much fuel pressure, I'll be needing an aftermarket regulator. That's to come.

Have you checked your plugs? If you're running so rich it's killing your idle they should have developed a pretty thick layer of Carbon on them.
