Motor goes in tomorrow with a bunch of small, hidden tweaks done before hand. Consider this a final assembly though.

Yes, we're going to likely do a 1.75" round bar capturing the base of the radiator. From there we're doing a skidplate, underbody ducting, front fascia adjustable air diverters to balance airflow with some R&D testing, and I'm still figuring out the ideal locations for the dual FB/FC Oil cooler configuration in Parallel.
The scary thing is my fuel setup, which is SO far out of the realm of the standard automotive world. Packaging is everything.
The turbo inlet setup and coolant pipes are badass. Those will come once the supplies come in. VERY excited during that order. As with the 1pc CF DriveshaftShop driveshaft.

Just wanted to show y'all what I'll be doing over the next 6 months.
1) Haltech Elite 2500 ECU
2) Bussman 31000 Distribution Center with Circuit Breakers and Relays (no fuses anywhere on the car!) for the Chassis Harness
3) Oversized Audiophile Grade Charge Harness and Amplifier Wiring
4) BlueSea HUGE Circuit Breakers for the larger engine bay circuits and fuel pumps
2nd Oil Cooler would be either in front of radiator or in front of intercooler hanging down (again facing vertically). Oil Coolers are run in Parallel.
Cheers and Merry Christmas,
Gizmo

I'll do the best I can. It won't be easy... Alarm Harness should be integrated as well.
Interior Additions:
SPAL Power Window Conversion
Swiss Power Door Lock Conversion
Toyota Celica Center Console Mounted Power Window Switch w/ Integrated Door Lock Switch
AFR500v2 Gauge located in either center console clock or grafted into the factory gauge cluster.

Thank you! It's coming together quickly now! By the end of the week, I want to strip the interior down and start rolling in the sound/heat insulation paint everywhere. Time for Tomb-Like silence!

There's a darn Ferd in the way of my progress, but it should be off the lift by the end of the week so we can start back on fabrication. In the meantime, here's an update for you guys. I know a LOT of people keep asking me about this on Facebook, IG, etc, so I figured I'd just show you my configuration in true form. This reminds me... I have like zero social media standing. Subscribe, Follow, Like, Share, etc. Any help is appreciated here. I can't develop more parts for the Rx7 / 13B without a customer base that knows about me, so help me to help you. I promise, MAGIC is coming soon.

Without further ado, Sn0Bx7's Hood Vent Configuration:
I contacted these guys back in mid-2015 and requested a custom Gurney flap. As you can see, the width and height at perfect for my application, and it really doesn't "take away" anything from the appearance of the car. Excellent quality, and if any of my other cars ever need something like this, they'll have my business again.
Ugh, now if I could only source a company willing to make a Kamei Front Lip out of Urethane and Integrate a Splitter on it for me... If I can do it for $400, I will.

Well, damn, that's a fuel system.
Just saved about $2k on lines and fittings and somehow magically matched the vehicle's color scheme of Copper and Blue. Shhhh, for those of you in the know, keep this one a secret!

The Forecast says "It's going to be Wet."
I'd have to agree...
#Sn0Bx7 Fuel Lines, Turbo Oil Feed, and Turbo Water Inlet/Outlet

It's Okay Guys, I Get It, I'm My Own Fan Club
Notice the fitment of AC Condenser, Griffin Radiator, and 16" HO SPAL Fan on Lower V-Mount Sub-Assembly
Oil Coolers Mounted on the other side. Thankfully that fan does incredibly well with high static pressure. SPAL FTW!
