It's been awhile since I bought these gauges and now that I have them in it feels and looks pretty awesome. =)

Autometer Electronic Air/Fuel Wideband

AutoMeter Electronic Boost Gauge

Autometer Electronic Oil Pressure Gauge

And to Complete the set, here's a picture of all of them together. Tell me what you think!

I just did a quick turn of the key shot that's why the gauges aren't showing up accurate numbers. Just incase for those who are question the pictures.

While I was doing the gauges I decided it was time to do the piggyback!

Split Second Fuel Timing Controller (Version # 3)

I didn't want anything to think i was messing with the ecu so I decided to hide the piggyback under the cup holder. Honestly the best place to put any piggy back. The FTC is way bigger than the version 2. It was like it was meant to be there.

Saving the best for last!

New pics of the engine bay!

Custom work done by Signature sound! Ported internals for more flow under the Valve Cover. The VC was specially coated chrome for the bling factor. (tell me what you think!) Fitting were added to the VC for purpose that will later be seen. I decided to go with 10-AN. Go big or go home!

Had to give the VC more love with the Dress Up Kit! The candy apple red just pops out!

And pic of how they look on the fender.

Signature Sound Catch cans! I gotta say these are worth every penny! Quality stuff!

PCV Catch Can!

Coolant Overflow Catch Can! Gotta love how the green just glows right at you. Its a must see in person.

I still have the Oil Catch Can to install so stay tune for that later!

now a pic of the whole bay!

And here are the last pictures to sum everything up for what I've done lately for the engine bay.
The project is still incomplete, but I hope you guys enjoy what you're seeing. I enjoy every bit of work I put into it, but there's still lots of work to be done. I really do miss driving her. I'm really anxious to see what kind of a climax she puts down. Some times it just gets a little tough with the little time I have to work on her. Life is happening, but I know with patience It'll all be done.

I know some people don't build threads that just post up bunch of pics, but I feel pictures speak for themselves!

Hell yea!

 

[J_Naoto]

looks great!!

 

[funkalicious21]

youre going to run a doc b pump with the peterson prv, correct?

Yeah, I plan on using the prv for my other motor that I'm currently building but currently I'm not running a doc b yet. Do you think it'll be a problem if I don't run a doc b system right away? The Peterson prv is not something I'm too familiar with.

Yeah, right now my stance super sunk. So I'm able to go a lot lower in the rear. So it'll definitely sit a lot lower in the near future.

Hell yea!

looks great!!

Thanks guys! I'm always open to more suggestions on what you think I should improve or event on relocating certain things. I'm really going a super clean engine bay. And also what else do you think I need to complete my build. Throw down your opinions and lets hear them! Thanks!

yea, that PRV isnt going to work too good without the doc b pump. They eliminate the factory PRV in the oil pump when they do there machining and coating, which is why you need the external PRV to begin with. 2 pressure regulators doesnt sound like a good idea

 

[rar40941]

U should stick ur 11 wides on there

 

[Dpwhitehead1]

[SCMP3]

Would it be alright if i just ran the relocation kit without the peterson prv for now until i get the DOC B setup? Thanks for letting me know, really appreciate it.

Im guessing it might be the left one huh? I know the right arm is correct because it goes around the exhaust. But either way i don't see it matter because it's still a bar even i flip it around. still serves it purpose.

Passenger one is needs to be switched no wonder it looked a little different! Lol Car looks amazing!

 

[bikingpro5]
