!!5sfte!!, the second coming! Options

yep, you heard me. I'm coming back to the 5sfte community. Doing things a little different this time around, here's what I can remember so far that I'm doing differently:

Genuine HKS BOV, the new 2007 design
Got my injectors cleaned and flow tested at witchhunter. They were is poor condition before and are great now!
Going with a SAFCII instead of a neo. I got it for about $75 cheaper, and it measures knock. I was gonna get a greddy emanage ultimate, but I don't have a laptop to tune it with and it just looked too complicated for me to figure out how to tune it by myself, so maybe I'll upgrade later.
Got a custom stailness braided oil feed and drain line kit made specifically for my 5sfte. I just gotta weld a fitting onto my oil pan but I'm having a hard time finding someone willing to do it.
I'm fixing my radiator fan which was broken before. the motor fell out of the blade cause it was hooked up wrong
I'm using a regular sized radiator instead of the koyo, for a little more engine bay room
I'm relocating the battery to the trunk
and I'm cutting my IC piping down a lot for a cleaner install, might even paint them like LewFX

that's all I can think of right now, pictures to come. hope to be running by the end of the week after 6 months of down time!

Weird bends and angles, but hey it works.

that was just a test fit, it won't look that wierd when it's finished.

Manny, the return line is -10AN and the feed line is -4AN.

the feed should be NO larger than -3an, with a restrictor.
you should know that by now.

lew, unless you have beaded pipes, and or aluminum piping, tbolts are just fine. if they ARE beaded, and or aluminum, ya just cant overtighten them.
constant tension clamps are IMO the best ones of all, asside from the 250$ EA wiggins clamps but theyre definetly not cheaper than the t-bolts.
when i redo my piping here at some point, thats what i'll be using.

I'm going be using a restrictor for the line, I don't see how it'll be a problem though as with a restrictor the same amount of oil is going to enter the line anyway. The guy who made the kit said he's used -4AN lines on CT-26's all the time without any problems.

btw, I got my oil pan back and the drain line did turn out to be about an inch too short, so I'm taking the line to a shop to see how much it would cost for a slightly longer line, hopefully they can reuse the hose ends cause I'm just about out of money at this point...
