Sounds good mate, but the link to the pics don;t work

[rockabilly]

[murrayis]

Nice work mate, very impressive

[Al]

Very nice!!

Mine is looking like the GTST version of yours

rb30det (25 head)

GT30R

ETM manifold (same as yours)

Greddy plenum.

Red engine bay

Teins with EDFC

Oil cooler

etc.......

When i saw your engine bay and the Tein EDFC i had a laugh; looks so similar to mine

Will post pics of mine, once the engine is back together and the car is back on the road.

QUESTION: Where is your power steering reservoir?

I bought a GTR one for my car, as they sit forward of the strut tower, but i still don't think it's going to clear the turbo .

Just something i noticed:

You air pod/filter has a reducer cone, then you have a silicon hose attached to increase the size to match the intake pipe. Wouldn't you be better off to remove the pod reducer cone and fabricate another cone to match the pod diameter and the intake pipe. Just thinking you may be causing some minor restrictions with the current set-up.

Never mind, just found it

is all that stuff really purple or are my eyes playing tricks on me?

looked into the flow rates mate and that small hole in the filter itself is 3.5 inch and with the size of the filter itself should be good for 800bhp..wont make that power, but if it does i may need to look at it in the future.

as for power steering , yes you will need to move yours..sorry.bernie
