just cut one out of some 1/4 steel plate or somthin, its cheap as hell if not free. all you need is a grinder. sweet setup though, I've always had a thing for integra's

Some copper rtv will hold up to the heat on ur blockoff plate, Ive got some between my turbo and mani, its only rated for 900 i think, but holds fine

How the hell do you fabricate all that and not have a welder on hand to tack things in place and check clearance and ----? Id be getting rid of as many couplers a s possible and it looks like you can lose atleast 2, those home depot ones blow off like no other and ---- does that ever suck

Take some vice grips and give the pipe a little lip, will hold ncice

Setup looks good though

Ive also got the oil leak, I think its the block fitting
