Small update... working on the block some more.

Decided to delete the pimary injectors and go with only one secondary rail running 4 injectors. Reasoning: Simple, less failure points with less hoses and fittings, idle not a priority... because race car.

FULL FUNCTION ENGINEERING (FFE) Secondary rail with ID2000's and ID1000's. Love the quality of the rail. TOP NOTCH! Full Function Engineering | FFE Store Pretty much plug and play, they also supplied custom O-ringed adapters to snuggly fit in the Xcessive LIM for a perfect seal.

Shot of the ceramic coated LIM... notice the spacers and washers that will hold a custom heat shield later.

Found a nice little K&N filter for the oil injectors... next I'm finishing up a custom mount for the FPR then mounting the turbo and lines.

And threw on the UIM/TB for a sec just to see how the color combo looks. I love it!

so why are you bothering with the MOP? why not just premix it.

Actually I also premix... I don't see a reason not to have the added benefit of the OMP since the Haltech can control it, I change oil before every race day and it also lubricates under decel as well unlike fuel injectors. So can't hurt. I also run the older oil injector with bigger orifice which has been more reliable in my experience.

Small update... mounted my FPR and I should have the rest of the block buttoned up by end of the week. Just need to install my oil pan, Garfinkle oil pan brace and my new Full Function Engineering motor mounts. Then turbo, custom engine harness and all fuel and cooling lines. That should be it for the motor!

FPR custom mount I made and powder coated... nicely tucked, perfect access for adjustment, vacuum line, rail feed and return.

Freshen up the turbo manifold, snail and downpipe with some Cerakote ceramic. I will also be using custom shielding to combat heat as well.

Thanks! My meticulousness definitely requires a lot of patience so it drives me nuts sometimes!

I'll planning on having multiple front, back and cockpit Gopro's hard wired for power, so I should have some nice long vids for sure.

Pulled the trigger on a new Exedy twin disk. Couldn't pass up a killer price through a friend/client who works directly with Exedy USA.

Brake booster line getting the AN treatment too... the stock plastic inline check valve was a bit too wide so I had a custom one made with correct 0.375" diameter which I'll assemble soon. I ordered extra if anyone wants one PM me. (I'll post pics of valve later). You can also see the new clutch line I had made in this pic.

Also waiting for my friend to finish my custom made oil filler neck, rear iron adapter with -6AN and few other pieces to powdercoat. Also had my steering rack converted to manual by Chips Motorsports which will arrive early next week. Will take pics when arrives...
