update..

June 25th:
-Installed the Spearco FMIC and pipes
-Wire tucked the left part of the bay
-relocated the relay box
-Installed the GReddy Type RS BOV






i am so tired.. just got home.. worked on it for 13 hours today....

I got crafty and tucked a bit more on the passenger side, it looks so much cleaner! tucking has to be one of my favorite things to do, simple cheap and the results are amazing smile.gif

the ic took forever to get all on, i had to alter the pipes i had a little bit and it ended up taking forever. Also some t-bolts were tight so at one junction i had to use the crappy clamps..

im surprised at how tame the BOV is, i thought it would be louder. Im going to recirculate anyway smile.gif
but i also didn't get on the car to hard since
A. i was tired
B. the Po-Po were on my road
C. I don't trust those worm clamps

anywho... install:

jesse. ... you should use thread rod and some angled aluminum from your local hardware store to mount that IC. that way you wont really be able to see any of the mounts with the bumper on and it will be a lot more sturdy.

here is how i used to mount it

i was looking for long u bolts at the hardware store when i ended up getting what i got, the way i have it installed its on there real good, and i figured its only blocking about the same amount of air as threaded rod

here is a mock up pic to see how it looks with those:

EDIT: just looked at your pics, they look a lot better...

youll never find a bolt that long... but they sell really long thread rod that you can buy in almost any size. its normally in the hardware isle next to the sheetmetal pieces they sell.

then right next to it ... youll see some angled aluminum. buy that, and a bunch of lock nuts and washers. then cut up the angled aluminum and drill holes in it to make the brackets.

wire tucking etc, basically hiding everything you can to make the engine bay look cleaner, like re routing wires and such or tucking them in the rails or fenders to get them out of sight smile.gif
