so hot and so clean.

a 240sx that is 1 color is so rare these days......... how sad is that statement.

looks superb.

btw how is it driving w/o p/s?

one of those mirrored Growely rear cam gear plates would set that thing off like no other.

appreciate it everyone, it defiantly has taken time.

Turbonetics t3/t04e, Tial 38mm , with surprisingly enough a ssac manifold

No power steering isnt to bad, Ive got kinda used to it.

.57 and .63 on exhaust. Right now its only running 8 lbs. Im not trying to break anything before the tune. The motor is built though with cp pistons arp headstuds 3 inch downpipe etc. I plan to have it tuned for about 12psi and 18-20 psi .

Where did you get your outlet pipe fab'd at. I've had no local luck finding someone who can make something that will fit - let me know

Think you can get him to make another one, I'd surely be glad to pay him for it.

I'm using the same SSAC manifold, and Turbonetics to4b turbo. I don't see why it wouldn't. Would need it to mate to an sr20 up pipe.

Nice, This is one clean 240sx. I love the MS install. The engine bay is very very neat. are the coils in side? or hidden somewhere?

good work.

Love it!!

And your mounting location for the aftermarket temp sender is genius. I just ordered a new sender so I can ditch the GReddy adapter that never fit right. You rock!
