Worked late into the night last night. I plugged the stock oil pressure sensor hole with a galvanized plug because the sensor never worked right. Also I have a Defi Oil pressure gauge going into my RESpeed oil filter pedestal. Then we dropped the engine into the 7. More work coming tonight.........

A lot happened in the last few days. The tranny and rear end got bolted back into the car. I installed my center speaker gauge pod and my dad wired it up for me (he is an electrican after all). Most of the under the hood stuff is done. Last major thing to do is finish the fuel system.
The clearance between the GZ LIM and the DP is literally 1mm. Its a very tight fit. Below are some pics.

Sorry guys, I got it running last week but I haven't had an opportunity to post here because of work and school. Anyway, we got it running last week but I could tell there was an intake leak somewhere because of the bouncing idle. We later found out that my primary fuel rail wasn't tightened down all of the way because the bolts bottomed out - Stupid mistake 
. Then the other problem we were having was with my RESpeed oil filter pedestal. Oil would leak past the oil pressure sensor hole (rear port) and pour onto the ground at a very steady rate. We have got it down to a slow drip but still need to resolve that problem.
So last night I took the car out on my first drive. I left at around 10PM because I have NO EXHAUST. It was beastly loud. I drove the car for about 50 miles and everything looked good. Oil temps were around 180F, Water temps were around 85-90F, Oil pressure was good about 60psi, Air intake temps were about 120F (I did relocate my stock and aftermarket air temp sensors to the greddy elbow). EGT were anywhere from 1100-1400F. Also kept here under 4000rpms and no boost. Everything was good except the ringing it my ears after i got done driving it. It felt like I just got out of a rock concert, I just couldn't hear anything
.
Here are some pics:
(I still need to get a BOV that can support 29-30psi on a GT42R)

I would go with the TIAL 50mm BOV, I myself use the Greddy Type RS BOV because I got a good deal on it, but you can't go wrong with the TIAL. I am thinking about upgrading to it as well. I am running 25 lbs and the greddy vents ok. Then again, I hardly drive the car so I am not too worried about any compressor surge that I may have.
