Figured I would keep everyone updated on here as well

The car is flawless, it came in on a Chariot.

Old engine out in 1 hour

Fast forward, week ahead

Well what could this be ?

After unwrapping a few things, there is a sign, not the normal vtec sign, but a weird looking blair witch logo, with vitec.

So we unwrapped some more, part came flying out like a big easter egg

Then finally

Custom throttle bracket

All wiring that needed to be switched was switch, used all obd1 plugs for the oem look

Nice car. Really.

It would be great as a finishing touch to replace most of the visible bolts with new stainless ones. That, or paint the current ones.

 

[bmaca455]

Nice!!! 8) On another note though, I've never seen an intake with a split there... is that normal or did you do have to do that to get it to fit?

Just paint the bolts. Using stainless steel anywhere on your car makes the rest of your car rust faster. It's called Galvanic Corrosion. Stainless Steel acts as a cathode, and the normal steel and aluminum will act as an anode. Usually the first place to rust out will be the contact point between the two metals. Bye bye bolt hole threads.
