Yes you can use your N/A harness as long as it is all series specific this will be probly your best bet.

You still need the n370 ECU and boost sensor. I believe there is 2 I cannot remember what they are right off the top of my head. Matt knows which wires need to be swapped.

You can use the n/a drive train but its not recommended. As far as the Jspec motor goes I wish you luck. I did not have any in finding a good one.

And holy crap how many white fb's are there in Montana. Nice car lookin good.



Oh and the Rx2 is going for parts. I am going to update the drivetrain. So anyone wants a 12a, holley intake and carb 465. fuel pump and pressure reg, rb header. Let me know.

I see I will have to call him then.

I am already tired of trying to find the rx2 parts. The axles, brakes, spindles, everything. So I am going to get rid of the 12a at the same time. I have no brakes left on it I can find the parts to put it back to stock but what happens next time? I don't want to have to go through the search everytime I need a part. So I am going to start collecting parts for 13bT and fuel inject it. So if anyone has a set of rear 81-83 fb calipers and or the whole axle with lsd that would be cool. I just need more time and I don't see a point in putting the money into the no longer manufactured components.


So in the meantime I am going to part what I don't need and spend it on the 7.

i see. that makes sense. of course you would rather have the 7. i still need to go get the front caliper s for my conversion. matts bro gave me two but im pretty sure they are junk. i need to go to ralph ward and sons and get the front from that place or get an aftermarket kit. maybe power slot or somethin

I would do a search on that tigerjapenese company. If I recall correctly they have a really bad reputation for importing junk motors. It was on one of my I am really bored and search the forum for anything and everything. It is always a big gamble to buy a used engine....you get what you pay for!!!

Yeah no problem man. I cant imagine tuning a N/A is hard. I will look into some N/A tuning info I have and will ask Robert some ques. You are gonna need a wideband or at least(hate to recommend it) a narrow band A/F meter. We will be in the dark without one of them.

**** at this rate with the weather you might get that ****** tuned when Ransom and I are dynoing!! I HATE WINTER!!

By the way, HAppy new year guys!

Hey Stophie: I have an HKS FCD and a S4 TII radiator; both in great shape. U want them let me know. I don't need them.

My ride is back on jack stands...............still waiting for a Tokico rear blue HP strut. I was hoping to have these Tanabe GF210's installed by early Dec BUT the dumbass I bought these struts from stripped the nut onto the strut rod with an impact gun. SO you can imagine the mess it was to get the spring off

So from that point on I have: Installed the Nardi I bought from superstock , painted my calipers, installed the NRG hub and quick release, Installed a Himni Racing lower arm bar and am removing my rear wiper. Contemplating bushing replacment.........and rear sway bar........and new wastegate.......and jet-hot 2000 coating on my DP, Mani and turbine housing...... . .

I still need a wideband A/F meter eventhough i wont be turbo? That nardi wheel looks nice. Ive been thinkin on gettin an NRG wheel. Im still tryin to sell my rims. A guy called about them today but he obviously isnt gonna come through. sounded like some highschool kid. He wants to put them on a Pontiac G6 but i dont think he read the flyer lol. it clearly states the the rims are 4 bolt. Im 99.9% sure that all G6s are 5 bolt. But oh well i guess. i need to find some more places to post my flyers.

You need something to moniter your air fuel ratio so we can make sure the extra power you will be making won't be because you are too lean. I thinkj a narrow band will work fine.

MY GOD!....who would have thought putting a lower arm bar on could be such a pain in the ***!!! One of the ******* bolts partially cross threaded itself HALFWAY through installation! WTF?? Thank goodness it was not fully cross threaded, just gave the bolt threads a great new shine when passed through the hela-coil.

Hell I even made sure to loosen the outer A arm bushing bolts slightly and hand thread the ******* in. Never fails, even when taking the proper precautions these ******* cars still bite. Oh well hope it isn't a problem come time when I have to remove that bolt again.

Anyway this bar just barley clears my WG dump tube so I might have to trim the tube shorter or just let it fry the bar at WOT.

Is Matt even alive..?..?
