    Seems like theres the same amount of material there compared to the side you wanted to tap. Also looks like theres a ton of material to tap into right where the boss for the inspection bolt is.

    Heres a pic of the CBRD motor I was talking about.

    Yeah i spoke with Austin from STM and he said there was maybe two rows of thread on those holes but it held up fine on this car and it ran 8s @ 180mph. But I think my valve cover should be fine for venting.

    I'm gonna strip it real good and paint it. Just need a bit warmer weather to do it so the paint will cure properly. In the mean time the block, crack and head were sprayed with wd40 and shrink wrapped.

    nice man! Ive heard of the breather on the block through the evo guys as well. I was thinking of doing the same but eh... I have a vented dipstick and the -6AN valvecover breathers.

    I'd rather have the knowledge and ability to do it than the money to buy it already done.

    I have two -8AN on the valve cover. If I need more then I will vent the dip stick and go to a sealed can that will be connected to the intake so it will force the extra pressure out.

  11. #491
    I have some ss AN fittings I wanna weld on the power steering reservoir and I wanted to weld a 12an fitting on the oil pan so no more bolts vibrating loose and leaking. So ss rods are needed to weld ss to mild steel.

    Wish you mentioned you were on the market for aN entry level tig, I bought one of the Eastwood tigs but I found out it lacked lots of adjustability. Searched and found the ahp alpha tig kicked it's butt and was only $100 more.

    I compared Everlast, ahp and Eastwood. I decided to go with Eastwood cuz their warranty was the best. They pay for shipping both ways when sent it for repairs while the other two didn't pay shipping and u have to cover that. That was the only deal breaker for me.

    Been practicing welding. Still lots more to go. Yesterday and today I worked on the car. Engine bay is empty. Trimmed the radiator support to fit the 3" ETS intercooler behind the jdm bumper without having to cut the bumper. Also battled the harness to remove the fuse out of the bay, it was such a hassle doing that.

    What are your plans for the harness and how much power are you planning on?

    Right no nothing is planned for the harness. Maybe over next winter I will probably do some trimming and some tucking and maybe even relocation the fuse box to the trunk. The pic shows the fuse box section of the harness. The main harness is still in the bay. I don't feel like taking the heater core out to take the full harness off.

    As for power, I'm shooting for 30psi if I can. Using an EBC for boost so I don't just burn rubber at a stand still.

    I know my limitation is going to be the transmission. A little bird told me what u r doing about your transmission issue but that's not what I want to do.
