idk manifold chris looks like a ebay type.
im not really looking to trade for anything i have a very specific setup in mind just need moneys as of now. ill sell it to any of you guys for 200 just turbo or 250 with header.

homeslice 300whp is fine as of now i doubt ill even hit that lol

dubsuck got my car into a friends heated garage/shop today started tearing down your shocks should be sent out soon.

ps any of you guys know any good companies for stainless hose swivel ends? other then earls, aeromotive, and russell? so far im leaning towards russell nylon lines and black/silver ends but i want to see what else there is out there. Also need a decent an fitting fpr someone got one they wanna sell or trade for my turbo lol.

[Razi]

I duno where you can get swivel ends. :\

Does anyone know where I can find a cheap oil cooler?
It doesn't need to be huge, and it needs to have 3/8" push on fittings (like our small coolant lines, or fuel lines).

[brizanden]

fc rx7 go pull one out of a junkyard.

[Razi]

Meh don't want used.
And those are super long aren't they?

[brizanden]

no a little shorter then the rad. but not very tall i like the dimensions.
if it works for the oil hungry fcs i figure itll work for a 240 lol. i was gonna use one but im just gonna buy a setrab i think now
imo if your going cheap get something nice used then. cheap new s*** is junk

[homeslicej2]

Razi, look around on Summit. I'm sure you can find what you need at a good price. If you're not going to run a thermostatically controlled unit, you need to buy a small cooler. Really, you should get a thermostat, a good oil temp gauge too, run the small cooler, see what you're running temps are and adjust cooler size from there. But, if you're not going to get the thermo, at least get the gauge so you can assure you're not running your oil too cold. Cold oil doesn't lubricate as well and will kill your bearings. Briz, I mis-read your earlier post and thought you said you were going to try for 350whp. I see now that you typed, the turbo was good for the KA UNLESS you wanted 350whp.

[Razi]

Oh, I wasn't gonna install it on my oil line.

I wanted to install it on my turbo's waterline to try and keep things a bit cooler.

I'll look on Summit fo sho!

I'm wondering though, if I should use a tube and fin design or the plate types.
I'd imagine the tube and fin design is less of a restriction, but I'm not sure how big of a one I need to have efficient cooling.

[homeslicej2]

Oh! I remember you talking about that awhile back. Well, look at their power steering coolers too. I've seen some of those that might be more suited to the task.

[Razi]

Fo sho.

I've looked at the transmission coolers too, but a lot of em are made to be ziptied to the radiator, so I'm gonna keep looking.

[brizanden]

how bout a p/s cooler off a 350z

[Razi]

I guess as long as it's clean inside it's okay.

One reason I don't want a junkyard cooler is cause of the gunk inside.

[Chris28]

I'm using the stock oil cooler from a mkIII supra as a PS cooler, I just made sure to clean the inside out really well.

I put new wheels on today! 16x8 -10 with a 205/50, I had to adjust the camber some put it's still right around -2.

[Frank E Bones]

More pics nao!!!

[Chris28]

I'm washing my car on Friday so I'll get better pictars then. I'll probably end up pulling the camber in in a little more, it doesn't currently rub but you can still see the tread block when looking directly down on the tire. I'll also probably lower it a little more, I just need to figure out how to since my coilovers are siezed

[Frank E Bones]

Iz Niice

[Razi]

LOL @ Keyboard cat.

I like the new wheels dude!

Mix ATF and Acetone 50/50, I heard those are fantastic for loosening seized stuff.

[Chris28]

Thanks FEB!

Haha Keyboard Cat rules. I like them too, I can't wait to get the rest of my exterior together. I picked up a pignose front with a lip and jdm chuki side skirts, now I just need some sort of rear valance. Paint is also coming soon

[Frank E Bones]

Cant wait to see this shiz come together yo. When is the two-tone paint happening?

Paint is also coming soon

Reading owns me

[Razi]

[Chris28]

If any of you fools see some type x rear valances for sale for like less than $150, lemme know! Better yet find me a G-Grow rear lip for less than $200 and you'll be my hero!

[Razi]

Fo sho!

[Chris28]

This also happened yesterday while I was installing my wheels. Marco put his 16x9 Starion wheels on, he's spent like 2 months polishing the wheels and painting the centers. It looks sickkkk

[spooled240]

very clean, i'm diggin the wingless hatch also

[DubsSuck]

clean indeed.. makes me wish my car wasn't so fugly.
so, Im pretty sure i want to move to Tucson.
I want to see what it would take to get my car freight shipped there.

[homeslicej2]

Nice Chris. Beats the sunken look on my 240, but you're not going to have much traction on those pizza cutter tires lol. Razi, you can have an oil cooler cleaned at a machine or radiator shop for cheap. I mean, most machine shops around here only charge $50-75 for hot tanking an entire engine block.

[Chris28]

Haha yeah, traction shouldn't be an issue since I'm n/a right now, but later on down the road it definitely will be. I plan on getting the XXR's that josh posted and putting 245/40's on them at some point down the road, these are just temporary look good wheels haha. I ordered new bearings for my front 5 lug hubs today, once I get some spacers and have the new bearings pressed in I'll go 5 lug up front and finally have a matching set of wheels!
