Are you using a mechanical OMP or pre-mixing?

Oh and lately I've been noticing that people are using those red ignition coils. What brand are they and are they cheaper than the Bosch ones that Microtech provides?

Those coils are MSD Blaster SS units. The specs of them are at www.msdignition.com

I'm using MSD DIS units, myself, if you're looking for other options.

yup they are like $30 a pop ,so i guess they`re cheaper than the bosch coils , i like them because they are kinda an upgrade at the same time
and no so far i am pre-mixing, i`ll be trying to mak esome kind of ghetto-rig-device later to make the omp work ...but thats later
all i have to do now is bleed my clutch, finish my i/c piping ,and check that damn bump steer,then we`ll see what this baby can do

Here's a question for you that I've been wondering about.

Are you using the accessories (PS and AC) from the 20B, or from the stock 13b? If the later, did you have any difficulty mounting them, etc? I assume its all interchangeable (or at least close), but I haven't tried it out yet.

ps and ac are from 13b,...the ps and a/c bracket had to be slightly modified (just drill a hole) to fit ,.. but other than that ,..fits like a glove
the t-body i did have to tinker with a bit ,.. i welded the iac valve port (not gonna be using that) this way i also have nice clearance for my coils , i also removed that extra t-body butterfly ,shortened my throttle cable , and rigged the t-body elbow , as it at an angle that will not allow my hood to close , ...i still need to get a pic of those

Cool! Are you using a complete 13brew pully kit?

With the throttle body, was your only issue the clearance with the coils? Also, what are you using in place of the iac?

i hate the iac valve , if you fiddle around with youre ecu (my case microtech) you wont need a iac valve , i did this with haltech ...microtech i should be able to do it also .
and yes i am using the complete 13brew pulley set ,
the t-body was a pickle cause for it to work i had to allso change my throttle cable and mod my intake elbow ....i guess i am staying true to the 20b theme
still need to polish the elbo though

these are some more recent pics
in this one you can see the engine bay as it is so far
look closely and you can see how close the turbine is to the intake , it looks closer than what it really is , i think i can fix this with a well made heatshield
and yes everything is still a bit of a mess but it will look good later , i am just concentrating now for everything to work
