I just received my RA adaptor very quick shipping

 

installed all of my OMP system need to figure a way to connect the OMP to the throttlebody again for now it will be fixed slightly open while I continue to premix

 

Why did you go for the aluminum pan? Why didn't you switch from oil pan bolts to oil pan studs?

 

I choose it for a few reasons its baffled on top and aroung the pickup, oringed to help seal, the bolting flange is 3/8 thick doubles as a engine brace, has two drain plugs to get all the oil out, the bottom is slotted for better cooling, it holds another quart, and to be honest looks alot prettier then my stock be up pan. Whats the benifiet of the studs aside from looks? I was provided all new hardware with oil pan. I could spend money elsewhere.
Heres the RA adaptor and lines I tried to clean out best I could.

 

Studs aren't for looks at all. Specifically with aluminum a stud is far superior to a bolt for fastening. They are far less prone to pulling the threads out of the rotor housings...


Did that RX-8 front cover gasket require any modification to use?

 

I did not have to modify anything to use the RX8 front gasket, although I also used the o-ring and its nylon ring as well

Studs are not nec superior or less prone to pulling (having dealt with pulled studs a fair amount in Porsches) but they are sometimes more preferable into an aluminum casting where the part may need to be taken apart or serviced often, as repeatedly threading and unthreading a bolt into aluminum will wear the threads themselves and of course increases the risk of cross threading a bolt into the housing.

 

I did put a little hylomar on the surfaces that the front cover and the waterpump housing seals on I also used the oring, hylomar'd down.

 

i may get me that RA adapter as well.but i gotta get the omp injectors and lines again
can i use the s4 omp on s5 tb?

 

if u get the arm on the s4 tb that adjusts the omp linkage it should work

 

where u get lines?

 

I have lines and injectors and the omp rod from tb-omp

 

I bought mine from my dealership for my employee price

 

how much?

 

mocked up my fuel system and relocated my fpr its all gotta come off again but its coming along and fits perfectly, I didnt have to cut my old lines

 

got some sexy guages

 

Ordered the last few little things
a pre made -10 return line 10 inches long, it was cheaper and beats the hell out of making my own.
12x1.5 to -4 male fitting for the feed line out of the motor
-4 90degree hose end, vosko gave me a feed line, but its way to long. Im gonna cut it in half and put this hose end on the perfect lenght
a 4 bolt exhuast flange and gasket for my downpipe.
still have to send out my injectors, find a place to clean my oil cooler, pick up some studs and nuts for the turbo, vac nipples, and a oil pressure sensor adaptor from johnathon at goopy that allows me to use my aftermarket guage in the stock location.
then comes the big list. wastegate, clutch, and trans)

 

got my -10 turbo return flanges on there. waiting on more parts to arrive

 

My got my 10 inch -10 return line for ATP and feed line fitting installed fit perfect just waiting on a few mote little things

 

here a pic of my drain line

 

It looks like it's turning out well! Good job.

thanks for the compliment it means alot

 

well made myself an adaptor for my electronic oil pressure sensor, using the stock sensor I cut it in half and drilled and tapped it for my prosport gauge and it turned out great just hope no leaks.
