after it came in, we cleaned her up, took the parts out, and looked over what we needed.

so right now im looking for ic piping, bov, couplers and clamps.
lmk what u got.

-Marty

cheap intercooler piping? use ABS pipe and paint it with exhaust paint.

took all boost parts off; returned to stock, going to do lsvtec and boost later.

all shits forsale!

nice catch good luck with the project.

let the boostin begin.......

Looks like the whole family is into the project!!!!

So yesterday I was bored and staring at this parts truck I had in my backyard, i noticed it had a nice exhaust on it with some decent looking bends

so 10mins with a grinder and the ---- came loose!

at that point I started cutting out the lenths and bends I needed.

this is the first pipe on the intake side, first time welding with an $80 princess auto mig. :S

so to tally it up, i need 6 couplers, 12 clams, a bov and a 5 bolt flange for a dp I made. *but if i can find one with the flange on, perfect :)

love the green tape!

lol, well something had to hold it till i pick up couplers!

looking decent so far.

good thinking! you're HMT material.

anyone have a 1g dsm bov? with a pipe pref. paypal ready.

I see your CDN, where you located?
I have 3 uncrushed DSM BOVs I may be willing to part with.

homemade is the way to be son...

We made intercooler piping out of krylon cans one time, just cause we could...lol

in for updates

x1

very nice so far and definate kudos for using your head and using that exhaust.....

all thats missing is some JB weld

morrisburg Ontario

$50 - pvc for the mother ------- win, 2" all around fits nice took 20min.

so now I need;

braided oil feed line
x1 2" coupler
x2 clamps for said coupler
5 bolt DP
chipped ecu with removed o2
turbo flange ------- thing to make it circular (compressor where I put the therm housing).
vaccum line
and to rig up a bov.

other than that shes good to go ; and as a joke I thought i'd try fitting the stock thermostat housing to the turbo, it fits .. wierd lol..

and voila, should have this slut running by next weekend cuz thats when I leave. I'll hve more update pics hopefully by then a perhaps a video.

if anyone has a cheap bov or any of the mentioned parts lmk wednesday ill have paypal ready! Thanks :)

-Marty

ill sell you a oem nissan silvia bov it will be easy to mount it just has a 1" or 1.25" pipe to mount it like the plastic bosche bovs just get a with that in it at homodepot and bam you have a bov

sell ... as in mail it to me for free cuz u want to see this thing going :D?

correct if wrong but isnt burnt/melted pvc really bad like ton-o-chemikills in it?? i just kinda remeber some one a while ago mentioning it. hope u have some left over exhaust pipe for the hot side of the ic atleast . remeber kids safety first

the black pvc should hold up ok for a little bit. if it was the white pvc i would say dont run it for very long but it wont hurt anything internally just the pipies will melt is all

ya? I got the flange for the turbo yesterday. Do you think it will melt internally? cuz im heat wrapping all the piping once its done.

I don't know about your pipes .put down here we have hot pluming PVC pipes that can handle 200*f all day long.

ll find out, I ordered an ebay intercooler/piping/bov kit so when ever the pvc melts my dad will swap that ---- in since ill be gone.

nice car and build

thats the smartest bored outta you mind moment ive ever seen lol very creative man ! looks awsome !

loL,I just noticed this. You could use that temp sensor as some sort of n2o trigger.;D

Instead of kicking on the fan at around 170 degrees, it fires off a 50 shot.

Turbo + N20 on a stock block FTW!! Ahahaha

waiting for parts gah, I leave wednesday night to go on base, so it'll be at least 6-8 months before I can post an update.

I did buy an 89 jdm silvia with a ca18det with gt28r swap and afc neo. pretty sweet car needs front mount piping bov and skyline injectors to get to 300whp :) - - will post pics of that next time im on here annnnnnnnnnnd of the new 07 600RR! :D

oh and if I don't ever post again, I died in Afghanistan.

in case I do ^ - thanks for all the help and support for the past 3 years!

-Marty

correct me if im wrong becuase i am no nissan expert but didnt all sylvias get sr20s and the 180sx's get the ca18s?

Marty..if you got stationed in baharain in your way going to our back from afghanistan (hopefully) pm me. and good luck .

ahhah i like that ----. i also got an EF. not as clean tho. mn's rust is nasttyyyy!

that thing looks like a lot of fun. good luck with the project.
