Mitchocalypse build V2

I love the Setrab coolers. Dink up the threads on the fittings? Just pull them out and swap them, no need to swap the whole cooler like the Mocals. Although when the coolers themselves are dinked up, not much you can do.

Good job on the fuel pump wiring too!

thanks for the comments guys!

did a decent amount of stuff the last little while which was never really posted.

finished "taping" up the intake manifolds and installed the block off plates. Only thing is this one on the back that you see in the picture is too thick to work with my secondary fuel rail so i'll have to get the FFE one as well. (that is also using FFE's rounded nuts. the BOP is simply too thick.)

and finally got to play with the turbo! I tried polishing the compressor housing. and failed. so i'll have to take it somewhere to get polished but i'll wait and get a few things done at the same time. So excuse the fact that it looks like shit.

I also got a new manifold that is actually usable. i would say it's a 7/10. I'll definitely leave it for now but down the road it will be something i want to upgrade. The DP on the other hand is an absolute abortion and I will be having a new one made the second I can drive the car out to the rotary clinic where I live.

anyhoo, you can sort of see the manifold here, as well as the oil return i made.

mounted the catch can here:

and converted the rear turbo oil return into a vent so now there is a vent on both sides of the engine (here and on the oil neck)

and we get this:
(the long vent line isnt really held down by anything but i'll attach it to something so its not so much just hanging there)

pretty well the same picture:

a little piece of engine dress up that nobody will notice. Ever.

LIM and w/p housing "on."
(Sort of a mock up but they are on for now, okay?!?))

and i wanted to test fit the fuel lines under the UIM to make sure they work with the coils and everything. they do.

and then for shits and giggles, lets get a little bit ahead of ourselves:
