Been busy lately in the garage. Here is some progress:
The hose form the air regulator to the intake manifold was cracked so I needed to find a replacement. Went to autozone and found Dayco part number 87725 was a decent enough fit. The inside diameter is a little larger and you have to bend the hose a little in the opposite direction but it should do the job.
Here is a picture of how I simplified and routed the coolant lines.
For all the people making brackets for their upgraded alternators, this may work for you. I'm running a Maxima Alternator on my car and had a spare OEM CA18DET power steering pump tensioner bracket laying around that actually worked great. I did have to use a smaller belt (Autozone part number 335K4), but it will work fine and do great.
Here is the Circuit Sport Pivot Ball vs. the OEM pivot ball, just for comparison.
I'm really at the end of this thing now. Just going to replace the rear main seal this week sometime and I have to wait for an OEM throw out and pilot bearing and I'm good to go. Hoping to have it in the car by the end of the month.
