I got my order in 2 days. Much faster shipping than I expected. Great customer service too.

Got my upper motor mount inserts in this morning...actually about..20 minutes ago. I have to finish up editing some photo's and a myspace then i'll head up to the shop to get these babies put in. They look and feed SOLID

na man, you needs to get dat uber jdm hytech header to get da most powa out your d series son.
j/k man. Anything will suffice on a D. Looking forward to more updates. Motor looks good in there, like it was meant to be almost. Too bad its not a K series.

Here's a really crappy pic of the bay with the intake, fuse box and battery:

Gonna put in the motor mount inserts tomorrow, along with bolting up teh shift linkage and putting in the axles.

the bay and radiator are soo nice and clean it makes me the engine look like pure dirt lol

good job though!

 

[Genuine Rolla]

I think tomorrow i'm going to try to clean up the block better.

Goals for today:

• Finish tucking HID wires
• Bolt Fenders and Sideskirts back on
• Wire sidemarkers & City Lights
• Re-install fuse box and Battery
• Install prothane upper motor mount inserts
• Install boomslang jumper harness and FIRE HER UP!!!

Update:

Jumper harness just came in. The motor mount inserts went in very easily. We had both the left and right sides in within a matter of minutes. The engine is now STIFF. It doesn't move at all.

Got the HID wiring all tucked, put the battery back in, along with the fuse box. Now we just gotta put on the fenders, and headlights.

Truth be told, I stole that from I think Beelz..
And to give proper credit-

But far and away the worst?

WalMart nEverStart.

Go to any parts store's battery core box and check. At least 50% will be nEverStart batteries and virtually all of them will be less than 3 years old. Most less than 2.

So we attached the conversion harness to the ecu, plugged in the battery, etc

Turn the key and the only lights that come on are the brake and ABS lights....none of the accessory lights come on and we can't hear the fuel pump priming. CD player turns on as well.

Any place we should start to look at for the wiring..? We checked the grounds but we're going to check them again.

 

[Szady]

Does the ECU click over? If not, make sure you got a good ground comming off the P/S pump. Thats a main ground for teh ECU.
