Why did you remove the wiring harness? You are making ALOT more work for yourself. All you need is the Engine harness for the SR. You will need to tie into 6-7 wires to start the car. Put the harness back. Feed the SR harness through and do a little wiring. Use existing factory wiring, fuses and relays. It's the easiest way, I guarantee it.

1.) I used the B12 tie rods and rack w/ B13 hubs and brakes.

2.) I used the B12 shifter linkage, but I had to cut it and lengthen it about 2 inches. You will also need to lengthen the exhaust pipe by 2-3 inches to mate to the SE-R header. I used the B12 throttle cable and clutch cable.

3.) The only B12 mount I used was the passenger side mount. I made a bracket to adapt it to the SR20. Charles has another technique which is probably the easiets and most effective for motor mount upgrades. This is documented in NPM. You can use the B12 front dogbone if you have the GA16i. The JWT solid SR20 mounts uses the same style dogbone, just with a harder rubber. I had to lengthen the mounting points from the radiator support to allow the dogbone to mount to the SR correctly. For the tranny mount I drilled a 1/8" plate of mild steel and bolted the SR tranny mount to it and bolted it to the frame using existing bolt holes for the GA mount.

4.) Upgrading to the SE-R master cylinder is only a good idea if you have upgraded the rear drums to discs. Otherwise proportioning will be off. If you are just going to swap the boosters, it'll bolt right up. B12 brake lines will work fine with SE-R front brakes. Use whatever is in teh best condition.

5.)I used the B12 crossmember. Center the engine in the bay and build a piece of square channel to support the mount where it needs to be. Then weld and attatch the dogbone. These two mounts absorb the most torque of the engine. Once these are done, make the other two mounts. I beleive Charles used a hybrid B12/B13 crossmember, or maybe the whole B13, not for sure.
