Hehe, if only the garage were mine.

When i say "tucking her into bed" i mean, getting ready to put her in the driveway and park my mom's Honda Crapcord in its place.

I just get to use the garage when i'm at my parents place.

Nice setups for both cars... Good luck getting it finished Iotus. 13 hours- hell I have spent half that just tring to get out one stuborn bolt. At least it felt that way.

Directfreak-
Is that line to the Fuel Pressure regulater attached to the carb bonnet? I believe 680rwhp castrated me on that. he said you have to have that on the intake manifold so you dont flood your engine. Are you flooding between shifts?

No, it's the BOV. The FPR is on the firewall.

They DEFINATELY Deceive you. That is a 13B-RE engine from a Cosmo, with a BIG-*** Front Mount intercooler.

My Haltech was fried and I had to send it back to AUS. It will be a while before I get it back, and even longer before I can have it tuned. This way I can run it now (soon).

Oops, I just Re-read your question. Yes it is, for now.
I am making a new line to come off a "T" soon for that, so it can control the RRFPR and the Profec B.

There the line only sees boost and no vacuum. Why would I want my FPR to see vacuum?

If I need to change it, please tell me why.

My Jealsousy overwhelms me. I am just starting out now with a 12a 1980 and I lust for a 13b turbo. Great jobs and real shiny too. You know it's good if it's shiny

I had posted it earlier. I have a Mode one widebody waiting to go on. I mounted the I/C for use with the Mariah front end.

This is only temporary, to get the car dialed in.
