Thank you sir.
yeah, I'm really excited but at the same time scared as s**t about boosting with it. It will be nuts. It was just easier to remove the compressor. The recharge was simple with the machine though

yeah me too what the f**k?!?!
Fortunately in cali it rains about every 5 months, if that.
Haha well if you guys look back, NONE of my other threads EVER had engine bay shots. You guys just assumed.
Here's some long awaited bay shots, without the new goodies - they're being shipped:

(without the si tower bar)
I'm kind of nervous about whether the new goodies will look good with the bay, I kind of like the blacked out look, opinions?
Also, does anyone know if there's supposed to be a bracket from the back of the head to the power steering line? I couldn't find it in the catalog at work
Looks great!..
Great work on the swap.. looks clean!
Not sure how much the y8 and b16 differ but on the y8, I have that same empty threaded hole. The bracket to hold the p/s line is actually by the IM / fuel rail.Also, does anyone know if there's supposed to be a bracket from the back of the head to the power steering line?

Swap looks MINT Ev
. You know I'm jealous.yea there's supposed to be a little bracket on the back. i bent mine a while back, which is how i remember it being thereAlso, does anyone know if there's supposed to be a bracket from the back of the head to the power steering line? I couldn't find it in the catalog at work
I agree, well see. I have a feeling with the goodies ordered it will look much better.
Gotcha, yeah I would've swapped real quick but 1) I wanted to do it right 2) I had to pay for school
Thanks!
Right, I know of the bracket on the intake manifold, there's no way my line will reach. I'm wondering since the ex / si power steering lines have different part#s that maybe the si line is longer (since it has a larger valve cover). But still, it's missing a bracket for that bolt.Not sure how much the y8 and b16 differ but on the y8, I have that same empty threaded hole.

Hmm, can you snag me a part #? Maybe you'd recognize it from the diagrams.
lol I'm not lucky, I work hard for my parts at 50% offWow.once again. lucky bastard.
So, there was some fresh oil that I noticed on the engine and one of the techs said it was the cam seal (the plug behind the vtec solenoid). I replaced that last night and wiped the oil off, just to notice FRESH oil at where the block and the head meet.
Time for a thicker headgasket and arp headstuds!
Anyhow, also got my benen bar on last night and it looks damn sexy. I'll post some pics later.
ive got a cometic
yeah i'd recognize it if you had a diagram for me to see. it was like a black painted L bracket

I'm thinking #25, but that doesn't look right to me. Also, on the bracket you showed me does the bolt go into the side of the block (where my threads are) because it looks vertical, as does the bracket in the picture?
**EDIT: As far as the headgasket goes, I'm not sure what I'm after yet, but definetly something thicker to lower the CR a bit. While i'm there, I figure I might as well do a set of ARP headstuds too
