In an interest to get the car running sooner than later I put a hold on making the AEM infinity harness and focus on other things. Pretty close to getting it running again, just need to integrate the BMW water pump and Tecomotive controller into the cooling system.
Rear MCS shock remote canisters routed to cabin, had to make a custom sealing arrangement. Not really pretty to look at but it gets the job done. And the ffel system is now complete, upgraded fuel filter, SS fuel line, etc.

what size is your radiator and radiator core?
i'm looking to do something similar with a ron davis radiator, with inlet and outlet on one side, with end tanks on left and right side. but i was concerned with the space.
would love to see how you end up running the coolant hoses !

Made a new air intake setup, just waiting for a 4" silicone coupler to complete the assembly. And after re-educating myself on oil injector function will be removing the little venturi tube I fabricated in the intake tube next to the BOV recirc line.
Also made remote reservoir canister mounting brackets, depending on how they hold up I made add an additional support pad/base at the shradder valve end.
And the wiring for the water pump in the engine bay is complete, just need to finish the remaining electrical work in cabin.
Everything else in the engine bay is pretty much complete also, Autoexe strut bar was a pain to install as always, but it's in there.

Well, the AEM Series 1 ECU took a **** somehow, so I guess I will be making my Infinity engine harness sooner than later. So frustrated right now, ugh.
Was hoping to get the car running on 7/7/17, lol.

Scott aka scotty305 is hooking me up big time by loaning me one of his AEM Infinity patch harnesses, Thank you Scott! Will be able to get the car running while I take my time creating a from scratch engine harness.
In the mean time while waiting for the patch harness I continued on the mods on the car.
Installed the very last set of my XL tall seat mounts. Amazingly I was able to use passenger side mount on the drive side with only a little bit of mods to the floor mounting tabs. This gets the seat even closer to the trans tunnel, which will help with the 8 point cage later down the road, but damn its tight trying to get the bolts place.
Also installed my one off splitter/tow hook mount arrangement.
And finally got the last silicone coupler for the air intake and removed the oil injector venturi tube.
Just need to do the rear compression canister mounts, replace the now dead PC925 battery, install Scott's patch harness and setup the Infinity ECU.
Once I figure out where I will be ending up with the new job I will create new CF ducting, the engine harness and 8 point cage.
