Building a Boosted Duratec
Ok... So a lot has gone on in the past few days. Mainly Saturday lol.

I had some time to assemble the front end and it looks awesome.

I greased everything on it. I had gotten all new bolts for the Knuckles and even had to buy some pipe to cut and make a shim so the knuckle would tighten onto the strut base.

I put the brakes back on just for now. I need to repaint the calipers green as well and paint the hub on the rotor.

Wheels on, almost there...

I had a buddy with me working on my engine. He installed silicone on the Cossy and then we installed it with Loctite on the new bolts.

While is was off I had a look at the back and used the PCV port to install my AEM Watermeth sprayer. It is at the perfect location too. It will hit all 4 velocity stacks equally and be mix with the incoming air. But I had to use a couple different brass fittings to get it away from the heat, down to the fitting size I needed. (1/2"NTP to 1/8"NTP).

Then I installed my Siemens 60LBS injectors and stock fuel rail. It's ugly but it as a highflow rate and it works. It will also work perfectly with my fuel pump upgrade it I need to do it too. No return line here to heat up the fuel and make the fluid thicker...

Ok, today I had a quick 20minutes to move the civic out then the engine out and then get my Focus out of the shop lol What a PITA it was to roll. And after rolling the civic it is really heavy lol.
It was hard to roll because the suspension settled and the tires were rubbing. I had to raise it up more but I am thinking I have to get some different springs in the rear for height... We will see if I can't get it any higher when it is driving.

Oh it looks so good. But you can see I have to drop the front strut height lol
