nice booztd, I see you go the intercooler piping done....looks excellent. What do you think of that xs power intercooler? Is it really that much heavier than any other 12x24x4 intercooler?

Might wanna brush up on your Z32 skillz a little bit.......those are the foglight buckets.......the air guides were ditched a while ago

Rgarding the FMIC, for 150 shipped, I dont think you can really beat this IC. If I get it all together and I start blowing holes in the thing, I cant really complain

52lbs.. maybe if you fill it with rocks. My brother's got one as well.. they don't weigh much.

I guess Eric (XS Engineering) is just exagerating because he's so pissed off with XS power.

That's what I figured but I never had one.

A lot of you've already seen it, but here is Me and Team Lopez's 240sx engine bay in our S-13.



Going to run this for a while before we tear down and rebuild.

It definately doesnt weigh more than 50 pounds, I'd say somewhere under 40 for sure. Regarding its weight in comparison to other FMIC's, I dont see a big difference. I once had to package and ship a "REAL" Greddy 3-Row for a friend and I know it weighed just as much

not at all. although the comp housing is almost touching the valve cover but thats no big deal. i'm going to add a couple of braces and a flex section in the down pipe to help alleviate the possibility of cracking.

Mild cams, 1.5mm head gasket, GT3540 and the rest you can see in the pics.RB25 rod is same as GTR, piston is very similar also.Comes down to the tune. We have a few RBs running over 550hp at wheels on std blocks for quite some time.. have yet to have one expire

This engine did break an oil pump however.. sustained 9200rpm on a short drive will do that Rest of it internally was mint.

That built RB25 looked sick on the track and the R33 two posts up is very attractive as well. You guys are lucky for living where you do... I'd rather be in NZ the Japan though that's for sure.
