Doing a little mock assembly I've figured out a few things. One is that the rear inner stud on the T25 is going to need to be shorted a little bit. I bought flying miata inconel studs, so that should be interesting.



Secondly is that the water fittings need to be re-arranged so that the in is on bottom and the out is on top. This helps with cooling.



Here's a little mockup.



One of the last few pieces, a Taarks oil filter relocation block.



And I bought S14 lower control arms, which are a tad bit longer in the tension rod section, so I think I'm just going to redrill my tension rod brackets and run them.

I went with the Stage8 locking hardware for the turbo, was a bit tricky on one stud but no interference.

Good info about the cooling lines. Never though it out before. Possible FullRace clocked it for SR setup since I purchased the full kit from them.

Yeah I have the Stage 8 as well.

Here's a good article with some data on why thermal siphoning is important.
