It's possible I missed it in the 21 pages but what front accessories did you use on the motor? I didn't think the lq4 water pump would work with that intake manifold?

Alright, I always thought the alternator was underneath the power steering pump. I'm currently in the process of a very similar build.

I'm sure you could do that with e85. Not to mention some awesome track times those cars fly since they are so light.......In my opinion i would much rather do e85 than meth and pump anyday. It makes more power and guys swear by it. Just the issue is that its not available everywhere. If it was on every corner not ONE person would be saying meth and pump gas was better

You on the stock bottom end in the LQ4? Did it have the more stout rods and pistons?

Love your build btw. Car looks awesome.
