While the SB pump bracket is better than no pump bracket, they could have put a little more into the design. As-is, there I had clearance issues with the pump inlet (or was it the outlet?) and the undertray will not fit after installed. To fix the clearance issues, i cut the pump rubber mounts to get it lower. Did not think about spacers between the bracket and the car Oh well, it works (but forget the undertray). Hopefully they will come out with a better design
As for the controller, i mounted mine on the passenger trans tunnel using the hook side of some velcro tape

Thanks Tom. Are you still pleased with the system?
I am excited to get things moving!

Yes, both the SB tank and the AEM AI. I was using the windshield washer tank, but it would run dry during a session. Not good. The SB tank lasts a good 3 sessions. I have not yet logged AITs to know how well the AEM system works, but it does go through some fluid so i assume it's doing what it's designed to.

Got bored so I painted the windshield cowl, replaced some screw covers, ran speaker wires for the amps, and mounted the rear speakers.

Yes, but no biggie. Kick trim piece, rubber surround, One screw, 3 plastic fasteners, then I put gloves on and stuck my hand behind for popping all the metal fastens (around 7 of them). I can add a pic of inside of you want so you can see where all the fasteners are.

Got a Koyo Nflo and some new mishimoto hoses yesterday. Getting ready to drop some cash on the "sp" new twins and will be going with a new crated motor and harness.
Unless I can find someone in Ft. Lauderdale or Miami really quick Kilo racing will take on the swap. I will get a base map from Ari for the PFC to run the the Bosch 2200s and hopefully be g2g. After break in I will drive it back to Orlando for a tune final tune.
I will probably try and rebuild the old motor and turbos.

I am looking for 325-350 to the wheels. I may push her a bit more, but I am trying to stay somewhat conservative. I think it will be plenty fast. I will keep posting as I progress. Really there is no other mods except I will be doing a vented hood and probably ducting. I have to control the heat down here in south fl. I will be swapping to the 4.44 gear which with my wheel/tire diameter should put me back around the stock 4.10.

well, I don't think there is a true "sp" version out right now..... not from Hitachi anyway. These are the few mm bigger giving the "12%" more flow. Should be a decent upgrade from the regular 99 spec..... and yes you can ckearlybsee the 3KAI

The break on the apex is kind of odd. I am not there to see it in person and by no means am a pro or even a novice, but I see or saw no signs of detonation, but I am pretty damn sure that's what I heard and what happened.
I bought the car with supposedly 3500 miles on the Pettit rebuild and put about 2k miles on it. I only bought the car because it was had a 3500 mile Pettit rebuild on it lol. We live and learn I guess. Again, I am not a pro, but that is one ratty *** looking 5k rebuilt motor.....
edit..... the apex seal shown was mostly intact. I was told it was cracked, but still attached and the corner chipped off causing the other chaos. Those are supposed to be Mazda factory seals.
