Hmmmm.... Interesting! Are you holding out on us Sam? I found one on eBay for $40.00 - or maybe it was $80.00 - a year or so ago. I almost bought it when I was in the turbo system 'scratch build' thought process mode. Anyway, they are one solid, well constructed piece, aren't they. I only wish I'd sprung for the ceramic coated option when I ordered my kit. Mine started to get a wee bit of surface rust the few days after it was simply installed on the car.

We've totally hijacked this poor person's thread! =D

I bought it as a pre-emptive measure so that I didn't miss out on it the way I missed out on the RPM long tube header. Zero plans to do FI on my daily driver, I can barely maintain it as NA.

You're right, we have hijacked. Largely my fault. My apologies to the op. Good to have the mani lying around, 'just in case'.

I'm still shopping around for the header. The MWR piece is a bit pricey for me though.

I did go ahead and buy all the stuff I'll need to build a complete 2.25 exhaust. Should be a pretty miserable job without a lift.

My main job now is sourcing accessories and all the hardware that my engine is missing.

Does anyone have a good picture of the factory engine hooks?
I am going to weld up my own using some old ones I have of a miata.

[stidnam]

I've ordered some but they haven't arrived yet. Can take photos when they do.

Here's the set I have on my spare 2ZR. Front is just a simple flat hook with an anti-rotation tab on the collar. Rear is a bit more complex because it is perpendicular to the mounting surface and has a slightly more complex anti-rotation tab.

That is a great help. Thanks!

Bought a WPN-R header on EBay last week for $280.
I can't imagine it will make much power over the stock piece but it is full stainless and well made.

That's a beautiful piece! It definitely looks like it would breathe better than the stock manifold.

Discovered a large crack in my intake manifold this weekend...I'm having to source one from my local yard.

Does anybody have thoughts on which one is best? It looks like there are at least two designs and a recall on some of them. The placement of the vacuum hose for the brake booster is the only visual difference I can see.

Where on the car are those tubes? Are they from the top of the engine, attached to the head? The Auto trans cooler is just in the bottom of the rad with rubber inlet and outlet hoses. Is that tubing part of the throttle body heater/cooling circuit? The other aluminum tubing on top of the engine is for vacuum to the brake booster, afaik.

Its the one that feeds the heater hose/throttle body. It runs across the trans side of the motor.

This project had to take a back seat to work stuff for a bit but I managed to get it the swap done this weekend. If you disassemble the front end of the car getting the old motor out is not a big deal. I left the short driver's side axle attached to the transmission until it was out because there is not a lot of clearance to a prybar on it under the car. Beyond that I don't think I did anything different than the others on here..

Speedometer wires from the old harness.

Is that 11.8v while the engine is running?
