While the engine is out and almost ready to go back in I thought I would tidy up the boost controller install from before which had me sitting my SBC-R in the position of the factory one near the battery. I used to get some pretty spikey boost at times so I have relocated the SBC-R to where the air filters are, I have a bit more room here now my washer bottle is where the battery USED to be.
Anyway the plan is to run the SBC-R off a boost pressure source on the turbo side of the engine, through the unit and back to the actuators without crossing the engine bay, saving roughly 2m of hose in the process.
The controller unit in the car requires a pressure feed to it as well, so I was going to take this off the underside of the plenum and run it direct into the cabin to save routing of hoses.
I am then left with the water lines for the turbo from behind the block, I no longer need three pipes running behind the block, so I was going to ditch the whole piece off and run a 10mm water hose from the bracket on the turbo side to the two connectors on the intake side of the block. This also alleviates the problem I have created with my read head oil drain.
