Progress is slow, been repairing a hail damaged saab the old man bought. Bloody cars take up alot of time, i picked up some pipes today , these are for the dump, gate and intake. Just need to learn how to weld or bribe the old man to do it..

It looks straight forward enough and these bends should be pretty close so we'll see how it goes. Atleast this way im learning how to do shit instead of just paying people.

Im considering adding the 3 1/2 inch xforce muffler straight after the cat to have a true 3 1/2 inch system as the hks system has a section of 3inch but obviously it will still make the power goal with 3inch system but the noise factor is unknown without a middle muffler atleast.post-70965-0-50260200-1464770462_thumb.jpg

Some progress on the dump pipe and intake pipes, hopefully the bonnet closes with return flow intercooler pipes. Had an adaptor plate made for the air reg, had to use a spacer to allow room between the dump pipe and wastegate.post-70965-0-71894700-1465723663_thumb.jpgpost-70965-0-42685200-1465724001_thumb.jpgpost-70965-0-30283300-1465724165_thumb.jpgpost-70965-0-22091400-1465723889_thumb.jpg

Attempting to make a cold air intake with the spare hole. Did lots of grinding and now just need to cut segments to make the turns and plumbing.  I know its rough but i no have $$$ for fabricators ???

Probably make no difference but you know, racecar and all that..

Getting closer, fmic is on and trying to create this intake pipe to the throttle body, no idea how close it is to the bonnet.  The cold air intake is very crap lol, will get it done by a pro once the car is tuned etc. Put the oil and coolant lines on turbo, getting a fabricator to weld elbow on the comp cover . Hope to fire it up in next few weeks ?

less back pressure = more power

merge when gases cool down, exhaust gases more condense thus less restriction.. also allows you to run a cat and when you're on noise.. you can bypass the cat :)

Cars not far off, VCT oil feed is an asshole, its in a terrible spot to get plumbing upto.  Have a nice oil/air separator being made to replace the windscreen washer reservoir.

Took the Avcr out of the silver skyline  and its wiring, hopefully the tuner canake sense of the birds nest, its mostly jap wires for the old radio i think, looks like a bitch of a job.

Predicting a fairly angry note of it ?

Well no updates cause cars still sitting at tuners, considering taking it somewhere else.

Anyone had good experiences with other shops around brissy such as Godzilla Motorsport or 101 Motorsport?
