4" down pipe all welded up.
Also had the Tial 46mm waste gate flange welded on to the manifold; it's a FD HKS SS mani that I'm using.
Couple of mock up pics...

HOW DID I MISS THIS THREAD?!?!?
My next swap will be an REW into an FB chassis and I really want an SE to do it with. I already did a TII into an 84 GS and this is my next idea. I'm loving the direction you're taking with the car and I'm going to be checking in on this one often.
Beautiful car, awesome setup and good luck to you!

Finished up the LIM today, I'll give all the polished parts a final polish once I'm ready to put it all back together.
I'll be buying fuel injectors and rails next.
Most likely going to be FFE injectors/rails.
Steve.
Before...
Cleaned up LIM, cut off the crap I didn't need.

Looks great ! I see we are going to have pretty similar bays !
Man..started the wiring. Its rough. Im still REALLY considering an ez wiring kit, there is just so so much uselessness to remove out of the harnesses.
Im tucking the body harness. And routing the adaptronic harness through what used to be the emmissions harness hole on the passenger side.

Thx man, you got a pretty nice build as well.
Yeah I haven't even thought about the wiring or ECU.(shame on me)
The wire tuck is going to be sweet, keep up the hard work it'll pay off.
...Oh and share the details of how you did it

Latest progress pic...
I did a quick polish on the water pump housing.
It's far from a perfect mirror finish but it looks alot better than it did before.

Nothing really to update... Just got back from deals gap and had a blast.
My goal is to have the SE completed and at DGRR 2015.
Just need fuel system parts and wire in the ECU then get her tuned.

What are you using to polish your goodies? I have had good luck with this cheap aluminum/brass polish from harbor frieght called "green rock" ... I think that is the name
