Thanks for the topic bump! I've been meaning to come back and update this.
Sadly over the winter I did not get much work done on the car. Busy times. I've recently been getting back into the project to get everything wrapped up.
Currently I am getting the valve cover cleaned by a vapor blasting service before reinstallation. There was lots of built up gunk so I wanted to start fresh. Also the sealant on the PCV baffles was completely toast so I figured it was a good time to start fresh. While that is out I am devising a better PCV system entirely. I removed the press fit adapter from the valve cover and I am attempting to see if one of the Radium swivel press in fittings might be substituted.
This would make the PCV setup a bit cleaner. According to their fitment matrix the smallest AN size I can get is a -12. A bit bigger than I wanted, but I'll give it a shot.
Next up, since I've had a lot of time to research, I think I'm going ahead with a drive by wire conversion. I'm tired of the idle up valve, cruise control modulator, and throttle cables. I've got an ECU that can do it, I just need to find the right hardware. After a *lot* of internet digging, I think I've found a suitable throttle body. I somehow jumped from MR2 forums to DSM forums to EvoX forums to Mustang forums to find that the 2014+ Ford Focus uses what seems to be the same bolt pattern for mounting and is a similar throttle body bore if not the same as a Gen2 3SGTE. The positioning of the actuator motor might be a problem, but I receive the throttle body today so I'll be able to test. Worst case if the bolt pattern is correct but it sits too close to the mounting flange, there are either the junk "vortex air" spacers or meth injection spacers on the market for the ST (same throttle body) that I can easily use to get the motor housing away from the flange.
I'm sure there will be some "hurr durr why DBW CABLE IS BETTER BRO" comments. Just know that you don't know what you are talking about.
