finally got something teaser worty..
woohoo!! actually, thats like 10 minutes away since i live 2 blocks from the capitol.. hit me up!! i am gonna need help with my own little project coming sometime this crappy winter...
What's up Ali! Good luck with the install. I'm working on mine as well. Do you still need the 90 degree attachment to drill for the oil return? I still have mine if you wanna buy it from me. Unfortunately, I already sold all my drills and taps. Let me know...
IC piping is in the mail, and I am not impressed with the quality of the return line (looks like a rubber hose). tomorrow i will be finding a shop to get some SS lines from. I really hope I dont have to order these and wait.
coming together...
IC piping wont get here till monday, I am pretty irritated by ground shipping.
and also the company that I bought the BOV adapter pipe from, thought it was a good idea to ship my parts via parcel mail (7-8 days). I dont even know where or when that package will arrive.
I did recieve my upgraded SS oil return line from JEGS
those guys really mean 2-3 buisness days. and it looks
Im really trying to use the 4" intake pipe that came with the kit (for looks), but even with the 4runner distributor cap, it seems to not want to fit. hopefully the coupler can sit at a slight angle, or I will have to use a 3" pipe (still plenty big). im gonna see what the sawzall can do

Nice!!
For the intake I had used a 4 to 3 inch reducing coupler and that helped, but it was still pretty difficult clearing the 4runner cap. Best thing to do is drive it over to a shop and have them fab something up that will fit. Shouldn't cost much.

You may also want to have that manifold wrapped in a layer of heat wrap or get it coated. A turbo heat shield will also be good. The engine bay temps are gonna be insane without that stuff.
Also, those wires that go above the manifold, WRAP THEM!

thanks for the info, im gonna get a blanket for it soon hopefully.
I am not a big fan of wrapping the manifold, im gonna see how it is without it for a while.
the weather is getting colder at least.
