Built ZC project update
Here is where the project is right now. AC fits. I need to order my mandrel bends. What would be the differences between the MANDREL-BENT ALUMINIZED TUBING and Heavy-duty 16-gauge T304 stainless steel, both from JC Whitney?
Rollerwaves
Eagle rods
ARP head studs
SS valves/rebuilt ported head
Apexi D series turbo kit (IHI dual BB turbo)
ZDYNE gold w/450cc injectors
Walbro fuel pump
PWR FMIC
I'll get the whole list together when the project is done and do a write-up.
Comments and advice welcome.

Don't make me feel guilty and broke guys! I guess I shoudn't mention the kaaz lsd and the progress coilovers... It has been a couple years in the making though.
I was thinking about getting the tubing coated the same as the mani to fight corrosion, but I hadn't thought about rust on the inside.
Any opinions on where to bump up the charge piping from 2" (from the turbo) to 2 1/4" (IC inlet)? I was thinking of bumping it up just before the U bend that will be coming out that hole in the front framing. Probably doesn't really matter I guess.
Any suggestions besides JC whitney for couplers and bends? I already found out that CCA doesn't have 2 1/4" bends...

If I were you I would go with aluminized tubing and get it powdercoated. It would probably be cheaper in the long run. jung4g does it, write him and get a cost. his email is fried_rich@hotmail.com

man...if i had a setup where i put that much time and money in it i would go and spend the extra bucks and get aluminum charge pipes.
Aluminzed and just mild steel are different b/c when its aluminzed it is less likely to rust. straight aluminum will never rust. get the aluminum pipes...
