            did the ac compressor from the 4cyl bolt up to the v6 engine and what did you do about power steering lines.

                You have to use the KL Power steering, without powersteering it will kill the water pump. And you just have to disconnect the p/s hoses from the racket pinion on the bp, an use the p/s lines from the rack and pinion and everything else off the v6 mx3. i dont know about the A/c. My exhaust is gonna have to stay like that for awhile..im broke, well almost. Its not touching the bumper, its just short. its actually soo short and tilted from the other car it was on, that it clears the bumper.

                            Ok, 2 things, the I heard something about using a input gear from an RX-7 I'm assuming it would be one from a 1st or 2nd gen. Secondly, Umm how should I say this, I don't quite think your tac is caliberated for this engine, start it up and it idles at 3000rpm????? I think not, nore does it sound like 3 - 8000 rpm. NOt trying to be nasty, just how it sounds, but thats a sweet set up.

                              the idle isnt set right just yet, and the Distributor was put in real quick it actually idles at 900rpm, but when u first start it it revs up to 3k, and goes down slowly. And i was holding it at 3k, so i can rev it up slowly. B/c i dont have a radiator, soo i just cranked it up to move it out the garage for a second. KLde/ze rev all bit of 8000rpms. I edited the video for size reaons, but i have a couple seconds extra on it, where it revs all the way back to 1k. ANd the timing is set almost allt he way up...b/c i havent had time to set anything. The Rpm is all electronic so no calibration is nexcceesary especially since im using the proper ecu etc.
