Default New engine bay pics

Started out with this.


Randy ordered some parts and began to redo some things.


First removed the bumper.



Next cut the old end off the intercooler and cut a new path for the piping.



Remove all the old piping and BOV as well as the battery.



Some big pipes, but needs some more custom fit.



Next find a new home for the battery, out of sight and tucked away.



Not just anyone would cut the elbow off his own turbo to weld on your IC. Thanks Randy!!!



All done, new 3 inch piping with HKS SSQ BOV in the mix. Cleaner no?



Don't mind the wiring, was temporary till I can tuck it all away right.

Thanks to Randy for the awesome setup and redoing the dump tube. I'm very happy with the results. Now a few more little tweaks and it will be ready to head to NOPI in a few weeks.

The overflow tank is being moved as we speak, and the pipe goes through the hole and the coupler clamps to both, guess I don't understand what you mean by unclampable.

There were a few guys up around where I'm from (Traverse City, Michigan) that had a few things done from Neuken(SP?) that were from Indiana. One drove a beautiful red S14 w/ an SR20 swap, TE's etc. Do you know him?

Nice clean up by the way.
