Here, I just used a Modified chevrolet S-10 (1990) radiator, big as a Mx-3 V6 one with custom brackets. Works perfect and hoses look as stock ones.

I picked up some of the final pieces today - the Millenia throttle body so I won't have to make that TB spacer, and I got a thin Hyundai Elantra shrouded cooling fan to cool the car.

Now a week off for classes and *hopefully* next weekend is the big day...

There's some tuning left to do yet - idle level, and actually probably plugging in the knock sensor would help. I also have to route the crankcase oil vapor lines back into the intake - right now they're venting to atmo.

woohoo! congrats man! let us know how the first drive goes!

what did you do for the front subframe again? stock 323 still?

JACK.

[jitb37]

nice sounds great, what exhaust do u have on there?

[Dan [Sac]]

Subframes are MX3 front & rear.

In the vid the car ran off the stock y-pipe and stock cat with no exhaust after the cat (haven't finished it yet). It will get a 2.5" catback with a straight trough Magnaflow muffler installed out of the way so it shouldn't sound too much different.

Right now I'm putting the RHS of the engine back together - I had to tear down all of the tming side stuff all the way to the block because of a busted o-ring on the coolant pipe that feeds the oil cooler...the funny thing is that the 323 has 3" more room to work in there than the Probe/MX3/MX6 so it's not too bad. I should finish buttoning it up soon.

Compression test came out a sterling 205-215 across all 6 cyl. so that made me happy at least. This thing has pretty good upside :D
