downpipe

manifold

[WDRacing]

Odd place for the O2 sensor, or is that your EGT?? Looks nice though...You might want to put in some cuts inbetween the exhaust runners. So the manifold can expand and retract. I've seen alot crack without some room to expand. It may take awhile, but it will.

Looks great! How much of your front bumper did you have to cut to get that intercooler to fit. I've been looking at mine, and it looks like if you don't cut any of it, you can only fit a tiny intercooler.

kkk k27 turbo?What made you pick this turbo? Is that the turbo from a porsche 911?How does the k27 compare to a T3/T4 turbo?just cuirous...

[wanabe240esx]

very nice setup, ill be looking out for a big front mount on a 240

if you'll excuse me i have to go cry because i dont have one

EDIT: holy crap is that downpipe all you have for an exhaust!! sweet

One more EDIT: where does the w/g go to?

the bolt holes on the dp line up with the turbine outlet, i get that

[1LoSX]

hey looks good - wondering what is the next stage of the project

[ziggy682]

Just wondering how you like that JGS intercooler. Is that one of their Starion style intercoolers? I'm thinking of getting one for my setup, but I was just wondering about the quality and fitment.

the K27 is a big turbo its the 911 turbo upgrade, also its suspose to be bigger then a t4 or about the same size, i was going to get a KKK turbo but im kinda leaning towards the IHI turbos now

[cdigity]

what you guys see is the end results of the first day of fabricating. wastegate still has to be plumbed into downpipe. fuel pump and f.m.u. still have to go in. the down pipe actually is welded into the rear half of the factory one that bolts right up to the cat in its stock location(when i get home il will post those pics)will also post more pics as i go along. it should be done by this weekend. Oh yea, the front bumper was not cut and the lip spoiler wasnt on in the pics. it actually hides the bottom edge from view. Thanks for all the response!

more to come

[stunt_driver]

did you get the starion style intercooler from jgs or did you get them to make you a custom one???

[cdigity]

the intercooler is from JGS, its the starion style

[Bill]

what kind of stainless is the down pipe made out of? Thanks

[cdigity]

the downpipe is regular exhaust steel stock. I still have to get that and the manifold thermal coated. All other pipes will be powder coated.

I should have more pics to post of the progress in the next day or so.

[dreamsOfSkylines]

where did you get the kkk from, a porshe dealership? I know konig used them in their twin turbo F50 but they don't seem to be readily available to most tuners.

[stunt_driver]

blitz uses you can get the turbos from them also ebay is a place you can get them also, i bet the k27 he got was the one off of ebay i saw like a couple weeks ago for like $625???

[cdigity]

ive actually had the turbo for about 6 months

i got it from my friend who's helping with the turbo project

he was gonna use it in his twin cam SR5 but decided it was a

little big. so he's using a calloway turbo instead and gave me that

one.

[cdigity]

here's the finished downpipe

[sil80drifter]

ok which one is o2 sensor, the one on the DP or ont he mani?

sil80

[sil80drifter]

where in CT? I'm in the Hartford area

sil80

[cdigity]

the one on the manifold is what was on the stock manifold

and the one on the down pipe is in the stock location.

im from the new haven area. thats where my shop is too.

[stunt_driver]

how much did you get the FMIC for??

[cdigity]

the intercooler was $325 from jgs

[ziggy682]

the intercooler was $325 from jgs

How did you get it for $325, their website says $399. Was it a sale, or can you still get them for that price?

[stunt_driver]

did you get the STR450 or STR 580??? cause the price you got it for was really cheap did you also get the piping from them????

[cdigity]

its the str450. it was the last one of the old style.

the new ones are a little bigger.

intercooler piping kit and couplers are from them too.

my shop is set up wholesale with them.

[stunt_driver]

hehe you think you can get me the same intercooler and piping for the same price???
