I got mine from Polk Performance. Pretty much all my parts and work come from there. Hell the shop in the back ground is Polk Performance.



It be up a centerville, its been a while since I have raced there.

Dyno & Performance in Fort Smith has a set on the shelves, POLK does excellent work though. Do you have any numbers off of the dyno their?

Believe it or not, it was fairly hard to come by and this was the only color they had. It seems that everyone is waiting a shipment right now of them. This will help with installation of my Oil Temp and Oil Pressure gagues.





I talked Don Polk, into porting my thottle body.

It was bead blasted afterwords to give that odd texture.





Finally mounted my DEFI link controller. I kept debating about where to put and how to do it. Just decided to keep it simple and double side velcro it in place.

I have to really go through everything and clean up the wiring in the next few weeks and also decide what deck is going to go in the car.



I have two more DEFI gagues on order, if they ever show up they will go nicely with the other 3.

Pics really don't do them justice.





Tomorrow I am going to try to finish up some little things I have been putting off and the big thing, figure out why my Haltech has no spark.

Small Update:



Spent the day mounting the radiator, cleaning up some wiring (thanks Damion), putting my manfolds back on once more, and of course fixing fuel leaks.





https://www.nopistons.com/forums/gal...99_1929246.jpg



All the intercooler piping and intake manifolds have Techline thermalcoatings applied to them. Making my parts car motor really stand out of place, I really should have spray painted the bitch black when it was out in back in Feb. I am not pulling the motor out till it blows (even if I have to keep adding oil to the motor because the oil pan is leaking)



I have block of plate coming for the BAC valve also, so that will clean things up little bit. I think I am gonig to go a little more aggressive with hiding wires when I blow this motor up.



https://www.nopistons.com/forums/gal...99_1829194.jpg



You can see here my nice new Pineapple Racing alternator bracket, I am waiting for alternator spacer from Mazdatrix to finish it up.



Put water in the radiator today (planing to switch to mix after I know all the leaks are fixed) and what to you now, water pissing out of the weap hole in the water pump just by filling the system. Off to buy a water pump this weekend too. So far for the cheap and easy project.



More and more I look at my engine bay makes me sick. I will have to spend a good day cleaning up wiring and changing things around and off course the motor.
