Yo Yo, As some of you know already the SR is finally finished, and again I would like to thank everyone for the support and advice (especially mats and matt for coming over to the shop to help me out). I still have some things to work out like tach not working and fuel pump and getting my gauges hooked up. But Im just so happy its done. Does anyone know where I can get a cluster dimmer for my car? I tossed mine because the SR clusters don’t use a dimmer and I used the same harness from my old cluster that has the dimmer built in, now the cluster won’t light up and I think that is the reason. On the dimmer harness there is two red wires and a black, I tried jumping the wires to complete the circuit but this didnt do the trick. Anyways, some people were requesting photos of the new front end and also before and afters of today since I washed it for the first time in a month. Trust me thought these before pictures make it look alot cleaner than it actually was. Here we go… A few before the wash. ![http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa184/tperry109/95%20S14/IMG_2793.jpg](http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa184/tperry109/95%20S14/IMG_2793.jpg) ![http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa184/tperry109/95%20S14/IMG_2794.jpg](http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa184/tperry109/95%20S14/IMG_2794.jpg) ![http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa184/tperry109/95%20S14/IMG_2792.jpg](http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa184/tperry109/95%20S14/IMG_2792.jpg) And before we get to the after wash photo’s Im going to post some other pics with the old front end. ![http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa184/tperry109/95%20S14/IMG_2672.jpg](http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa184/tperry109/95%20S14/IMG_2672.jpg) ![http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa184/tperry109/95%20S14/IMG_2681.jpg](http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa184/tperry109/95%20S14/IMG_2681.jpg) And here they are as it sits now.

If you don’t run a boost controller the boost will stay stock with is 7 psi. With that boost controller, you might be more likely to spike and run 10 psi. You can’t use a boost controller to turn down the boost beyond what the factory wastegate is set at. ---

My understanding was that the S14 SR’s run at 11psi when the boost solenoid is hooked up which it is on my motor, running the cheap boost controller is keeping it at 7psi right now, I ran it before installing the boost controller at it ran at 11psi but very rough on the stock fuel pump. Either way, fuel pump is going in today and its going back up to 11psi. ---

Fuel pump will be installed today anyways.
