NICE and clean!

Very clean but that valve cover hurts my eyes. Paint the valve cover black and sand the top letters and misc. or polish the valve cover. That would make it look much better. Thats just a suggestion. Also where is your coolant overflow bottle?

Wow day-glo green, stuck in my 80's my friend?

[amolao]

He is not using a coolant reservoir, is not connected....you can see in the pic where the reservoir hose coming from the radiator is missing...

[MECPInstaller]

It's not easy being green.

Anyway, nice looking (albeit very green engine bay). What sort of crank pulley do you have there?

Also, is the oil dipstick really green too, or is that just the way the photo looks?

[SMoKeM240]

i dont have a coolent overflow cause its busted, so im trying to hunt one down, i have the plug wires, haven't put those on yet. yes the dipstick is green too. hate it all u want, but i bet its faster than a stock sr and i can still turbo it if i want.

[SMoKeM240]

oh the blue pulley is a unorthodox... all my mods are listed on my website

Not hating on the green valve cover...just never saw one. In the end, who cares what color it is if it's fast.

How do you like the UR pulley? Any issues with leaking from the front main seal? How long have you had it installed?

BTW, there's a thread around here somewhere about replacing the coolant overflow. Someone here used an early 90's Miata overflow and it seemed to fit well.

Nice mods. Alot of engine work. At 9.8CR I wouldn't turbo it. A factory service manual should clear up all you vaccum line problems. Individual TB would be awsome on your setup.

Thats a clean mofo, makes me jealous, I thought mine was clean. Nice paintjob on the valve cover, although not a fan of neon green...Love how the polished headers look in your engine bay....very nice...

Nice engine, a lot of nice mods.

Needs a windshield banner that reads "Powered by Ninja Turtles" (joke, not hating)

[SMoKeM240]

Nobody's hating on the color, you've got the go to back it up. Hell, if/when I do an RB25 i might paint it hot pink with purple polka-dots.
