I moved the line all the way to the body as possible and welded the fitting on then ran AN6 PTFE to the pump routing the line as needed as I have twin wastegates low mounted on my setup so Im with you on space.

Haven't updated in some time, as I lost interest in posting.

 

I mostly have the build completed and have been held up with the chroming of the rocker cover. Apparently it will be completed and shipped tomorrow. I've heard that before, so fingers crossed that it's true. Once it get's back, the hosing for the catch can will be completed and hopefully, first start up.

 

 

In the meantime, I have been chipping away at the some of the cosmetic items.

 

 

I had made a new air box for the car and started shaping the side wall to fit around the piping. I quickly realised that there wouldn't be much left and it quickly turned into two separate pieces. The chassis rail was drilled end riv-nuts installed. I the went to fit the lid and quickly realised that it wouldn't sit flush, as the filter sat too high. Not happy!!!

 

 

I spent hours trying to find a work around. I looked at slotting and cutting around the filter,but they all looked like poo...

 

 

So I came up with this.. Still in the prep stage of polishing......

As previously mentioned, we changed where the location rocker cover breathers. The standard locations have been blocked off. Due to this we have also modified the Nizpro garnish.

Given the new location of the dump pipe, heat damage to hosing, and lines are a major concern. To address this, I have made a heat shield to cover the dump and fitted it up today. Please note that this is still in a raw finish and it will be cleaned , and new, nicer fasteners sought.

Looking good.

The attention to detail in this build is remarkable and you dont mind thinking ( out of the square ) and bringing it to life.

Wont be to long now by the looks and it will be done and running and you get to enjoy driving it.

Thank you for your kind words JVK. Unfortunately, I am not a rich man, but, I'm trying the best that I can, to ensure a quality finish throughout the project.

Got a call today and the rocker cover chroming will be completed this week. :D So, not long now. :3gears:

Lots of us are not rich and money cannot buy dedication and perseverance.

Richer than some of us on here :( lol I could only dream of having half the goodies you've put into the car ;)

Can't wait to see the finished product and bet you can't wait even more :P

Final install of the intake today. I rerouted a few hoses and installed the new main hose for the header tank. The catch can has also been connected to the intake. It looks a lot neater now. I need to source a few hose separators and a clamp cover for the header hose. Besides that, it's all good.

 

As promised, here is a pic of the intake and shield in place. Unfortunately, I didn't have a clean soft cloth the clean all of the hand mark off the intake pipe, so be gentle.
