That looks a lot like transmission FIPG, and not engine oil.

I have no idea what it is but there has been no problem on my motor, nor any other engine the engine builder has put together with regards to that FIPG ;)

Hmm nice turbo you have there along with the nice looking motor.

So you run a MOTEC too? I run an M-800. Full details when I start putting my build-up thread together.


yes

BUt I run alot more than the M820.

CDI-8

going through a complete re-wire of the ENTIRE car using some really really fancy and super light wire :)

I don't know if mines considered elite or not, but here goes, before NA picture/after NA-T picture, Same exact block/head with a turbo/turbo electronics. Polished turbo, powdercoated upper radiator pipe, pcv pipe, pulleys, waterneck and a few other things, with everything else painted real good. Hopefully someone likes it, I love it clean.

I'm surprised that you did paint those AN fittings black. ;)

Speaking of those, i'm curious how you fit the AQ hoses to the fittings. I heard of many ways to fit them, before I found a way, but I just want to know how you did them.

Supran, I edited your pic so it would be top to bottom... Its easier to see the before and after... Also, why are you only using one clamp on each of your couplers?

Man, that red wire would bug me.. LOL


It would bug me to. In fact I had a red wire just like that one going to my amp and stuff and I taped it up with black tape. so now it blends in with every thing.:icon_bigg

I am going to re-route the positive cable so that it goes behind the fire wall. I am going to try my best to hide the cable. But I have more important projects to do, like install flushmount headlights, install a kill switch under my trunk key hole, polish my valve covers, and install my machined 2J cam. :D
