Update!!!
Pulled RSX engine and trans, sold trans today. I have buyers lined up for rsx parts. I'm hoping this whole car will be gone by the end of next week. Then I can spend some money on important stuff.
The jeep...I have it set in my head that its going to get my miata's injectors and harness on a custom intake and fuel system...on the factory 1950 134ci flathead engine. With mega squirt 1 running fuel only.
Also, if you haven't sold the RSX throttle body yet I will definitely buy it. I need a spare. That is if you're not going to use it (I thought I read you were going to use a bigger one).
Sold trans for $500. I was told "you can get like 800-1000 for it on a forum with the linkage and shafts." The odometer on this car says 260,000 so I figured that's what the trans had on it, and I sold just the trans...no intermediate shaft or anything.
I do not plan on using this intake or throttle body, so yeah, I'd sell it. Not sure what its worth.
One thing I did notice, I unplugged the ECU and fed the wire harness through the firewall. Everything that plugs into the engine is still connected, cause I pulled the engine with the harness attached to it. However, the oxygen sensor harness isn't connected to the engine harness. It comes off a different harness that goes to the engine bay's fuse panel. Will I need this fuse box and harness?

The Kmiata wiring harness has all the necessary wiring for the O2 sensor. I want to say one of the relays is specifically for it as well.

$500 for a 260k mile trans without the linkage, axles, and half shaft seems about right.

Correct, just keep the sensor and it plugs right in to the harness and threads into the bung on our headers.

I wasn't happy with the fact that you can't make decent power on a BP without adding forced induction, and a standalone, and everything else. I just want all motor, factory reliability, simplicity. I have to much going on in my life right now to keep making changes to outdated technology. I think many members on here can agree, once you turbo your car, it's never done. It's like eating 1 potato chip...it's never enough.
on the flip side: there's a strong possibility of getting bored of your car once you're finally "done" and then not even caring about it anymore. which many can also agree with
I'm at that point. I'm done caring. I just want to drive it everyday like a normal car, change oil, put gas in it, and have daily no a/c no p/s hard suspension fun.

Forrest, you have to realize that thirdgen's been doing this for a decade. He has young kids, work is busy as ****, and he just wants to build something fun that he can drive everyday without worrying about it or tinkering with it and just ******* drive the thing.
That said, I think he's also a pretty huge fan of putting things together haha. I've talked to him quite a bit and I honestly think that he'd be tempted to keep tinkering and tuning with an FI miata if he had one that was DD reliable.

I feel like I have eaten too many potato chips every time I step on it. LOL!
Kudos on the build! So tempted.
