But for the T-bolt clamps go to NAPA if you have one close to you, soooooo much cheaper.

That boost controller is used by many DSM people and they like it so I got it.

That is a 240sx maf adapter, I will let you know if it fits perfectly(they are only like 10 shipped so it will save a bunch of money compared to "maxima specific" ones)

Summit Fuel Pressure Gauge

Walbro GSS342

Bunch of intake pipes

Oil pump!


When I spin it I hear a weird noise? Any ideas?

Wastegate

Bunch of lines. So I didn't know it was going to come with the oil sending plate. I have an extra one now!

Is that a Joe P boost controller? I had pretty much that exact one on my DSM and it worked great. I actually bought the car with it on already and switched it from the "basic" setup on the instructions to a different one that was more stable, although it didn't really spike much anyway at 15 PSI.

If I don't use it for my oil cooler lines. I will let you know

Intercooler is almost installed, I got the mounting holes drilled. Just need to buy shorter bolts and some locking washers. I don't know which way to mount it. Eddy had it so the pipes are on top, streetz has it so the pipes are at the bottom. I think both look fine.

It has started to rain FTL.
Once it stops I need to go buy a 2.5in hole saw so I can drill the holes for the pipes.

So don't let anyone convince you to install an intercooler with the bumper on. What a ****ing pain in the ****ing ***. I have never been so frustrated drilling a damn hole. I will get a pic later today or tomorrow. I am pretty tired and cut up from the drill jamming when I was drilling the 2.5" holes for the pipes.

Looks pretty good i guess. I am gonna try to polish it up more before the final install.

So my exhaust guy had lasic done a few days ago and he said he can't look at any bright lights till next week! So he can't weld anything this week. I might check out the other guy in town but I don't really like them.

I couldn't get the giant C-Clip on ****ing that pos. I even bought NEW channel pliers since I couldn't find the c-clip pliers. Wasted 2 hours then I went to the local truck shop and they did it in 5 min and charged 5 dolla! Awesome!

Got the oil pump mounted in. Tomorrow should be fun running the pipes. Hopefully I have time to run the oil lines too. On Thursday I plan to wire up the pump and hopefully the gauges are here by then so I can do those too!

So ima have to take my turbo back to the truck shop so I can get that c-clip put back on lol. I had the turbo oil lines upside down lol. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Anyways...







Rubicon test!


I am going to add an exhaust hanger to that coupler area and weld it near where the control arm bolts to the sub frame.

I need to bang up the floor about another .5in . My pops had a THICK *** pipe 2.5in pipe that I used to make a groove. Once I raise it more I can bolt on the SFC's again. I want to utilize the SFC x-bracing so that in case it is going to scrape it will hit the x-bracing instead of the charge piping.

Also, you cannot tell inside the car at all that I messed with the floor. It might be because all the padding I added when I put in the new carpet.

It is starting to rain so I called it quits for today
