[jet_dogg]

Karbonius vented engine cover and Mishimoto electric fan:

Pure perfection bro!

Installed my cooling pipes and belt system. Changed out the transmission detent pins and springs.
Waiting for the clutch to come in the mail tomorrow.

My new oem CSL trunk that I purchased shipped out today too😁

What clutch did you order? Seems not many people running anything other than oem or some version of domestic stuffs.

At first I ordered an ACT smf set up, but the pressure plate ended up being on back order for over 2 months longer than expected. I returned the ACT unit and ordered and LUK flywheel and the SACHS performance clutch system, it seems like it has slightly more clamping force, and its also not self adjusting. Unfortunately, its like 3 times the price

Turned on the DeLonghi oil radiator in the insulated garage so as to keep the temperature reasonably above cold as hell. Wouldn't want him to get cold over late Fall/Winter/early Spring...

Karb FedEx'd me 6 12mm washers and instructed me that they go topside ( when the picture on their website appears to show metal fittings bottom side)

The studs are 10mm, so 12mm washers don't fit nicely either. The holes in the cover are more like 14-15mm. I have no idea why they would make them so large for a 10mm stud if there isn't an insert/sleeve

Not overly-impressed given the price of the cover. Will try to find a better fitting washer at the hardware store...

That's terrible man.

I'm an understanding man but that would be unacceptable to me.

Predictable, even the seemingly best companies can't seem to get little things right. Irritating.

Technically did this Sunday, but I installed my P3 Analog gauge and the LC-2 wideband. Oil pressure sensor is in the mail today as well

Very happy with the product and presentation of the gauge itself. I learned after purchasing that P3 is just a small 4 man operation out of Ohio.

Next thing coming is an HTE tune because boy is she running rough

Are you going to use an oil distribution block to plumb in the oil pressure sensor?

Hoping they get my intake, snorkel and trunk right! Just dropped some Benjamin's with them today (technically euros, I suppose).

No I was just going to use the extra port on the oil filter housing. That seemed to be the way to go for the S54

Nice do you happen to know what thread size that is?

I believe it is m12x1.5. I purchased an adapter to go from that to 1/8 npt. Then the corresponding pressure sensor. The entire setup was about $40, plus costs for extending the wiring harness.

The gauge itself is super adjustable to setup your own custom sensors. Doesn’t need to be one they have a preset for.

Nice. If you wouldn’t mind reporting back after the install this is part of my winter projects. Curious how much space there is and if an elbow is required.
