so i just saw the other thread with your engine bay pic of you using the FD UIM and TII LIM.
have you already explained in some other thread why you have used this combo? i'd be interested in knowing

It was an easy alternative to the stock NA manifolds for the time being. Plus I got a fairly good deal on them. If they do not work out to my liking, I will switch to something custom and better.
Reason I chose them was because someone with similar porting ideas and setup to mine used this combination a long time ago and had good results, so I figured I'd give it a shot. Like I said, if it doesn't work out to my liking, it can easily be changed.

Thanks 
Many different colors of wire makes the harness a lot easier to build without using the same color for 10 different things, plus I can easily make myself a wiring diagram for my own setup to remember what each wire is for.

alrighty, i see. i suspected that was the reason...after all those manifold will have more overall capacity to flow that the stock NA.
still wondering though, i'm a little fuzzy on how to use the 4-port manifold on the 6-port 13b...i assume you still have 6 ports, right?
sorry, i have a feeling this sounds like a n00b question, lol.

Yep, expect it hopefully tomorrow. Wiring will be finished today, harness will be wrapped/secured in loom, and fluids will be all filled up.
Depending on what time all of this completes I may not be able to fire it up, considering my neighborhood are full of ***** and upon the first startup of a new rebuild I want to leave it idling for about 45 minutes. Last time I tried this they came over and told me to stop at 7pm saying it was too late! So yah...

Most likely, but if I do it during the afternoon I figure my chances are better than at night. Gotta love the smoke show I'll put on for them too! Last time the smoke spread all over the lower part of the neighborhood and took over my next door neighbors house, pretty funny stuff.

Welly welly well... Looks like the goal of the car starting tomorrow may happen! Harness is officially finished. All connectors and sensors are wired in, all relays are done, all fuses are put in, everything on the harness! I have not wrapped the harness in loom/electrical tape yet, though, because I want the car to start and run before I'm willing to take the final step of wrapping the harness 
Here are the pics of the finished harness basically and the engine bay as it sits now. The yellow wires with rubber black things in the middle of them are the fuse holders in case you are wondering. Also, the last pic with the white tube thing is my intake. That's my aluminum piping wrapped in header wrap. Since the piping has to run above the radiator hose I wanted to make sure it would be protected from heat. Enjoy!
