installed my billet stuff

I had intentions of doing my rear end swap. I got it up on jack stands, sprayed everything down, laid out all the tools I was going to need, but sat. found out the dealer ordered the wrong hubs, so no go on that project. As I was putting the wheels back on fed ex came with this stuff.



I cleaned it up the best I could, it's still really dirty.




I want to do a fire wall cover for sure, and paint the coolant reservoir next. I'm anxious to see how Adam's hose sleeves turn out. Has anyone re routed the wires to the throttle body? They look bad. Is there a flow direction on the catch can? How about a fitting for the lower connection, I have a sharp bend in the hose, looks like maybe there should be an elbow there?

looks real good man.

Love billet stuff! Looks great.

Congrats, looks great, I wondered the same thing about lower CC hose. Mine has been fine after 2 weeks.

Looks good man!!!

I'm gonna be tackling the hoses pretty soon this week, wife is outta town so I have some "me" time in the garage LoL


I was wondering about the tb wires too, I might mess with them and see what I can come up with. Also was wondering about the cc hose as well, was thinking of using part of the oem hose for the bend and then sleeving over it to hide the connection maybe, I MIGHT have to buy another braided sleeve kit, so I might have another upper radiator hose sleeve if ya want man....

I played with the throttle body wires a little bit yesterday, with no luck. I pulled the wire loom apart all the way back to the firewall, but the wires aren't run cleanly so in order to separated the IAT and TB wires I'd need to cut them. I'm not sure that running them on the drivers side would make the end connection look any better anyways. So it was about 2 hours for nothing. I was able to "stretch" them out enough to hook it under a stud and make them look slightly better. I'm going to shave and body match the CAI, so maybe I can relocate the IAT to the bottom then. Anyone know if this would effect how it works?



I also smoothed the fuse box cover. The first step in a red, backlit, SRT lid I'm going to experiment with.

I pulled the throttle body off to clean the back of the blade and it was spotless. I've seen some pics of cars without a catch can that were pretty gnarly. I did have a small pool of stuff in the back of the intake that I soaked up, and about a table spoon of shit in the catch can after only a week.

looks sick man. wish i had the 6.1!

There's a guy on LXF (SRT-ED I think) that sold the PCV with a 90* fitting on it. Then you can run a straight hose off the catch can.
I've also used a small spring to keep the hose from collapsing in the bend.

I'll check into it, thanks
