I hope all your progress is still going well!

Has there been any update to this?

Ive vented and ducted the radiator, in the engine bay, I will be running copper lines for cooling under the car. Gotten a valve job on the ej20 engine, rebuilt the head and replaced the hoses. Ive also gotten my renegade kit in for mounting the engine. For fuel, ive got an msd hi-flow in line pump, subaru swap fuel lines are coming in from tangerine. As for electronics, I bought a stinger ECU and just need the wiring harness from outfront (outback) motorsports, put in a autometer tach, a Hks EVC 5 boost controller, outback will be dyno tuning it. Currently figguring out my piping for the intercooler.... Ill be running air/water intercooler. I also dropped off the eisher plans for the cable shift system for the tail 914 at my machinist friend whos fabbing it up for me and rebuilding my tranny. Got my upholstery in a shop down in Irvine detting dressed back up and a new momo steering wheel.

If you want some pics or measurements of anything let me know.

Be careful with copper lines. Copper can crush and tear with speed bumps. Copper also does not like too much vibration and can break. Finally, Copper is a great heat conductor. It will directly transfer engine heat into your floor boards. Rubber hoses will be a better choice.

Thanks for the advice, I did not consider the heat transfer into the floor boards, I will most likely wrap it in Tundra pipe insulation good for Polyethylene foam. -90 to +210 deg. I I actually have the rubber hoses I purchased but just didnt like the idea of rubber hoses getting punctured by rocks/etc... plus I will be getting free medical grade copper from construction demolition at work.
