Jimi's build update

Hey bud! Thanks for your reply via pm. Where would I find a overflow reservoir similar to that?
I got mine at a "hot-rod" shop in Texas.
Look at Summit racing or Jegs, when I get a chance I'll see what I can dig up.
Edit: I looked on summits site and they have them there, just do a search for reservoir.

Haven't heard of any meet. Gota link to the info?
EDIT: I found it, As long as all goes well, (haven't fired her up yet after doing the latest work) I should be able to make it.

I'm impressed with your air filter box solution: Innovative, functional and a show piece.

At cruise, you really should have some means for purging blowby out of the crankcase with vacuum. There seems to be no provisions for this due to the screened breathers on the valve covers not piped to anything else.
Granted, Gasoline is lower in sulphur than was the case in years past, but other combustion products remain corrosive, The time spent under boost is relative short as compared with normal vacuum, so you don't need to be concerned with purging the crankcase during boost. But allowing a non-purged crankcase all of the time eventually will lead to decrepit beaing surfaces and other corrosion
Just my 2 cents.

Thanks Bernie.
Those pics are from over 3 years ago, if you read on in the build, that set up has changed and was only there to start up the engine.
Here is the most resent pic of the PCV system:

No real updates as I am working out of town for the next couple weeks. But I did get some pics of my hood vents painted and the screens installed. This hood will hopefully be gone soon, as I want to track down a CF hood and put these vents on it. But for now I have this:
^^^Thanks guys 
I just got my new Viper alternator from Aaron @ Driftmotion today, this is a 120 amp alt. The reason for this is that I'm running an electric cooling fan and now with the electric air pump for the PCV, I thought this higher amp alt would be a good Idea.
The only downside so for is it doesn't fit the Suprasport LIPP alternator bracket, suck, so I will have to do some modding, oh well whats new, mods are part of the game
Here are comparison pics of the Viper one next to the Supras stock one, it's a little bit bigger :sarcasm:

Thanks Ben, we will see if I can get this alt to work :nono:
If it's not one thing, it's another. After some grinding on the bracket and the alt, and drilling a new hole in the alt, it fits the bracket. (you should not have an issue with the stock bracket set up, as it will adjust to the larger alt)
But now the pulley doesn't fit the viper alt! The stock shaft is 15mm, the viper one is 17mm, so much for just swapping the pulley
EDIT: After some research it looks like the GTE alt is suppose to have a 17mm shaft and a GE is a 15mm, so some how a GE alt ended up on my car :icon_roll
So now I need to find a GTE pulley!

Wow, almost a year from my last post...crazy, sorry guys! The latest is that the engine is done for.....I blew the #3 cylinder section on the HG after installing the new HKS HG.... on the first drive. So yeah the simple fix didn't work...the car has been sitting for a year with no work done to it. And now that boarding season is over here in CO, I can get back to getting the supie back up and running! I really want to find a long-block that was built properly to drop in....I want to shoot JARCO in the face!!!!!!
BTW the alt is working great, got a pulley that fit and all is good!!!
