Newtypex · 09-22-2011, 08:30 AM

My powersteering is back in the right corner. Next to the clutch master. I'm gonna mount my catch can in the stock resi location. I rebuilt my engine before I put it in last and it produced absolutely no blow by from the cam covers on all the dyno tuning. Haven't been motivated to mount it.

What does your car look like ? How long ago was it at UP ?

Was mine there while yours was ? (red kouki with the gay ass gold valve cover)

cured13 · 09-22-2011, 06:45 PM

wow, it looks fantastic, definitely my favorite bay,
very nice

but

did you ever measure how much hotter the air is at the throttle comparing to OEM sidemount?

Not really but i can remember from when i first got the car the the intercooler piping would be hot on the intake side and now with the air to water after driving the car for hours i can pop the hood and touch it and keep my hand on it and its not hot at all and the turbo side be so hot you cant touch it.

Q#1 - the smoothing of the engine bay... did you just use a body filer or did you plate weld??

more later...

Newtypex · 09-23-2011, 08:02 AM

Mine is all welded up. All the holes are welded and grinded smooth. Heat was applied then use of a hammer and dolly to smooth out the fenders and strut towers. Lots of work.

Newtypex · 09-23-2011, 08:02 AM

Oh and a little bit of filler to smooth everything 100%

MadScientist · 09-23-2011, 08:33 AM

^^ thank you...

Cured13 removed the trim line on the fire wall... this has a little bit of structural strength... wondering what the effects are w/o.

Newtypex · 09-23-2011, 08:46 AM

Yea those are crush points for when you get in a wreck. Note that I'm not the guy with the white bay. I'm the guy with the smoother rb26. His engine bay is still lumpy. Just doesn't look right to me. The fact that those crush points on the firewall are gone makes me think he just filled it with filler which is bad. Those crush points are to deep to fill. You don't want more then an 1/8th inch of body filler.

Tidashoni · 09-23-2011, 08:47 AM

heres what my bay currently looks like

it's still being pieced together

Newtypex · 09-23-2011, 09:11 AM

??? if you are talking to me I didn't, its removable lol

last pic i have of the bay while i was still working on it

you can see its bolted in, in this pic

unlike civic and tegs where they are solid

makes it really easy to install and remove the RB
