Wow, your engine bay looks great man. I really like that manifold. Did you buy that from another member on here or did you make it yourself?

Thanks bro. I made it myself. All the fab work was done by me. I have lots of crower products so i gotta rep! The pipe looks too plain without anything there.

You wanna make one for me? Haha, do you have your mods posted somewhere? It looks like you have a huge intake inlet on that turbo, what size is it?

You could have repped Crower in a more subtle way.

Lol, that looks like a huge bumper sticker. emoji

Everything looks great though.

Rock on with your bad self. Did you convert to the 95 skirts or step up to the 97 front fascia? Nice choice on the wheels as well. Everyone and his brother is running around with black w/ polished lip. Kinda makes me glad I'm back to stockers. At least I'm not a biter, right?

Car looks hawt. I think the big Crower decal works well with the color scheme of your engine bay and lends itself well to the almost military vibe you've got going on under the hood.

Wow that's the engine bay is tidy, that's actually the cleanest setup I've seen. Where is everything? The computer, the battery, the wires...

Very nice. Manifold looks really nice too.

I too would love to know where your ecu and fuse box and nearly everything else are. I want my engine bay to be that clean. Any tips on how and where to move stuff too?

I'm pretty sure he talked about how/where he hid his wires/computer/fusebox in his last post.

He did inspire to paint my t-stat housing with METALCAST paint!

Thanks everyone! The car was originally a 97 and i added the 96 skirts. The wheels are volk gtn's. I am still waiting on Antireversion to contact me about my intake manifold and then the tuning will begin. The turbo is a turbonetics t60, bb center section and its a 4" inlet. I love my crower bumper sticker! The wiring harness tuck was hell and i think i was the first to do one on a 2gnt, One of these days i will compose a write up. I'll post some more pics up tonight if i get a chance!Whenever i free some money up I am gonna add some ss lines and an aluminum radiator.

Looks good man. So no A/C or PS? You must live somewhere that doesn't get terribly humid during summer months. I don't know if I could live w/o the A/C. Kudos on the ecu relocation, I can imagine that it was a total whore.

That engine harness tuck is unbelievable.

You would think you would run into heat issues with your turbo rubbing on your starter wires and no fan.

Yo man, 'member me? Haven't bee on GhaySpace since forever, and I plan on keeping it that way! Looks awesome, first thing I said t myself: Where the hell is all the engine clutter?!

Also, that skirt cap on the passenger side looks like it came off ofan eclipse, and the rest of i is off a talon, seems to be too "thick". Another thing, did you nite shade half of the side markers or whats up with that? there seems to be a little wave in the bumper under the headlights, sorry to be a picky asshole like that, but just want to make sure you are aware of it, rock on bro

My pass fender cap is off an eclipse. The fender cap was missing when i got the set and i thought that the 95-96 eclipse cap was the same as the 95-96 talon cap. My bumper got removed alot during the last couple months and i havent had a chance to adjust it, I threw it on there so i wouldnt get pulled over. When i drove the car without a front bumper I had ziptied the bumper lights up but they still hit my tire, I have some smoked bumper lights on the way. I appreciate the spotlight tho! lol

Dude, your Talon is fucking sweet bro. engine and rims color/style.

I'm planning to get gold rims for my white 97 eclipse, different style but gold.

I envy your engine bay work, thats Clean JDM all the way.

How the heck did you get those cam gears like that. I've talked to many dealers and they say adjustables are not for 420a's.

Cool, you have myspace

Could you add me to your friends list, talk about and help with my Eclipse.

Here's my url http://www.myspace.com/dweberdsmtuner

I have it set private, for my family and friends. Just send me and email through myspace. or add list.

My white Eclipse is on there, and don't worry bud. I am for real and not a two-face back stabber.

My Gram's lives in Clearwater, Florida maybe when go down visit her wann do a small meet ?

What size rims/tires are those, because mine needs replaced soon.

Do you recommend a special type of suspension and brakes for that type?

Keep it up!

DUDE! that looks insane! I am impressed, and thats not easy.

I have 2 questions. What fans are you running? Can this fanset work with the A/C condenser still in place?

I getting ready to install my motor but I want to keep my AC. Before anyone tells me to toss the A/C, Im keeping it. I have to sit in rush hour traffic everyday for atleast an hour. Im not playing that game with out all summer long with no A/C.

I have total seal rings... which i regret buying. Total seal specifies disabling the pcv system. Once again.... I just got the car running and i didnt have time to decide on my catch can setup. Once i throw some cash down or build one I'll post pics. My fans are a pusher setup mounted in front of the radiator.

I have Total seal rings as well, but i have ran with the pcv and without it. It seems to be better with the pcv. When i run without the pcv my oil fouls alot faster. Just a little advice from personal experience.

2 sets of injectors is better than 1 =)

Mad props.

Very nice engine bay, i like the tuck job. Keep up the great job and the car looks good also. I also run pusher style fans and i have a fluidyne radiator, but my manifold is no where near as good as yours, but i am sure you can mod something up to get the radiator in. My turbo sits close also, but have not had any issues with starter or radiator. Here is a pic i posted in the turbo section of how close mine is.

I really like your car taclipse, I haven't seen one that clean in quite some time. Thanks for the pics.

I left out the negative comments because you didn't want them.

j/k bro emoji

edit: I can tell you like the mild look, but you should modify your front bumper to take advantage of all that intercooler, that thing is massive!

Thank you people. Xmasta shoot me a PM on tamparacing. I have been really busy with work and my other projects and have been neglecting the bird! I might take it out to ccc or gis this weekend if i find me an interior shifter bushing in time. It seems that the dude i was depending on to build my intake manifold flopped on me so i might be learning how to weld aluminum and purchase a tig welder pretty soon!

Hey taclipse, what are you using for a coolant resevoir? I can't see where the hose off the thermostat housing is running to.
