Neeman is correct.

 

Got the grounds on, simply enough.

The "strange" wire was the plug that connects to the back of the a/c compressor. The plug was still connected, so I never realized it didn't have a wire going to it. Re-pinned and back in business.

I have this brace that went on the back of the intake manifold.

Is it needed?

 

Mine is in a scrap metal pile somewhere haha.

 

That is exactly what I was leaning towards. It's got a mount on the left side of it, right above the tensioner/alt.

I just wondered what everyone else was doing/had done.

 

^ if you have the 2 bolt one installed by the alternator I don't see why you need this one also... I don't think I'm going to put mine back on...

Probably a good idea to have on if you remove the engine with a cherry picker though....

 

Word!

 

This could be true, but now I've had it all apart (god forbid it EVER comes out again) I'll know how to get it out/in quickly and pull the manifolds off anyway.

Helps making it lighter/easier to maneuver.

Quick teaser picture so far.

The manifold isn't bolted up, just sitting on their with my FB TB for mockup reasons. I will be selling the 3bar SOS map after I get it to the tuner for a Hondata 4bar me thinks thats black, b/c the SOS one stands out like a sore thumb now everything is black.



Been a slow process, I've been tucking/re-painting things as I go. New meth system will be here over the week, and my manifold/turbo should arrive here soon as well.

Thanks for all the help thus far gentlemen.

 

i think the new SOS ones are all black, based on looking at their site, bad ass engine bay, what meth kit are you going with now?

 

Top secret, lol.

I'll post up a update to the meth system I'm getting here soon. Don't want to cloud this thread about misc parts and questions... lol.

 

haha, cool, looking forward to it and your new numbers/results
