Ahhh, man you can just buy those at Wal Mart... they're an air/water separator for air compressors. I'd sell you mine but I'm missing an o-ring.

Unless your smog guy does NOT find out about your high-flow cat, than you will fail. It is illegal to replace your cat, if it is not broken, with a high-flow one.

Case in point: Stafford killed my exhaust system when we were developing my turbo kit. He had to buy me a new cat converter, and at that point we decided to replace it with a 3" inlet/outlet high flow Catco unit. Then, construct a 3" midpipe.

When I went to go get smogged, I passed the test only because the stock cat converter had been destroyed, so it was necessary to replace it. Even though we went with a high-flow aftermarket unit, Catco ones are still emissions legal.

Well, first off be sure to take what spike said into consideration. With that said, I can tell you that the ones you see on ebay are fine (I got mine there). But the reason I got mine was because my stock cat was most likely clogged because my engine had been burning oil for the past 30k miles. So I wanted to be sure to have a fresh cat for my new motor. If you don't need one, like spike said, don't get one.

Okay!

I finally found the time to upload these pics. I have more that I'll be dumping into my imagestation account tomorrow. For now, these were all I could fit on my nc.org account.

Here's Steve and Rob of ECSF getting the battery and fuse boxes out bright and early @ 7:30am.

Mike, Steve and Rob huddle around the engine finding secure places to mount chains to pull the motor:

And, without too much trouble.... out comes the old motor:

Right before lunch, old engine out (right) new engine (left) ready to be prepped.

Here we go, new engine all ready to be installed.... MWR flywheel, gripforce clutch and toga oil pump are all installed, and the hotshot header is being bolted up:

Just about ready to drop it in:

There we go.... nice fit. Looks like we're getting th motor mounts lined up here:

And there you go, all installed and cleaned up.

You might want to note that this engine is equipped with the first ever: Shortest Short Ram Intake Evar!!! (SSRIE) Just the filter, MAFS housing and from there right into the throttle! Yeah, it's kindof odd, but thusfar it has performed fairly well. Unfortunatly we had to do it this way as my 4 year old AEM intake pipe had a hole rubbed in it from the tranny. This will most certianly do 'till I get myself a TPR intake.

I have some more pics that I'll be dumping onto my imagestation account tomorrow... I'll post the link once I do.

Here's the link for the rest of the pics, there's quite a few on there that I couldn't fit on my account here.... including oil catch canister placement, remote oil pressure sensor and more.
