Hi MAtt

If this works out well I will probably do my Patrol should be an interesting drive. As for the loom it was a bit of a b**ch but not to bad. First thing you will need ecu reflashed remove security etc. As for the loom remove all unnecessary wiring lights dash abs heater etc. Have to build a new fuse box and relay box to run new wiring for starter, fuel pump, thermos. What are you planning on putting it in.

Hi Guys

Any recommendations on fuel pump? I don't think the standard el pump will be up to it.

I was recommended a walbro 225 for N/a and the next one up 440 for when I go to turbo

realistically the standard pump should have enough supply to start it, so as long as the lines are right it should start?

Yeah i could have put the lines on wrong. When i hooked them up i thought it was a bit weird as one is longer than the other and I had to stretch one to get it on and the other onen has plenty of slack so could be wrong way around.
