Project "Anna"

Very Nice.

I also like what you did with the Purge Valve. Was that part of the Sniper Install or did you put that together yourself?

I am going to try something similar with my Boss Intake, Never liked the valve just hanging

Did the brackets myself. Should have been part of the Sniper kit, but :shrug:
Didn't like the idea of just leaving it floating in the void

Nicest looking engine bay ever! :cheers:

Thank you

Just another quick update:

Took a few minutes to go one step further on the interior of the car and make that airbag match the Beith Performance wheel. Slapped on a carbon overlay as well as a white pony sticker from [MENTION=7648]Chameleon[/MENTION] and it just looks so much better. Couple more things to go on the inside... but I'll reveal those a little later.

Getting back under the hood, I've still got a lot of work to do. Car is back in the air and fascia is off. All new ProCharger piping is going in- relocating the BOV and eliminating the restrained (and now permanently dented) silicone inlet pipe. Rotomoulded inlet tubing will now be going on... after I paint it to match everything else, of course.

Also making some headway on fabbing up a new metal pipe for the throttle body. Once it's totally fitted, I'll be painting and installing that, too.

All this work in the engine bay got me thinking- it's pretty crowded and busy in here. Well... not for much longer...

And since the fascia is off, I'm going to finally address the lights and get them matching up with the flavor of the rear. Headlights will have some Diode goodies and a couple other surprises that I think will match perfectly. Turn signals are being replaced with Opt7's Arrow and the fog's are going to be the new Raxiom Halos (en route) so I still have a usable fog light button, but still run a brake cooler setup.

However, since I have an aftermarket fascia, I'm going to have to spend a little extra time with the Opt7s to make them fit how I want...

Well, back to work... More updates to follow

Hey Marcus......you need these to keep your beer cold.....:cheers:

Ya gotta keep everything color coordinated.

Everything is looking great BTW...

Yes! That is a must right there :cheers:
Seriously, being apart so much my engine block is colder than my beers have been

those halos have me very intrigued, I am excited to see how they look. I want to run the brake coolers but I want to keep my fogs so that seems like a solid example

I was in the same boat of wanting to retain fogs but add coolers- so this seemed like a good compromise. I'll be sure to get photos up when they're in


Update:
BOV relocation pipe is in and I can now install the new, larger, inlet pipe. Still working on the metal piping for the intake manifold, but was able to get the tune uploaded and start the car. It's been way too long since she's run- however, it was nice to know it's running well with the new intake.

Now that I know that she runs fine, it's time to finish yanking that wiring harness out and tuck it away. Washer fluid tank is out and the harness is half out so far- brackets are going in, too

Also decided to take a break from the engine bay (can only stare at wires for so long ahah), and work on the fascia. With a little shimming and trimming, the OPT7 lights sit much better with the fascia and are ready to go.

What part number throttle body adapter did you buy? I bought one from Holley for the 15 and up mustang, but it looks exactly like the opening of the intake, versus being the shape of the throttle body (if that makes sense).

Kudo's to a well color coordinated, very expensive build. I am building a R/T pony and could not imagine the expense and I will stay N/A for a while yet. Thanks for the views and suggestions.

I almost bought the Holley spacer, but did a ton of looking before I purchased and found that LMR makes a "Sniper install kit". In that kit is their SVE spacer, which can be bought separately- it's cheap and works perfectly.

Thank you! :cheers:
I stayed NA for a very long time as I knew as soon as I went boost it was going to get expensive fast, lol. Hopefully some of the things done can help give some good ideas

Just finished up the grille for the car. Opened it up the rest of the way so I can add in the Velossa Tech Big Mouth kit and show off a little more of that intercooler. Maybe get a little more air in their, too...

Still have the lower grille to do, but we're making progress!

Marcus,

did you just use a dremel tool to open up that grill? ive been wanting to do that to mine to get more airflow as well also can it be done on the car or will the bumper / grill need removed first?

I've seen people dremel them out, but IMO it's hard to do that cleanly. I pulled the grille out and cut the back off. Probably about an 1/8" or so. If you look at the honeycombs, you can see where the back section was molded on
