added new valve cover. Now the rest of the bay needs a good scrub down.

oil feed and return are done. Pics up soon.

[RS_OBD'oh_2]

gettin oily
So the feed fittings are as follows:
1. 1/8bspt (male) to 1/8npt (female)
2. 1/8npt (male) to 1/8npt (female) - oil pressure reduction to save turbo seals
3. 1/8 (male) to -4AN (male) elbow
4. -4 oil line



For the oil pan I drilled a hole and placed in a -10 an bulkhead. It has teflon washers on either side of the hold. I added a little extra sealant prevent leaks. The bulkhead is made for fuel cells.. so oil should not be an issue.

pan is back on and the oil return line is in place

getting closer!
totally wanna check it out when ur done!

[RS_OBD'oh_2]

I'm getting pretty pumped myself. I could start it tonight. Just need new oil and a filter... I'm sure it will be mega rich and maybe even shoot a little fire out the dump. I'll probably wait a day and upgrade the sw on my f/ic 1st.

thats some top work there mate, did you make the boost pipes yourself or buy them? they look spoot on , cant wait to get cracking on with mine now

[RS_OBD'oh_2]

it's a kit that you have to cut and weld yourself. The part number and link can be found on page one (1) of the Worklog.

Downpipe has been welded. It looks like poop for now. I'll probably ceramic coat it in the winter, I can't wait another 3 weeks. And yes, there are 3 O2 bungs. 2 factory (96) and the middle is the AEM UEGO. I'm probably going to use a couple ex clamps and a reducer to tie it in with my old exhaust. I'm giong crazy not having my car up and running.

[RS_OBD'oh_2]

Air intake done. I used a probe GT short ram ($15.00 ebay). The pipe had the correct size nipples for the factory hoses. The center nipple is capped for now, while I am using a breather filter for the valve cover port.
The filter is AEM dryflow.

I'm in love, bromance dude, bromance!

question for you. After installing the cold air intake, what did you do to the little tubes that connected to the air box. Mine are just dangling, and I'm wondering if that would cause any problems. THere is some sort of sensor attached to it.
