I bought a EJ20K intake which (in theory) will let me run the turbo inlet under the intake runners when I put the EJ25D Heads on my SS.

it will but you'll need a different p/s pump or maybe just the remote reservoir.

Well it's good to hear another confirmation that this thing will fit. I'll deal with the PS when that time comes, but I'll probably just move it to the other side if need be.

If you can find a small access door from a marine supply place, you could cut a hole in the plate and cover it with the door. Or you could just leave it open like I did on the Mazda.

It has an opening for the bolt, but one problem I had was that the socket that I had on the bolt, and it was a short socket, bumps up against the skid plate. I had to slightly re-tighten the bolt to take the socket off, then take the bolt out by hand.

I bolted my 20k intake mani to the ej25D heads and compared them to the stocker.

Comparison with a 2.5" pipe under the mani.

I didn't take pics, but I also bolted the 25d IAC and TB on. I had to flip the TB 180 degrees, but I think it'll work easy enough, I already started modifying a factory throttle bracket to Fit, but I didn't want to go pull a Throttle cable out of a car to fit it all up.

I hope to put together the mock up motor this weekend maybe start figuring some stuff out. Then I need to decide on which turbo to use: TD04, Or a BorgWarner Off a Diesel...hmm

Finally got layed off so gave Angel some much needed lovin. Oil change to Castrol Full synthetic 10w30, Transmition flush and new fluid. Drained both diffs and filled with Synthetic GL40.

Not sure which it was or if it was a combination of the above but it definatly put some pep in her step!

Also updated my ICE. (wtf does that mean anyways?) pics to come.

Just keep in mind you have to clear the fuel lines. That's the real fitment issue there.

Installed my Walboro 255 fuel pump...

Hardest part was getting the old one out. Straight in installation and I like the wiring harness that comes with the Walboro better than I do the stock one.
