...and the rebuild commences...

[thermal]

UPDATE:
Although the progess may seem slow to some, it really has been a productive few days for me. I was held back a little bit while researching the thread pitch of the coolant banjo fitting for the GT35R turbo. I actually found it accidentally via an RX7 forum. Since I no longer use a stock IACV, I used the existing coolant connections for it and routed it to the coolant side of the turbo passage. It turned out great but it really is too hard to take pics of it.

Pic 1 is the refabricated intercooler pipe inlet side. This is now the fourth one I did. I'm somewhat happy with it. I chose to use a 2.5 inch inlet side to increase the velocity coming into the intercooler.

Pic 2 is the mounted position of the intercooler and the 3 inch intercooler outlet piping that I fabbed.

Pic 3 is just another pic of the 3 inch charged pipe with the tial BOV which also now has a stiffer spring.

Pic 4 is the mounted position of the Ford IAVC.

Pic 5 is the C.O.P. conversion.

All the wiring for the C2Di, IACV, and TPS is done. The bumper is back on. All fluids are replenished. It is time to fire the car up. I just need to get my tuner in the garage to adjust the EMS to compensated for the C.O.P.
