update! still editing picts

Update!!! its been a while since i did a update on this thread so here we go.

I now have a T3 setup 90% complete with a modded Corksport downpipe now with a V-band flange. I have redone my radiator core support to fit a full size radiator with the T3 setup, right now its just cut up but its getting a tubular structure to save on space. Once the core support is done the exhaust will be extended cause its from a 323 GTR and the sedan is longer.

Ive changed my wheels to BBS 16x7.5 but I will be changing them again soon.
And she will be getting a paint job next month so no more flat black. She will be a dark plum/ marroon color so it looks black at night.

Im making the lower core support out of square tubing and we are going to make a tubular bumper support also cause I want to protect my investment.

looks good, do the lights and grill fit still, i have ran into this problem with space a few times know with diffrent turbo set-ups on my bg's.

is that a ebay manifold?

[TurboProto]

Yea its a ebay manifold that has been reinforced. Im also making a bracket to support the turbo from the bottom.

hope your going to rebuild that support

[TurboProto]

Yea its going to get fully reinforced with chromoly tubing. And a custom bumper support will be made also to fit under the 3 hole jdm bumper.

Here's some picts of what ive done this week. First I wired up a digital climate control from a 96 Nissan 240sx (s14). I only wired it up to turn the heater fan on and off and no temp adjustments. I did it this way cause im not going to run A/C and only need a heater during the winter time and because the digital climate control had a million wires and a dozen sensors to make it function properly. 2nd thing i did was I changed the fmic to a one sided intercooler to make it easier to pipe it up for my T3 setup. I didnt realize that the downpipe would be so close to the i/c pipe thats why I changed the direction.

vband downpipe ftw

[TurboProto]

vband downpipe ftw

Yea I was suprised that the corksport downpipe still fits under the oilpan. It stops right at the back of the oilpan so im going to extend it to match up to my 3" exhaust.
This next week im pulling the motor to spot weld the engine bay and to fab the new core support. Then rhino line the engine bay. Then next month she gets a paint job!
