I have been really busy with work lately, but I had a chance to get a few things done. I took it up and had a 4 wheel alignment and it drives perfect now, better then my 240 ever did. I put on a bunch of silicon reducers and an air filter that came in last week, I pretty much have all my boost leaks fixed. I have been tweaking it and taking it out on test drives all night and I finally have it where Im happy. I added a fan which has helped alot. Next step is to get a new exhaust made
O yea I made the hood fit by shaving the inside of it and taking off the timing cover and backplate, but then it rested right on the belt. I just put some kind of material over the hole for the time being.

I read through the entire thread, and wasn't going to post until reading this 
A 13B-REW will run for a long, long time at the 300 rwhp level. Unreliable? Only if the owner does something stupid. I just don't really see the point to all this work.
I don't have anything nice to say otherwise, so I'm not going to say anything at all

Sorry for the lack of updates, my car has been sitting up at my local tune shop for like 2 months waiting for a discontinued power fc for my rb25. I should be picking it up this week.

I think if you have to ask that question, you shouldn't do this swap. Wiring is the LEAST of your worries, and this is comming from someone who has this swap on his FD.

well i was asking about the wiring because i have been researching about doing this swap since my friend is willing to sell me his rb25det with rb20 trans for cheap as hell, i know this swap requires a **** ton of work, modifications, and fabircations. i never saw anyone talking about the wiring so i was just wondering if it was that easy to wire or a pain in the *** to wire. just figured i would ask befor i jumped in to the swap my self.
