Looking good!

 

Where did you get intake manifold and intake? Totally sick man! Looks expensive?.

 

 

Is that a renny alt?

 

I bet so, I believe his swap is completely functional. I can't remember who did it on his car but they do clean swaps. He bought the car that way IIRC.

 

no kidding.. is that hardline coolant piping down below?

 

Yep



Correct
OMP is not functional because of space so it was removed but everything else works like stock.
KDR aka Speed1 did the swap for the original owner and I bought it from him.

Here's what my engine bay is looking like currently.

^ make sure your CAI is as straight as possible. Even the slightest offset in the piping causes the MAFv readings to jump.

 

Ill be sure to check on that.

 

Cool beans. Try rotating the piece that connects to the throttle body clockwise just a tad. The rest looks ok

 

I was contemplating on a build thread or not. But its almost done so the build thread will die quickly

 

Just ordered some serious functional eye candy for my engine bay. Hope to have some pics by the end of the weekend.

 

 

Never mind I got the information i was looking for.

 

Hella functional... The piping is not wrapped with carbon looks its lava mat meant to reflect heat away from the "cold" pipes.

you guys notice any sound difference after taking the insulation out in the engine bay?

(not talking about the hood)

 

We both have uncatted turbo rotaries. So yeah, no

 

Scott,

I would coat that try black, it looks unfinished contrasting agains all the other coated parts.

Or just sell it to me and don't worry about is

 

Damn love the bay 9krpmrx8 and it looks similar to what i want to do to mine.

 

Thanks, I have a few details to work out looks wise but it's getting there. I will redoing the catch can hose and fitting, and doing a black oil feed line to the turbo. Plus I have a new power distribution block (powers the boost control, PLX module, etc.) going in that will look much better and deal with the elements better. After that I will have a few more things powder coated or replaced that have taken some abuse over the past ten years like the brake master cylinder, etc.

 

Nope.

That crap just collects dirt

cool thanks, that **** is coming right out.

 

lol thts the first thing i did to mine and im all stock. Next up is a wire tuck.
