I don't think it will put yours to shame Sean, your car is pretty damn nice man. I can only hope that its comparable.

Oh, and I have a little news. THE MOTOR AND TRANS ARE IN THE CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOT, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,WOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
tomorrow morning I will be bolt up the cross member, and torque arm. Then its off to buy some plumbing. hehe Hoping all goes well.
I might need some help when it comes time for all the vacuum/boost lines and chit.
Also, does anyone on here know the wiring on these cars really well? My C207 is a little confusing, since I can't find a pinout for it the matches what I have anywhere.
This has been a long time coming and I am really excited. I feel like a little kid building my very first model. But in the end I actually get to play with it! Hell ya!
Oh and by the way thanks for all of the compliments on the car and stuff!

Ok, so my headers showed up today, and I think they look pretty good. I did have to open up the back 2 holes on for them to line up perfectly. I also found a guy here in GR that had a set of 241's and a ported TB for sale and I picked them up tonight for a pretty good deal. Thanks Kyle. I also mounted up one said TB to my manifold. I also cleaned up my coils and brackets. Put on my new MSD wires and they won't work with these headers, they lay right on the headers. So I guess jegs will be getting a call tomorrow. I think a 90 will work, these are straight and over half of the plug cap is touching the headers. here's some pic.s

where did you buy your headers? and if you dont mind how much where they?

They look like the SW knockoffs that OBX makes. Passed me up already! Nice work, nice ride!

thankyou for that info. i just orderd some.

Any wiring guru's on here?

Get on TGO and look up Pockets threads in the LSX section. He's got all the wiring info you'll ever need for an LSX swap in a third gen

[masterfab]

x2 pocket (jon) know his stuff when it comes to wiring. he builds either from scratch or can alter your current harness.

[TylerT/AZ28]

yea go to pocket, use his threads if you feel like tackling it or send it to him and hell do it

[shawnc16]

That or you could buy a new standalone harness for a fairly good price. (That's what I did) I bought mine from techrods. I think I paid less than $400 for a brand new harness that fits perfect.

I already have my motor harness put together. But the problem I have is, all of the C207 pinouts that I can find have the wrong colors in the wrong places for my car. Maybe its a freak? But none of the pinouts match up to my car. I will give joe a call tomorrow, and see if he can help. But, I will be doing all of the wiring myself, I hope. I have sent Pocket a few PM's over the past month, and he hasn't responded yet. Not sure what to think there? But, I will get it figured out. Not theta hard of a project. Build your own complete wiring harness for a turbo hayabusa, with an after market ecm. Now that is a PITA! Been there, done that!
But my last post I told all of you that the motor was in,and it is. Now, the headers are on, (but I will have to make a custom heat shield for the brakes) and I also got the my spoon crossmember in(which didn't fit by the way), also got my fuel rails in. and the heater box in. Pics are loading as I type, so her you go. And I have to say the headers fit sweet, just a little to close to brake line and master for my liking, but I will take care of that.
I would like to say that the Spohn cross member didn't fit for shit! I had ti bring the hole for the tranny mount out a 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch to make it fit and it fits like a steam in pile of crap! I might just build my own, because I am pretty pissed about the whole deal. As a matter of fact, I asked Steve Spohn about the fit issues that guys on TGO were having, and he told me exactly "Oh those must be old post's, we have fixed all f the fitment issues since than." What a load of BS! I just hope my torque arm fits better than that pos on my trans. I am not happy, and I will be giving him a call first thing tomorrow morning to see what he has to say for the product with his name in it!

As you see, I have good all kinds of room with the corvette water pump and crank pulley. I will be test fitting my new radiator tomorrow to see how much room I have, but I think there should be plenty. I also found some other stuff I think you guys might end interesting. I will post some pic.s tomorrow.
If you look at the core support, this is the only problem with the whole body. I really don't have any idea how you would F this up, but someone did before I got the car. Nothing I can't straighten out but how the heck did they do that?

[shawnc16]

Looks clean. I've never had an issue with spohn products. That's odd.
