Cheap ebay style go for 25-30 new and nice Greddy onces go for $75.
I just had to buy a sandwhich plate for my build and it ended up being $40 bucks for a nice greddy one locally.
That should help with the pricing.

You're still fighting with the oil pressure sender? It shouldn't be on there with much force, although you might be fighting some 18 year old locktite. Holy **** girls born when your car was made are old enough to have sex with, scary thought.
Anywho try some heat with a butane torch or something similar, plumbers pliers work great too, expand them so you can grip it with one hand and start prying.
Oh, and don't forget, righty tighty, lefty loosy.

No start :( At first I was getting no tach signal in Megatune, found something loose in my LC1 wiring and crimped it down...now I have tach but no start still. I'm sure i'm getting fuel cause the LC1 reading is changing as if raw fuel is getting dumped into the exhaust. I'm done working on it today though, i'm ready to relax and drink beer. I just hope its not my coils since I gave my extra coils to a friend.
Here is a couple of pictures of how it sits now:
And my rats nest of wiring. If I cant get it started with regular troubleshooting tomorrow then i'm going to remove all the crimp connectors and solder all this like it should be.

It runs! It drives!
It goes ssshhhhhhhSSSHHHHHH-PSSSSHHHH!
What a hoot!
Have an exhaust leak from the DP to the cat. There isn't a gasket in there so it doesn't surprise me. Getting tons of resets now on my MS which is bullshit cause I just added more grounds and soldered everything. Maybe I need to re-gap my plugs.

Congrats on getting it started! I'm on the same build (close) and working slowly to get this finished so I can hear my BOV again haha. Though I'm not looking forward to tuning the E-Manage. I have absolutely no idea on how to operate this thinger, but I'm sure I'll figure it out sooner or later.
But yeah, this build thread answered a few questions I had and verified it with pics...Thanks!!

I cannot for the life of me get the oil pressure sender off the block with the engine in the car. If I had known this would be this huge of a PITA, i would have put my oil Tee in while the engine was out. Omg its seriously impossible, there is no way to get a wrench on the nut behind the sender unit and actually have room to move the wrench to loosen it. I'm thinking about either picking up an oil filter sandwich plate or figuring out how to make the oil port on the hotside work with my -3AN oil feed hose.
I see I'm too late, but there's a how-to starting on post #7. 1-6 is good for a little laugh too.
