Honestly, it doesn't make that much difference having the filter there or having it in the bay. You're more likely to suck in rain and birds than anything.

Just make a hood scoop!
Hopefully cleaning everything will take care of the oil psi problem.

there is no gasket for the oil pan, you are supposed to use FIPG or a good black RTV

Hopefully it stays that way
Now to fix a small coolant leak an get the tires back on
But as of right now she holds a constant 23psi at idle an a constant temp of 180-185
Tge oil psi goes from 23-24 at idle to just shy of 70psi at 5700rpm

How are you envisioning this? I'm thinking 80s style, a rectangle cut in the hood, then a scoop in similar formation with a pipe end running to the throttle body. Trim it on the outside with a bit of black.

The headlight will yeild much more power than a hood scoop. The two high pressure areas are the front bumper and windshield while the hood is a lowpressure area. There may be a couple PSI of pressure built up in front of the bumper at high speeds which is like free horsepower

I like having all of my headlights though.

I hardly ever use my high beams so im ok with one being gone
Plus itll have 4 foglights across the front once its done

Well ive put 3.8 mile on her an everything seems to be ok
I do have a couple small oil leaks around the pan an the drain plug
So in giving this oil a coyple hundred miles then im going the drop the pan again an re seal it an put in the new drain plug
95 gt coupe, v6 swap weekend toy99 gt hatch beams swapped wife's94 st hatch my daily driverhttp://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=82235n
when u do i would highly recomend you use the gunk
Sludge remover.. GREAT product! put it in and run the car for 5 min right before you do you drain for the oil change.. shoudl do wonders to get the rest of the crap out of your motor..
"The buy my stuff, for help make great finish project of celica fund!"
As of right now i dont want to put anything like that in an take a chance ofclogging the bearings or anything else
not saying it a bad product ive just read alot of bad things about dumping sludge cleaner in a 1mz
Im waiting to see how much gung is in the pan after a couple hundred miles.
Hoping none lol but dought thatll happen

Could try using synthetic oil, or a synthetic blend, for softening and removing sludge at a slower rate.
2001 Miata LS 5-speed
you can drop a quart of ATF in there. it'll clean up the sludge slowly ehough to not break off chunks.. turned insides of my engine from nasty brown to dark amber after a few oil change cycles

Im going to switch to synthetic in about 1200 miles
95 gt coupe, v6 swap weekend toy99 gt hatch beams swapped wife's94 st hatch my daily driverhttp://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=82235n
Be careful switching to synthetic. I ran Royal Purple in my 5sfe with 115,000 miles and it blew the oil pump gasket, the rear main seal and the oil cooler gasket. Its not concrete evidence but all 3 gaskets blew out about a week after putting synthetic in that 17 year old engine. I guess the additives in the conventional oil were holding the gaskets together.
Other than that I think synthetic is the ****. Superior in every way to conventional except for cost.
