After

















Big thanks goes out to Steve and my bf robert for all the work and swearing(yeah it comes with the blood)

final cost of FMIC

$30 FMIC from 740 volvo$** nothing old Injen intake pipe$38 project silvia cold pipe$38 project slivia cold pipe$ 4 right angle 2" bend$30 couplers (maybe a bit more, but not much)

next task it to go get it tuned and should be boosting 15PSI with my 444 injectors.......

then some suspension work and get the big dog T28 rebuild.

Looks pretty good! You might wanna research how much boost those IC's can handle. I've always heard that the volvo front mounts can't take much boost because of the plastic end tanks. I don't think it'll handle 15psi.....for very long anyways

Can ca's run safe at 15 psi? Stock internals?

[float_6969]

On mulitple occasions I have maxed out my CA T25, just for S&G's. At about 3Krpm, it WON'T make more than ~17psi. If falls off as the RPMS increase and I don't think I get more than about 12 psi by 7K rpm. It WILL make about 22psi at 2K RPM though!

Man, I have no idea why Nissan put that turbo on the CA.
