Let me get this straight, you bought a busa engine, and hid it at someone elses house so the wife wouldn't notice? Wish I could hide such a large purchase! Mine caught me out on a borrowed ball joint splitter she thought I had bought, and I quite

ordered a load more stuff from sbd this week. including a sump gasket for a dry sump setup so i will fit that tomorrow.
1st was a busa high flow fuel rail

a billet clutch slave for the d/s setup

and a wiring harness with can leads and throttle blip for full throttle upshifts

i then had to fit the fuel rail which meant stripping the throttle bodies bare




i then had to modify the injector harness as the new loom is designed for uprated injectors and im usiong standard type for now. fitting kit came with kit. 1st i had to remove the injector harness from the throttle bodies

cut the loom and strip wires back. slide the heat shrink on

fit the connectors and heat shrink them

and finally the looms done

dont dare post any mate. decided on stripping out all wiring today to tidy up and it seems to have turned into a full re wire. its in bits at the moment. still waiting on my engine mounts to make progress,but its been 4 weeks now and still waiting!
got my kumho v700's fit today though so they look ok. and re routed some dash wiring. next weekend i should make some good progress.
