Ill let it go this time cause you're new, but next time if you wanna tell us something: tell US! Dont just link us to a post you made on a different forum, thats kinda rude-- especially if its just pictures of parts you bought.

Glad you like your IAP kit though, I know for a fact that there are a lot of people here who want to hear how you feel about it.

yeh, i remember that day

So far ive been workin on the project since 6 pm till 2:00 am. We got a lot of work done. We took off the headers and front bumper. We installed the manifold, the Turbo, the up-pipe, the hot pipes and the bov. However we are having issues with 2 things. The up pipe/downpipe that connects from the turbo to the downpipe is pretty much in the way of my brake lines and brake cylinder, as a result in order to fit it on I had to remove 2 brake lines from the mc. This means that either my car is funky, or there is some sort of fitment issue, in other words the pipe is pretty much kissin the brake mc. The other issue is that this same pipe doesnt match the bolts of the megan racing downpipe. The holes on the bottom are too small for the bolts from the downpipe, therefore I will have to use differnet bolts. Thus far these are the only issues ive run into. I will continue installing in the morning. Do you guys have any help, especially with the brake lines and cylinder??? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Florida240sx]

Didn't have any trouble with the brake lines... Yes their downpipe uses small bolts while th emegan racing uses very large ones. Options:Redrill IAP DP to \allow big bolts to be usedUse small bolts and just have washers on the MR side.

DUE TO COLD WEATHER AND RAIN: We haven't done much but we managed to install one of my 300ZX brakes and it clears the wheels that the previous owner of my car had (non-stock). We also managed to loosen the oil pan, since were not gonna do it the IAP way, were going to weld the pan. Also I have to pick up bolts for the oil return flange since I cant find the ones that were suppoused to be in the kit. We also pulled my alternator to get access to the oil pressure unit, which we removed so that the oil feed can be installed. Once the pan is done and the oil feed finished it will be time to reinstall everything back together. I also pulled my fan out..... damn thing was in the way.... im going to install altima fans soon.... plus its cold out anyways so i shouldn't have issues for now. Im also waiting for a silicone intercooler coupler, because the pipes are a bit short with the way I mounted the turbo so the hot pipe doesnt reach the short pipe with the bov. Once all thats done I will still have to bend my brake lines and bleed the system for the Z32 brakes to work.

Nice to see another KA-T born in Chicago plus a fellow Polish-American owner like myself. I actually just got my KA-T running last weekend and hopefully it will be on the road soon so I can enjoy it for a bit before snow hits.

Keep up the good work.

It's still sitting on jack stands, but idles just fine with no leaks. I'll let you guys know how it feels when I drive it this weekend.

Yeah, I know Grzesiek (who doesn't around here).

[ChicagoS14T]

i finally got my oil pan out... my cars on jack stands too... once we finish the oil return we will try to idle it and then if all goes well reassemble the car.

[ChicagoS14T]

MAJOR UPDATES:

KIT IS DONE!!! Car has been started up and idles fine at 900rpm. So far no leaks and no issues to be found. Front end has been reattached (poorly lol) but so far only need to install new brake lines and bleed system before taking out for first test drive!!! - Boost gauge being installed tomorrow as well!! Can't wait to drive her around !!!

[hannibal]

Nice work. Congrats!

[grimple1]

Come pick me up for a ride.

[ChicagoS14T]

we did the brakes but were having power issues ... either battery or alternator cuz the car was started and ran but then lost power and died and when we chartged the battery up a bit worked fine again and then died. So now im charging the battery up all night and hoping to see what happens tomorrow. Getting ready for an alternator replacement job. HOpe we wont have to though
