Ok. Just bought a PLX R-300 wideband datalogger.

Definitely running out of money at this point

 

great, you just saved thousands in dyno tuning expenses.

 

Update!

I got a 3" inlet Vibrant Performance dual tip muffler that looks liek the Cattman.

I got all the flanges, my oil pump arrived.

I bought oil fittings.


The only things left I guess are couplers, clamps, and piping! - which is around $400 or so -_- i'm poor.

 

damn I only spent about 100 on couplers clamps and piping lol.

 

I dont even think i spent that much on them lol. But then again i only habe 900 into all of my turbo stuff. That will change this winter when i change my turbo.

 

Haha well where did you guys buy couplers/clamps?

I need hella T-bolt clamps and all sorts of couplers.

My exhaust charge piping will cost around $250 for parts and labor. I'm not making them, my exhaust shop is.

 

oh thats right. forgot you were doing your exhaust piping as well. well i actually used radiator hose as couplers and for turns lol. has been working for almost a year with no problems, its meant to handle heat, and pressure so why not lol. and i also used regular worm gear clamps under the car to the turbo, and i used tbolt clamps in the engine bay (since thats where it would pop out).

 

I see. I'm kinda iffy on that.

I want to use all t-bolt clamps and only HTS couplers. But it gets expensive.

 

Well ebay is my friend. I payed 250 for my exhaust.

 

^^what happened to your oil cap meng!?

 

Took a pic while adding oil

 

Ah yes, feeding the baby

 

....say, do you happen to have the details or your experience as a write up anywhere on the site? that sounds like a smart, efficient, and wise turbo setup!

 

No i really dont man. I kinda wish i did but i was just in a rush to get it on i didnt take many pics. Pm me i cn give you a lil more info dont want to hijack his thread talking about my turbo.

 

Hmmm...with all of this info I might just save up and do a RMT on my '02 Maxima...

 

Interesting!

 

Me and XeroX are gonna do compression checks on our cars before we install.

 

Meh, compression test is not really useful, what difference will it make if you get high or low numbers, ur still going to put on the RMT arent you lol.

 

Haha i guess you can see through me

 

I spent about $300 on silicone couplers/t-bolt clamps.

I was only expecting to spend $200. man them 90*s are expensive!

 

you got 90* silicone hose bends? man you should have gone to discount store and bought radiator hose! 12 bucks and sometimes they come with TWO 90* bends lol.

 

lol but i need transition bends. such as 2.5-2" etc.

 

Just wondering what the progress of this is. Also in for some pics.

 

REPORT!!!!!

 

I dont think he has started yet, he might be waiting for a few items, he also needs to get another flange cuz they sent him wrong one. He wired up part of the wideband i think.

BTW, I did the front mount intercooler piping today for my RMT, but i wont share that lol.

 

Its a SouthFloridaMaximas SW Trade Secret

 

I need to speed up my modding lol. I'll be doing a rmt on my max while I'm saving for my GTR. I finally got my 00vi finished yestarday and in the process of selling my Z. So I'll get there soon.

 

ya mon.

I bought a new flange, it fits. I bought some new screws/bolts to secure everything.

I drilled my oil cap so the oil fittings fit. I bought fuel lines for the oil, I have my oil lines lined up for the install. I finally got some of my couplers. I'm waiting for mandrel bends to arrive as well as the rest of the couplers.

Almost done.

 

nice! cant wait

 

ahem.... wat is the status with this?? :-D

 

I bought more couplers/clamps to finish the install.

Waiting on my exhaust shop to attain the mandrel bends. He bought me my 2" stainless straight pipes however.

 

and the race is on!!!!!

 

.....

 

ugh. you guys

 

LOL! like I said, the race is on

 

So then a Jegs crankcase filter cost me $29 FTMFL!!!!!

 

I bought some nuts and bolts today.

 

Yawn....

 

take a picture of each one individually and post them

 

Dude I suck - my exhaust shop still dont have the mandrel bends - any recommendations on where to buy 2.5 and 3" mandrel bends?
