I was hoping this would be the result when I saw your user name as the most recent post. How far along is the conversion?

Just got to wire it now and get the final engineers inspection done.
Also waiting for the epa to get back to me regarding if I need a bov or not.
What you cant see in that shot is the plumbing connecting a standard S13 Airbox mounted in front of the LHF wheel to the turbo.
The birth of my first child 5 months ago has distracted me form the project a bit but it is starting to get moving again.

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

no picture but i just got the man purse back from the tuner.

85rwkw @ 8000. conservative tune. he reckons the standard headers/cat is restricting it some bit and a set of cam gears will do wonders.
but alas i'm poor as sh*t.
