Got the electrics done and ECU now communicates with the engine. Timing is now set and I also have a base map for RB26 so it should start easily. I ditched the Walbro fuel pump as it wouldn't have been big enough for E85 and ordered Aeromotive A1000 instead. So, now I'm eagerly waiting for the pump to get the engine running. It now looks like the car might get finished during spring/summer.
Aluminium pipes will be anonized black but otherwise the engine will look like this when finished. Shouldn't take too long anymore.

I got the electric diagram and now all the lights, blinkers, etc. are working. Starter motor also turns but I still have to do some tricks to get the alternator working. Engine electrics are also all done so I hope soon I'll be able to try if it fires up.

And I have no idea what have I been thinking all this time I've had the RB26. Thankfully I realized early enough that it just cannot be run with original turbos and swapped them with HKS GT-SS ones which I hope to create at least some kind of scare factor. 2kg / 1hp definitely is not a bad thing.

Big enough?
HKS kit was completely bolt-on and no additional modifications were needed.
