Definitely would love to get some hood vents from you. Already have a huge radiator. I cut off the mounts and made new mounts. Becool 35202 26.5x19.5.

Update: Tore apart the front end to fix the smoking issue with the turbo oil drains. Turns out one of the drains was being blocked by the oil windage pipe behind the drain boss and the other line was slightly kinked. I relocated the bosses to the sides of the pan and verified nothing is blocked. I also rebuilt the turbos with all new piston rings, O-rings, and bearings. I changed the drain line to a full 5/8 rubber hose and used precision high flow turbo oil drain fittings with no gaskets, only O-rings. I figured while I was doing all this work, I moved the radiator forward and made more room for the top radiator hose. I also swapped the cam with a BTR stage 2 turbo cam, 7.4" .080 wall solid BTR pushrods, and changed out the rocker arm trunnion bushings with solid brass bushings. Tapped the driver's side valve cover for a -10 vent and used the passenger's side with a -10 to oil fill adapter, all going to a -10 catch can with breather. I also added a 4 port steam vent kit from motion race works with top bleed fitting. Almost everything is reassembled, hoping to startup this weekend and test the turbo drains, then start tuning again. Being back in the states is awesome for getting parts compared to Guam!

Also ordered some stainless material to make heatshields for the coils. Kind of like the Dai Yoshihara LS7 FRS.

Working on swapping gears to a 3.58 r&p. Got the ring gear mounted, case torn down, ready for powdercoat. Waiting for nitro gear 8" toyota rebuild kit and 1350 pinion upgrade to set bearing preload, pinion depth, backlash, and carrier preload. Going with a solid pinion spacer and upgraded axles. Anyone know the easiest way to remove the bushings in the case?

Roughly 800 for everything minus 1350 flange upgrade. Still deciding on that due to different ds needed.
