Here's a slightly newer pic. The install still gets a HKS DLI, Saikou Michi Oil Can, new Battery Terminals & Power Wires, additional Black Powdercoating on some pieces, and quite a few more Titanium Bolts.. I haven't done too much to the car lately, I need to get back on it soon..

Thanks Fella's.. Going for a bit calmer look with the black parts, hard to see but almost everything is all black, the block, oil pan, ps pump, ac pump, alt, tensioner arm, waterneck, lower runners, fuel rail, oil filter relocator, etc.. I'm gonna do the valve covers, plug cover, and probally the intercooler pipes soon as well.
Other than the heater hose there is not one rubber line on the entire engine, I tapped or welded everything for NPT/AN fittings including all ps lines/cooler/pump and evap connections. Also rebuilt the engine harness to eliminate the 40some wires from the auto trans/tt's and wire tucked the rest. (I may do the chassis harness one day but not anytime soon)
Polished engines are awesome and I love the look, but alot of maintenance to keep looking pristine. So I though I'd try a different route.

Ps I'd like some more info on your catch can/breather set up if you don't mind sharing the mechanics/ theory-function behind it.
Thanks,
