Oem fwd 4g63t flywheel, fwd turbo pressure plate, oem replacement sachs clutch for mitsubishi starion.
Motor is in, bolted down. Driveshaft installed and everything looks perfect. I even have room to adjust my cas, open the radiator cap, and a small air filter/brether vent on the valve cover. Going to a local shop where I gety steel braided pipe foe an an fitting 90 for the coolant pipe to turbo, hopefully stell pipe for my coolant pipe from the water neck to radiator along with lower hose to radiator. Using the 4g63 waterpump. Only tying left I think would be the wiring, and exhaust. Looks like I don't really have to extend wires I hope. Not that I'm not up for it, something I don't have to do. Using the truck alternator wires, starter wires, oil pressure switch wire, and extending the single wire for the coolant temp sensor to gauge. Also gotta figure out how to switch on my flex a light fan. I think relay to on position so always on for now since I got the parts to do it that way.

Hks ssq bov, 2g elbow after the throttle plate, and evo 8 fmic. Thinking reduced 2.5 to 2 inch intorcooler pipe with abs plastic straight pipe. Parts at home depo, reducer is going to be a crushed 2.5 coupler to a 2.5 90 elbow to go threw rad support.

the only wires i had 2 extend where the airflow meter wires, the local speed did me fan wiring used a 95 degree (that celcius, we use proper units over here) thermo switch in the thermostat housing through a relay to the fan, i used an evo3 fan, sits at 80 unless sitting in traffic it gets 2 95 then the fan kicks in.
have you turned your turbo 180 on the manifold so it sits the right way for rwd conversion? have you modified the inlet plenum so the throttle body sits 2 the front

I sill get the wiring for the truck coil so I was thinking to conect a relay to it to turn on the fan. It it still has power after I take out the truck ecu. Turbo is already clocked, getting the hoses and pipes at the moment for oil feed, oil return, and coolant pipe. Hopefully done by the end of the month.

Wiring question. Hooked up the 12v ecu back up to truck ecu wire harness, also the 12v ign to truck ecu harness. How did you guys wire the 12v start wire and 12v fusable link?
I think wiring is the last step for me.

Spliced the starter feed wire for the 12v switched ign start. Cut off the fusable link bundle that goes to the battery post and pulled the black/red wire out, connected a fuse by means of spade connectors and spliced into one of the wires off the battery post. Started and stumbled, started none the less. Gonna connectthe apexi avcr later and finish the intercooler.
