CAASV... Very nice.. You should sell your Intercooler seal to someone still using the topmount...

You should be proud of that engine bay..

You should relocate your battery. Other than that and the shroud not being on yet it looks good.

NJGreenBudd thanks for stopping by and for the complements. I actually followed your thread when you were getting yours done.

Update:

I finally got a map for my haltech but to my surprise the version of my ECU doesnt work with my ignitors and coils so I have to hook up 3MSD 6AL boxes on it for it to work. I already have the MSD units but the problem that I have is that Im not exactly sure on how to hook them up. Ive been advised on 3 differen ways on how to do it. I just want to make sure I actually do it right. Ive tried researching everywhere and was unsuccessful. If anyone has some kind of diagram ar something on it please post it so I can get it done. again thanks for the support and for stopping by to see my project.

I like seeing these cars come together like this.

Are you running a parallel rail setup or series for your fuel system there? And what about a fan shroud or are you going electric?

Im running parallel fuel rails, Im still undecided on what Im going to do with the fan shroud. I tried installing the factory one but it hits te fan. I guess it is because the radiator is a little bit thicker. If I can fibure something out Im probably going to go with the double electrical fan setup.

Update.

I finally installed the 3 MSD boxes so Ill be trying to fire it up pretty soon!!!!

Your Haltech should work fine with the stock ignitors and coils.....what ECU is it?
