Black red is the actual power to the fuel pump and might be easier and more convent to use. Just make sure you get the right wire cause idk how many blac/red wires are in the kick panel.

Congrats on all your work.
And I see ALOT of opinions and advice on "which way to go" with your build...
1JZ, 2JZGE..WTF? You're doing it right, dude. Get it running on the 7mge, and enjoy it! Then if you want to
upgrade to a 7mgte later, you can build one up while you have a running car. I wouldn't even initially bother with
the turbo tranny/ clutch/ driveshaft swap when you do, either. The W58 is a very nice, smooth(light!) ttransmission, that's been
proven to be good to over 300rwhp. Unless you're planning on a serious turbo motor, I wouldn't bother with the trouble or the expense.
Also when/if you go to an R154 tranny, you'll need to swap out either the differential or the speedo drive gear, so that your mph read right.
And you'll also have to swap out your tach, or open your existing one up and replace some of the resistors, when you go turbo. So I say keep it na for now,
and have fun with the thing.

And we ARE reading your build thread, so keep posting.
:)

Thats correct.hopefully a 7mge will beat a b16 lol
Ive never seen or driven this car so i dont know.

Well since its N/A. Just try to lighten it up. I live in a town full of civics & ricers. I'm not the type that street races but when im caught in the wrong mood i smoke them by a lot of car lengths. & i assume a GE can too since theres only a 32 hp difference.

Yes FACTORY.. & We should probably talk to him about AFTER he goes GTE & has more driving skills. Which will probably be a while considering its a project. It takes a lot of time to make money & get all the needed parts
