Such a clean, well done car. Great job.

did you use the odb2 metal coolant pipes or odb1 spider hoses?
what did you do for coolant sensor? did you just split the four prong sensor?

I used the metal OBD2 pipe and blocked the TB heater part of it. Used the brown top e30 coolant sensor and split the wire off of the 4-prong sensor and routed it to the e30 sensor which I tapped and threaded into the TB heater hole on the head.

I really thought I'd have mine running first. Congrats on getting her done... I look forward to seeing it in person one day!

I won! Haha. I'm single with no kids, so I have oodles of free time.

Nice work dude, looks to be super clean!

Thanks for the compliment!

Just changed my pump m52 with one from Autozone, first on lasted 2 weeks. Second one is now 1 week old, but it only takes about 40 min to change and Autozone asks no questions about giving you another one as many times as you need them. Lifetime warranty for a $100.

2 weeks? Not exactly a vote of confidence for Autozone.

awesome work! very clean looking swap, job well done.

Thank you sir.

No project is without at least one hickup. My power steering pump is totally f-ed. It was making terrible noise when I turned and I hoped it just needed to work some air out of the system, but after 75 miles it hasn't gotten any better. Turning takes some muscle, so I don't think its pumping anything. It came with the motor, so who knows what condition it was in. Has anyone tried the rebuilt ones from AutoZone? (http://www.autozone.com/autozone/par...vice=263652132) I'm ususally skeptical of their rebuilt stuff, but its a lot cheaper than ~$400 for a new pump.

Good to hear, and pics are always appreciated!
Really clean looking setup you have going sir!

[Boise]

It Really doesn't look that bad. It's wi, kind of have to expect it.
Dons is an up and down kind of place, that's actually about 20 miles from me.

Sent from the future. Or my phone, who knows.

Forget about the engine, you tranny brace is solid! Love it, I just wish I took a few pictures when I was doing the install.
