I'm hoping it does the trick. I'm so torn between throwing some TSX pistons into the motor along with swapping the head or just keeping it stock block with an a2 head

Sick!! What does the bottom portion look like? What manifold is this? I've never seen it before. Looks interesting, could work or could be poor. :shrug:

Ninja edit: I see it's an FN2 RSP manifold. Why is it so rare and what's special about it?

What is the benefit of this? I haven't heard of this either. You should make a thread about this, so there can be a dedicated topic where people can chime in and learn. Would +rep you for sure

How much of a different CR will it result in? Please make a thread about this, would be a great idea. I've never heard that before myself :thumb:

I've been slacking here. ABS is getting relocated, car is getting repainted, brakes are getting powdercoated, new power steering high pressure line is getting made.

Nice list! Where does ABS get relocated to? And what color paint and powdercoat?! New high pressure ps line, hmmm.. why a new one?

ABS is going underneath the windshield cowling where the Cruise Control was, Paint will remain Satin Silver Metallic, and the powdercoated wheels will be a nice shade of grey. The power steering line is just massive and unsightly from the factory so I'm making one that will route slightly differently around the engine bay and therefore remove that eyesore.

So I tore off the nasty rear brakes in preparation for what's happening next

And then I started running the lines from the ABS unit to the preexisting Goodrich Stainless Lines
