Doh. Oh well. :P I was all excited, thought I was getting close, but all these little things are killing me. :P The brake cylinder reservoir, the TII front cover oil nipple, that oil filler secondary, s4 TII fuel rails - the plumbing bits that go to the turbo, the intercooler to throttle body piping, and there's probably some kind of support that holds up the upper intake manifold - I'll have to look at someone's TII I guess. Oh yeah, and a speedometer cable, mine has apparently taken to pumping gear oil into my dash. There was another stupid little cable like that that broke, too - I'll have to see if I can figure out what it was.
Worst case, if I end up ready to put the engine back in before I've collected all the bits I need, I can always put the NA manifolds back on it until I get the rest of the TII stuff. But oh... so close! (To a complete engine, not to finishing)
Ah well, this stuff's bound to be out there - at least the engine's mostly assembled again and I'm getting good pops when I turn it by hand. I managed to get out the oil pan bolt that broke off in the block so I can put the front stack and cover back on, then start mocking it up so I know I've got everything I need before I put it back in the car. I've got a pair new Siemens Deka 72# injectors coming in for the secondaries, and I sent my stockers to Witchhunter, so I'll take the two that flow the closest to use as primaries, and probably sell the other two for the price of the cleaning with the little sheets that show how they flowed.
Then I guess I'll snag one of those peachy keen $75 ebay intercooler piping kits and chop it up to make my turbo intake piping. Then hopefully I oughta be square until the transmission goes.

No sweat, I didn't get there until 5:30p. I would have felt bad if I'd made you wait for me, since you're giving me something for nothing. Hell, I brought the PSP, I was getting my Gran Turismo on. If I hadn't recognized the RX7 sound, I'd never have noticed you pulling up.

Boost gauges at ~$50, A Pillar pod ~$30, and high quality 720cc injectors at ~$120. Chris and Ari were nice to talk to, also, and gave me some pointers on my setup. Guess I know where my business is going when I need a hand.

Yeah, I gotta admit, I was a little nervous at first walking into Rotary Performance seeing all the pictures of the 3rd Gens on the wall and people bustling around unloading boxes of cool parts, and Chris was on the phone so I was left looking at all the cool stuff lying around. I could tell they were busy and everything, but once we got to talking about the car and what I was trying to do, Chris pulled Ari into the discussion and they both had a lot of interest and good advice.

Just as an update for anyone looking for parts - my wonderful wife found this guy on Craigslist.
http://dallas.craigslist.org/pts/285292062.html
I sent him a message about the parts I need and haven't heard back yet - but this may be a good chance to get that last wtf you need to finish your project or replace that thing you've always been meaning to replace.
Incidentally, I've got a good condition center vent for an S4 for $20 if anyone needs it. It was an awesome deal I picked up from Kevin Landers, but apparently my radio bezel is from an S5, and the vents aren't the same, so I'll pass it on to whoever needs it for what I paid for it.
Oh, and I'm having my 4 stock s4 na low impedence injectors cleaned by Witchhunter - I'm going to take the 2 that flow the closest to each other to use as my primaries and the other 2 I'll sell for the cost of the cleaning - $15 each (provided they don't come back DOA) and I'll include a copy of the report from Witchhunter that tells how they flow. I'll post the stats when they come back and make a legitimate for sale thread once I get the turbo installed and know exactly what it is I don't need anymore.
