	Hi everyone, i've finally managed to make a start on what will eventually be my daily driver, i have lots of plans for it and there is a lot of work to do but the main plan is to get it running and road-worthy for an MOT, then i can use it while i modify it. I know its a common engine for swaps, the biggest problem i think i will have is i'm not the best at the electrical side of things, so would appreciate it if anyone has any notes or diagrams for the wiring. cheers, John

	The engines are a doddle to wire up. There's a grey and a brown plug on the engine harness that sits down in the left hand front corner of the S13 engine bay.... everything you need is in there and in a slim white plug near the ECU. If you need diagrams etc let me know and I'll dig them out.

	Interesting project - I would have thought there's a distinct chance of you killing that axle. What HP are you aiming for?
