Well, it looks really cool. Not worried about the effects of positive crankcase pressure?
Oh, and what's the blue and red injectors for?

Haha, as cool as that is, it'll be highly amusing if you blow a piston ring and overpressurise the block :D

Very nice, slightly spiky & pointy perhaps but it's the first one I've seen!

Makes diagnosis of engine problems easier doesn't it? "Gee, I wonder why it runs so bad" "Oh, now that I see this hole I know why"

One slip whilst working on the engine and your local ER department would be in stitches for a week. And, uh, so would you...
I like it.

Is that part of the "Mad Max" accessory kit? All you need is some blades sticking out of the wheels and you're set!
Now about that mohawk haircut you need to get...

Guys lol - the crank case is venting through the valve cover like 99.99% of cars so yah not an issue. The dipstick shooting out is a DSM/Evo thing. We don't tend to have that problem as our crank case vents are larger diameter than our dipstick tubes.
I think its just bad ass - yeah its sharp and yeah you'll get hurt if you fall on the engine - so don't fall on the engine :)
We paid special attention to replicating the stock o-rings and taper to make it just like a stock replacement piece. Kind of neat.

Nah vinny, the spike is larger than the OD of the tube it sits in, so its easy to pull out

I love the way you setup your Nitrous. Did you do all the pipe bending + flaring yourself?

Lol.....you mean if there is motor oil on your palm and you grab just the cone...you can lift it out still ?:D
Color him Kung Fu grip for sure !
( realizing you;d use the bottom of the cone as a finger flange ohterwise,of course) Pardon my stupid humor...

You owe me a new monitor and keyboard, because I've just laughed a mouthful of beer all over them.
That's nice work.
Any ETs yet?
