Banzai Racing 91 Vert 13b-re project

This is one of our shop cars that we work on when we get a chance. Needless to say it has taken a long time (3 years or so) to be to the point where we can start breaking in the engine. We bought it as a bone stock 91 white with black leather, with the intention of doing a slightly modified TII conversion to it, well that plan went out the window...

It is now an aggressive streetport 13b-RE with a T4 GT35R..

The entire project from start until current can be viewed here:

Here are a few pics



Engine bay:






A few exterior shots:






And we decided to give the interior a make over black leather with red stitching:

Wow. That's looking really good. I especially like the engine, really clean with all the silver.

Are those just recovered stock vert seats? They look modified.

Umm, what happened to the coil packs and wires, guys? May I please get a better shot of that area if it's not too much of a problem? Also, when are your FC block off plate kits gonna be finished? I've been waiting on them for a while now.

The coils have been replaced wil ones from an FD so they are under the UIM.

The FC BOP kits have been done for a month we just have not had time to take pictures of them and load pages on our website.

Stock FC OEM main pulley.

To answer your other question as well, they are not fuel lines going to the manifold. Instead of using silicone hose and zipties, which have a tendency to blow off under high boost, we tapped every port and used -4an fittings with stainless line for all the vacuum lines.
