it's lookin pretty bad c-rad. Yep, that rhymed. Looks like you're making some good progress and can't wait til you get it started up. Just out of curiosity..where is your bov? Maybe I'm blind, but I can't see it or any flange for one.

It isn't on there yet. If you look on the cold pipe, there is a freeze plug in the location for the "factory" bov for the S14/15 SR. I am going to weld the flange on there, but I want to make sure I have clearance with everything first. 7psi and no BOV won't kill me for a few days.

Actually, I traded with someone off Zilvia. He bought the S14/15 kit by accident for his S13 SR. So we just traded the cold side of the intercooler.
