Stay tuned.....

Twin SU L6 FI manifold work. Still got plenty of smoothing to do. Will be using 280ZXt throttle bodies as they don't have a lot of junk on them, and they are slightly larger than the SU flange (50mm). The bolt pattern of the ZX TB is slightly different, so the original SU mounting holes were welded up. New holes for the ZX TB will be drilled and tapped.

Here is the schematic I created for my R34 RB25DE Neo swap. It started right up last night .

 

Note that this schematic is only good for R34 RB series engines!

Pete the car looks great! I like the color combo and the engine install looks very clean. Can't wait to see/hear it in person.
