The issues that is bothering me the most is the wiring harness, it’s set up for a 3 pin CDM alternator and the old one is set up for the 4 pin usdm alternator, I have a 4 pin usdm alternator. I’m currently looking into buying a 3pin CDM alternator. ---

Found a solution to my issue with the alt, cwooek suggested that I depin the 3 pin and wire the 4 pin connector and run the 4 wire sounds like a good solution to me, going to dig into the car tomorrow after work. I still have to make a trip to the yard for a few extra things. ---

If you’re going to go to the junkyard for parts go to millers auto recycling just over the border in Canada. It’s not very far away and its so much better than m & m. Trust me on this one. Last time I was there there must have been at least 10-15 EK’s there. The cars aren’t picked through either almost all the parts are still there. ---

Huge update… Without pics tho. Dylan (nospooldc2) came over and lit a fire under my ass. I had purchased a battery today and wanted to get the car to at least turn over. Got the bolts for the battery tray and starter but and all the bolts I really needed. Put everything in got the battery situated. Jake (06specv), Aaron (slaw), nick (Checko) Seth ( forgot his username on here), and Ryan (93probegt) (barely posts on here lol) came over to talk chill and crack a few wrenches. Joey (not on the boards) stoped over and sold me his Mishimoto intercooler. So long story short we went to turn the key and the car cranks but no fire it’s not getting fuel. When you turn the main relay clicks so it’s not that, fuse for fuel pump is fine. The fuel pump doesn’t prime or you can’t hear it come on I think it’s bad. Called it quits for the night and going to order a pump, maybe a walbro 255. I would like to hit the junkyard and get misc stuff I need. ---

Scored a Bosch fuel pump brand new for $45 shipped it’s a 190lph as soon as it comes in go time. I plan on getting the intercooler installed tomorrow along with putting a few bolts in misc stuff. ---

And Bosch isn’t bad I’ve had great luck with them in the past the walbro on the talon was loud as shit and annoyed me.
