OK, since I JUST finished putting this engine together last night I will list some identifying features below. First off though, the AEM intake is red. Also the fog lights are strange because they are not only orange, but also catz units. I have never seen a set like that before myself.

MOTORSET IDENTIFYING FEATURES...

WIRING HARNESS
The engine wiring harness is an OBD1 S-14 harness, no extra evap crap. It was wired by me for use in the s-13 chasis. The entire harness has been de-loomed and re-taped. All connections are soldered and shrink wrapped, no butt connectors. The wiring for the P/S switch is also routed through the engine harness and comes out at the MAF plug. All un-used wires on the connectors have been de-pinned, only needed wiring is present. By the ECU the un-used A/C wiring, consult wiring, and the generic scan tool data wire have all been isolated and labeled. The GST data wire is a long red wire bundled up by the ECU, it's easy to spot if someone's selling the engine. Also the pigtail for the underdash connector is noticeably longer then it needs to be. The harness is basically squeaky clean and would stand out, I am personally pretty proud of it.

EGR BLOCK-OFF PIPE
What's unique about this is that rather then pinching the pipe and welding it I decided to start at the outside and fill it in, just for practice. So it's basically just a round tube welded shut at the end. I would know it if I saw it for sure.

DAMAGED MEGAN DOWNPIPE
The car has a Megan s-14 header with a cat delete. The wire mesh on the inside of the flex joint on the downpipe had come loose and was clogging the exhaust. I ripped it all out of there and it looks noticeably mangled on the inside.

BRAND NEW COOLANT GUAGE SENDER
The coolant guage sender was installed by me the night the car was stolen. Those do not commonly go bad. The guage sender is the one wire one with a spade connector, not the red one that always goes bad. The belts and radiator/heater hoses are also brand new.

HOSE CONNECTORS ON BOOSTER HOSE AND P/S RETURN
I had to use a brand new brass hose connector to hook-up the brake booster hose. I also used a plastic hose connector on the P/S return lins since my car had an external cooler and I sold him my hoses.

Basically, the engine will stand out because everything is just so clean. I was a super nice engine and ran great. It's absolute bullshit that some fuckwad just had to take it, ESPECIALLY since he has JUST got it back.
