Is that the fuel pressure gauge mounted in the firewall? And how thick is the adapter plate? I'm making a 3/4" plate and might have similar issues with the firewall (albeit it a completely different engine)

I wasn't sure what to think when I seen you putting the 1.6 in it but I approve.

Cool build!

Also, 3076 at 18psi is gonna make more power and torque than 10 of the builds I've seen happening on the front page of the drift section.

I actually got to drive this thing and it was amazing all weekend. I have some small details I want to fix but no complaints with how it drove. Best part is it actually runs and drives and didn't require a super tuner to figure it out, just an hour on an abandoned highway got it done.

very interesting swap.

very nice and clean work though, and i guess the drifters like the WTF factor.

also, i was ALMOST an english teacher, changed out to a Lit major / writing minor my last semester. i ended up getting a few different automotive corporate jobs now. STAY STRONG BROTHER
