Small updates. Wiring guy is plugging away and separating the harness. He got the charging harness done. The coolant cross over pipe was bent up from 5/8 aluminum tube. My goal is for wiring to be done mid January so it can go in the body shop
My buddy made me a fan shroud which hopefully I'll pick up this weekend and can start plumbing that.

Looking good!
If you use the block vent and the valve cover vent over the alternator, you can block off the valve cover vent that you've got plumbed. That'll help with your hose routing, as that is not a good place for a hose filled with oil/fuel vapor to run. I would mount the catch can on the other side of the engine bay if you can. That turbo will glow red and even with a blanket, that side of the engine bay could see extreme heat. The catch can is full of oil/fuel vapors, which are extremely volatile. Putting a catch can within a foot of a turbine is a recipe for dissaster.
I mentioned on the facebook page, you'll want a decent length of hose with at least 1 bend in it to isolate your heater core, or it will see too much vibration and stress from the engine. The factory puts 2 bends in that hose for this reason. Heater cores do not like vibration or and pulling on the fittings.
It looks like the list is getting smaller and smaller. I'm excited to see what this setup is capable of. Great work!

Part out coming soon! J/k still waiting on wiring guy.

Lmao awesome also once I finish my current Nims project I'll have CNC access for those plastic parts

Fuel cell foam.
It's high temp and chemical resistant. This block was $18 on eBay.

Don't use a scrubber. Lol

A well designed separator won't need Brillo pad. I had 2 cracked pistons and 16psi of boost and didn't blow oil out my can. It has a good internal baffle system.

That's because you designed yours for a full-up racing Porsche!
But if you need a matrix, don't use Brillo, use the nice stainless wad pot scrubber from your local food mart.

Use fuel cell foam instead of brillo.

The brake lines where not custom i bought a kit off ebay for Aspire. I had tapped the valve cover and used -10 fittings. However i did this because i powder coated the valve cover first. I should have welded on the bungs and than powder coated. The probalem with threading is the hole going into the cover is smaller due to threads. It was hard tapping and i thought i was going to crack the valve cover. Thankfully i didnt. I think i tapped 1/2 npt. I may redo this down the road but im sure its plenty bigger than stock. I also contemplated adding steel brilllo pads to the baffles. Some of the miata guys are doing this to help the oil vapor to accumulate and drain back to the engine so less oil on catch can. Draw back is your adding metal shavings to a engine... So i decided not to at this time til i get more proof of benefit over risk.

Also do you remember off hand how you did the valve cover catch can? did you drill and tap or weld to the valve cover? are those -8AN?

So far stock metal lines but ill probably need to modify them up front at master cylinder. The flex lines where from i beloeve a ford aspire kit i got off ebay. Not sure if its still avilable but i know a guy on facebook who can replicate them if he had lines to match them to.

so the rear ones were custom made? The hardlines are pretty easy to figure out just the flex lines for the rear disks. I wonder if an escort gt kit is the same? should be.
