Make sure the wg rod doesn't bind. You have some adjustability.

Is that a turbo blanket on the down pipe? Or a purpose made down pipe blanket?

Haha I know, I'm just cheap myself. I actually had an old turbo blanket I was considering trying to fit on my downpipe, then I saw this pic and thought "no, Cran didn't cheap out"

Thanks man! I saw those and wondered how they'd work out. Next time I pull mine apart I think I'll try one

What's that big black box in front of your #renesis, er I mean rew? It says "Ever Start". At first I thought it might be a battery but I know I clean build like yours wouldn't leave that there

Kidding looking good man

Great work Cran,

I have to agree though, that battery no longer belongs in there.

And we've talked about the ECU relocation already lol.

STILL WAYYYY sexier than my engine bay ATM.

I fully plan on owning an REW swapped 8. Whether i buy one done or do it myself, i dunno yet. I want this next one to be a WWP actually. That way i'll own the two best colors.
