Was able to work on installing the radiator, oil cooler and oil pump today.
I'm not sure if the -8AN x 3/8" NPT Male Union fitting should be screwed all the way into the oil pump. I was able to screw the left as much as I can without forcing it. I don't want to put on too much torque and break the threads.
On the install instructions the fitting goes to the nut...

Yeah the oil pump fittings are like that but you might want to go back and put honda bond or some type of sealant on the threads. I forced it down some on my car and no leaks but it leaked on my friend's car without honda bond.

Yep, I don't think those injectors are right. I have the FIC 1000s for mine and they look different.
By the way, just from eyeballing it, do you think the turbo would clear everything if the compressor was rotated 180 degrees so that the outlet was facing downwards? Considering upgrading to the PTuning stuff, but I don't like the piping going up... would much rather have it go down and under like with most other bottom mount kits.

I see what you are saying. Clocking the outlet downwards will not clear the frame.

Guess I might have to just compromise on that.
