So these are the last pieces to be machined and i have sanded them a bit and ready for powder coating.

The first piece pictured is straight after the intercooler. It goes from 2.5 to 2.75 inch.
I shortened the piece to half the length of the original with only a 45 degree bend. Also it has the machined side for the BOV . MUCH more accessable.





The next piece was the pipe after the ROTREX . Originally it was a S bend with one 180 bend and a 90 degree bend.
Well now its onely one 90 degree bend also it goes from 1.75 to 2.5 inch and straight into the intercooler. It was welded into place to save space.





Also while i was at it my builder said to fix the inlet to the SC for better flow.
So the inside edge of the inlet is left as the sand casting with a lip near the blades.
So we machined it straight, then loctited a machined piece of aluminium into it.
Then we machined the opening with a tapper down to the blades

Just an update on my HID Daytime Driving lights

Update

So i powder coated the brackets that will hold the ballasts.
They have also been mounted.
The location is where the pop up motor is.
It has 3 bolts to hold it to the frame and i used 2







Also made a bracket to hold the LED bracket.
For a really solid mount ill be using the bolt that hold the bumper steel inner support.
This way it wont shake with the bumper





Now im going to use balsa wood to shape the housing to cover the LED bracket

Im happy today !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Engine finished and she is in the car !

Man it was a hard 2 days.

Here she is finished





Big difference the original set up



And going into my car
Cleared everything again :)
Much cleaner with straight lines compare to the previous attempt





This time around i added the hoses to the Rotrex on the engine while it was out.
Just cut to size when i line them up with the hard lines.



Clearing the water bottle and the BOV is just under the fuse box out of sight but accessable
