s*** yo. Crazy build im having overload in what parts im gonna need to complete my build and install. Where did you get that little oil gauge by the prv? and do i have to buy 400$ in oil fittings inorder to run the external oil pump and prv or is there another way? how much did you pay for that clutch? just got my engine mounts ina couple days ago im gonna go get an oil filter relocation kit soon with block adapter.

It's just a standard autometer underhood gauge I got from Mopac. The fittings are expensive, there's no way around that.

i didnt install mine, the pickup was already super close to the bottom of the pan, with the spacer it would have hit.
Not sure why they include it

MP3racer posted a schematic of how you can hook up the system, there's not much of going another route rather than installing filter where it suits you better.

The clutch is awesome now that it's broken in. Actually VERY streetable believe it or not. I'm extremely happy with it. DO NOT use the pickup spacer with the AWR pan.

Guys been awhile since an update. Car now has 3,000Km on the new engine, a few upgrades have been made. I'm currently running (a modest) 15psi, and this thing ***** right off. With al lthe upgrades done, 15psi feels like 22 did on the last build. I think it's mostly the head work and the cams. I've changed plugs once, and I'm now running Mobil1 15W-50 Synthetic now that the break-in is complete.
So, since the build was completed, I installed a new deck (unremarkable) re-did the fuel system (again) and completed the PCV system with the help of a second vented catch can thanks to forum member Signature Sound.
Here are a few pics of the various upgrades since the build.
Removed the intake side PCV nipple, and drilled and tapped for a -6AN fitting.
Drilled out the interior baffles as big as I could go for maximum flow:
A shot of the installed can with black fittings and line:
Although the stock 1:1 rising rate FPR is great, I broke mine trying to convert it to an AN fitting setup. Decided to say **** it and go with an Aeromotive rising rate adjustable regulator. Mounted it to the firewall, and installed a pressure gauge. I realize that this gauge is a bit redundant (I have a liquid filled one right on the rail as well) but whatever. Ran -6 lines with all black fittings. The red accents on the line are a nice touch. The adapter for the perrin fuel rail was actually a spare oil feed fitting for a T4 style turbo that I had lying around. Bolted up perfectly, and the gasket worked like a charm.
Excuse the iPhone pics, but here is a shot of what I hope is the finished engine bay. 8 years in the making, and I think I can finally say that I'm happy with it:

Awesome, hey if you dont mind. I had a question about the fuel rail, do you happen to know what size the ports are? Ive heard 1/2NPT and 3/8NPT, just want to make sure before I start buying fittings. Thanks!

3/8. You can tell just by looking. (Or at least I can, maybe I've done too many fittings lately!)
