No I ordered a longer one. This feed line is 36” and I guess I need 48 to wrap around the block. I have it set up like that so no bugs don’t go crawling in. If I got the manifold coated and wrapped I may have ran the line like that. But then it would be a pain to simply just remove the valve cover. Also if by some freak of nature the oil line blew, wouldn’t want hot oil spraying all over a hot manifold.~Nick~

Small Update:
So had some free time today after passing my Navigation test. I started routing the cold side intercooler piping as well as mounting the intercooler.
I had to cut up some of the pipe that connects the intercooler to the upper pipe. Though I was hoping I wasn't going to have to do any cutting. I need to purchase a 3" clamp for the throttle body coupler.
I also routed the (green plug) alternator wire under the block and up and used a hose bracket to ensure it doesn't move or interfere with crank pulley. I am going to add an adel clamp on the back side to ensure it doesn't move.
I then mounted the oil catch can and BOV. Right now the oil catch can is only held on by one bolt, so I am going to have to create a bracket for the other bolt to mount to.
I plan to work on it some more this weekend, hopefully have it ready to be put back on the ground.Last edited by Grumpys93; 02-12-2019, 11:09 PM.~Nick~

Not sure what the wagon bumper beam is like, but the skin protrudes more than a sedan/coupe bumper. Maybe you could get a thinner steel beam made that mimics the front of the fiberglass beam, but is thinner to allow for the intercooler, but still provide some strength.90 LX 4dr 5 spd 396,014 (sold 1/1/2022) - MRT: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=201450

So a little set back has occurred, as I stated earlier the manifold Blake designed did not clear the hood, so instead of hacking up that beautiful manifold, along with the amount of time it would take to modify it, he could build me a new one.
So Blake is redesigning a new manifold, instead of going with a hybrid, ramhorn/bottom mount, we are going strictly bottom mount/equal length.
I am not to worried as this allows me time to tackle the other small tasks I wanted to get done.
So for valentine's Day my wife looked on my amazon list and bought a few things:
New clutch master, as my 26 year old one is now leaking, 2awg wire to finish the battery to engine ground, some edge guard to protect the intercooler piping passing through the cut frame.
I then finished mounting and routing the oil catch can hoses:
Once that was done I mounted and wired up the MAC 4 port boost solenoid, all I have left to do is connect the vacuum lines to the wastegate. This will allow me to do boost by gear and increase boost on the fly.
Some other things I did but didn't take pictures was change out and route the longer 90* bend oil feed line as well as started removing the clutch master cylinder.
It's slowly coming along guys, almost there.Last edited by Grumpys93; 02-18-2019, 01:38 AM.~Nick~

Yep I am rocking the esp traction bar. Have been since his first batch. Still one of the best purchases I have ever made.~Nick~

So got some small work done on the Accord, when I was routing the AEM Oil Pressure gauge I noticed that the Clutch master was leaking. So decided to replace that with a new one, install was fairly easy and bleeding the clutch as well.
Odd vs New:
Since Raf pointed out I need to clean up the rest of the bay I went ahead and cleaned up the reservoir as best as I could:
Before:
After:
I then decided to start tackling the crash bar and bumper cover and though I made the intercooler fit inside the crash bar like a glove, I think trying to get the intercooler to fit in the bumper cover and look decent or good is beyond my skills. So I will be seeking a body shop sometime in the future to do that job for me.
After that I mounted the Neuspeed 4 point strut bar and called it a day:
