There's not much science to burping the system. Everyone seems to have a slightly different procedure.
Personally, I just give the upper hose a few good, solid squeezes while I'm filling the radiator, then cap the system and make sure the overflow tank is full up to the "full" line. Then drive the car for a while (enough to cycle the thermostat) and let 'er cool down. Repeat once or twice, and the system will pretty much purge itself, drawing coolant out of the overflow tank each time it cools down.
So, EMB & 310cc injectors, no AFPR, but a 3" DP and a serious FMIC. How much power / boost are we planning on, here? (and BTW, what are the specs on an SR20's turbo? I've never seen one.)

when you first fire it up have someone hold the compressor wheel still for about a minute...i forget why this is important but i assume it has to do with oil getting throught the cartridge and bearing before the wheel starts spinning, it wont hurt anything, just dont rev the motor, but you wouldnt do that anyways right? lol
