Overflow relocation and motor update pics

[Bmxr152]

I hated having an ugly gatorade bottle chillen on the top case of the tranny, so i decided to find a spot for the factory overflow and found that the the stock SMIC spot is perfect. I just rand some metal straping stuff from around the tank and pushed it through where the stock UICP would come through. obviously you have to have a fmic but thats why i relocated in the first place.

BTW the overflow does fit nice and snug and fully filled doesnt have a chance to go anywhere. plus i get to use the factory sensors

Heres some goodies for the new motor break in. I noticed with my previous setup that the hot pipe was really hot from exhaust heat so im going to try so heat wrap. Even if it reduced the temps by 80* it would be great.

Any reason you're not using the 2 piece axle on the driver's side? Or I'm I just looking at one part of the two parts?

Nope, reusing the drives side one piece axle. I thought the AWD axle needs to be modded to fit?

I like the relocation. I couldn't figure out for the life of me how to mount the stock reservoir in that area though so I used the rear wiper fluid tank. See here:

Dang it you took my idea. Im sure people have put them where the Side mount goes before but the other day I noticed I could fit it. I just have to mount it. Either way I like what you did and the parts you got!

IMO its a good spot since its not in the engine bay taking up space, and it has a lot more holding a sealing capacity than a gatorade bottle. Hopefully my car will be running nice soon, still just waiting on the pistons and rods from dsmgraveyard.
