ah remember another thing, if you look at the top three pics, the thermostat housing is different from the one in the fourth pic. i had extra vacuum lines, then remembered this is a 89+ jap engine ( dont know which doesnt have the vacuum lines to the thermostat, 89+ or jspec) so i switched with my old stat housing. oh on the subject of jspec, appearently the metal coolant hose that goes around the back of the engine is different... the driver side is capped off. this means i cant run a line to the heater core...

doh! ya im a dumbass. so instead of pulling the engine again, im just gonna by pass the heater core for now, winter is a long ways off... just hope it dont snow here any more... who am i kidding this car wont be ready for a couple of months... any ways, so instead of the heater core, i went from the back of the head to the part of the pipe that is supposed to blocked off on our cars. its the same pipe so it should work... i hope...

Yes that rig you got on your water by-pass pipe will work, don't worry about that.

Man that thing is dirty, and corroded. Did you replace the timing belt?

What happened to the other nut for the O2 sensor?

Otherwise, nice job

LOL kidding!

ok so i think ive got it figured out. sprayed some carb cleaner in the intake and it fired a couple of times and died. this means a fuel problem. i am getting fuel at the cold start injector so its not the pump or filter. im gonna take the injectors out and have them cleaned.

last night i ordered a new clutch master cylinder as my pedal wont pop back.
