One question...how come you did not do fuel rails since you were in there. Is there more than enough flow on the stock rails?
The stock rails biggest restriction was the stock banjo fittings. I did away with them and have the AN fittings feeding it. The Stock rail has a inner bore dia equal to a AN-8. Remember this AN-8 feeds only four injectors. I cant see where the engines demand for fuel will ever surpass what a AN-8 can deliver. To be honest, a AN-6 would probaly give it all the fuel it would ever need.

Not to much to take photos of. Old engine is pulled from car, working on mounting the water cooler up front, Also trying to decide where the oild cooler is going.
On the engine I am working on getting the wire harness on it (trying to make it look good).
Also making up a set of aluminum covers to cover the COP's

Pics coming soon.

Wow, I just found this thread and it is pretty impressive. One question, you ever look into fitting a TVS blower on your car? I am running an MP90 on my Tiburon and the guy who made my kit just put a TVS on his Tib and it makes a significant more power and is a lot more efficient. I was not able to read through the entire thread, but what size TB are you runnning?

At this point I am just looking at running the whipple, I plan on a 15lb and a 20 lb tune. I have a ported 75mm TB and a 80mm TB, I am not 100% decided on which one I will run.

Awesome. Your car is truely amazing! Good luck with the rest of the build.

Edit - I missed that you are running a whipple. I thought you were running an MP90. The whipple is more efficient then the Magnusson MP90.
