I'm assuming you are going to do all the fab/mounting, etc, then pull it out for body and paint? Looks great so far...

you got it. im not going to do much to the exterior at this point.. i like the sleeper look ;-)

right now we are fabing up everything in the engine bay and once we got everything figured out we are gona pull the motor and my paint guys gona paint the bay.

Anyone in socal know of a good place to get 2.5 aluminum IC piping?

Thanks Paul. Soon as I'm up and running I'd love to take it to your shop to get tuned. I took it to Jason at emance and I know you have tuned a few of his programs. My goal is JCCS. How's your build going?

progress looks good! are you going to paint the engine bay? Im trying to figure out what im going to do with my engine bay because the way you have it setup right now the engine looks like a diamond in the rough! I think it looks pretty cool! :tu:

Man this is a nice build! That's a great looking engine.

turned out t turbo outlet is 2.5 and my IC inlet on the hot side is 2.25 so i need to cut it off and get a new 2.5 welded on so i dont have a bottle neck

tight fit

Topher88 · **Posted:** Sun Jul 01, 2012 10:00 am

Cold side done just needs to get welded and the hot side is going to be super easy

little update

Got the 240sx rear brakes on (now i need to make some custom lines)

welded up the strut towers front and back

pretty sure this is where the adjustable proportioning valve is going to go

back seat is gone

Most of the holes are shaved and bay is stitch welded and primer should be going on tomorrow then paint shortly after

Looking good mate!

Got my wheels back

Welded in some spacers for the rad so it will be nice and stout when installed and makes life easy

It's getting there!
