well here are the pics overall i am very pleased. please excuse my messy storage unit.

Update: I received the jmf forward facing manifold today. So far very pleased all the welds look phenomenal and all the machine work for the flanges and bolt treads look amazing I will follow this post up with pictures tomorrow as I plan to install it

I also had a concern about cooling issues but I ran my car last summer with a half size aluminum civic radiator and never had any over heating. Given my car also isn't a daily driver so I kinda pick and choose what days to drive it and normally sits on hot days since I removed the a/c.

I was leaning towards the stm manifold but the price of the jmf is too good to pass up. And the quality of the parts I have seen from jmf always look great.

Will do. Says it takes 2-4 weeks to ship but I plan to keep this thread updated for other DSMers in the future.

Just to give this a update I decided to order the jmf forward facing manifold for my 2g. I guess I'll be the guinea pig for this one. I even asked jmf if they had pictures and no luck.

Wiper motor like stated above

Impressive. Sounds a lot better then I thought it would. Good work

Looking good!

I tried the galant alternator over the summer at idle I had low 12s and would go up as the Rpms did. I want to add it was a cheap alternator from autozone.

I'm sure it could be done if someone knows how/ has the programs to do so.

I've read a lot of reviews on the stm manifold. The jmf manifold is roughly $200 cheaper so looking to see if it's worth spending the extra money. I really like how the stm manifold sits the turbo but haven't seen how the jmf mani sits in a 2g.

Let me start by saying I'm not a newbie to the dsm world but a newb to this site.I've been looking at forward facing turbo manifolds for my 99 gsx and came across the manifold that Jmf builds. Their website only shows you the manifold installed on a 1g car and I am curious as to what it looks...

None the cel is on but not throwing codes

i have a 99 gsx with a full 6bolt swap the motor and harness came from my old 97 gst (never threw a CEL in gst). i did the swap last summer and since then the car has had a CEL on but isn't throwing any codes in DSMlink. has anyone heard or experienced this? a little info on the car 6 bolt swap...
