FEB 26 UPDATES
We spent some time with the car today, sorting out a few issues. Bought aluminum piping to re-plumb the intercooler with 2.5" piping. Re-located the intercooler in the lower grill (yes!). Located a spot for the fuel pressure regulator. Next challenge is a cable throttle body that works and connecting to the pedal. The one I got off eBay, supposedly for an '04 matrix) doesn't fit the manifold at all. Removed the fuel pump, bought and installed a Walbro 255, which just fit. STOCK PUMP (about the size of a D cell battery, LOL) NEXT TO A BOSCH -- THAT WILL DEFINITELY NOT FIT NEXT TO THE WALBRO 255 WHICH WAS SUBSEQUENTLY INSTALLED

kou, I need a throttle body that will fit, think I could bolt up a whole 1st gen mani onto it?
I definitely have to convert to cable.

fuel cell, only $180 and would make plumbing MUCH easier for your return line you've added

I'll let you know what I find, I need this resolved before next Thursday.
The '04 matrix TB did not fit, bolt pattern was too big.

Hey garm well doing with your motor I like the red of your top cover. The pump is the same I will be using in my setup, I had been always told that Walbro is the best choice for fuel pump selection.
The electric water pump seems a good idea. Will add it in when I get stable in cash... |

so if you're going to all this hard work to build an engine, 20 mins to drill out an adaptor plate from some aluminum shouldnt' be that big of a deal?
