Engine bay paint and stuff...
waiting on the oil cap, a little more black tubing (clean up the fat main harness), Oddessy battery, billet hold down, and the NRG E Pac to finish..




this one is pre catch can.. had to make a weird little extension for the PCV breather to clear the fuel line (didn't like it)

wow that looks nice, will you give me more info on your oil catch can set up, I am looking at getting one this weekend prob. I see you have it running from the PVC valve but then you have just a filter on the return, I thought you had to run the other end back to the intake? any info you can give me would be great.
first..
OBX was the only TB spacer I could find.. its solid and clean, dont think you could mess up the quality on a TB spacer too much, I just don't like the over kill on the spiraled bore, thinkin about using it as a template to have a smooth bore one made, slight gain can be felt on a hard launch, the kind of gain you only feel the first day, then get used to, I want to dyno this one, then the smooth bore, and without any and see what the deal really is.. for those that want to know, the letters OBX are not stamped on it visibly after instal, a little paint and noone knows. If anyone knows of another company that produces them for sale.. post it up.

The catch can setup..
any universal catch can will do in this configuration, the cheap ones leak air, when hooked up to your intake, and throw a CEL for too lean. If you just cap the port on the intake (that ugly blue cover with the clamp was all I could come up with), and breather the can, your fine. Make sure the cap you use doesn't leak air. The only people that think it needs to be there, is the EPA and CARB. To reburn the oily air. However I want my intake clean, with as little running to it as possible, that could be removed and was..
hope that helps..

is all that paint or powdercoat? if its paint, then you did a really good job.
I am starting to like the no engine cover look, I wish I had the time to tear my engine apart like that and do something like you have done but a diff color.
