[ca18detgabby]

just wondering what kind of piping is used......

i am about to start my swap and just wanted to know what kind of piping was used for the stock side mount intercooler.

What do you mean what kind of piping? It's all plastic and rubber if that's what you mean?

Can you clarify that question a little?

My coldpipe is an aluminum one that I got lucky and found on eBay (for kind of a lot), and my hotpipe is cobbled together from some mild steel bends that Sean tacked together for me.



ProjectNissan is having a sale on polished aluminum hotpipes. $38 ain't too bad. All you have to do is get a flange for your BOV, and modify it a little to get it to fit.http://www.projectnissan.com/s...=4273

I run PS stuff (O2 housing, downpipe, test pipe, and t/c rods) and it is really great quality.

i was just wondering if i could put a bov on it or not. I didnt know if it was plastic or alum. So that is why i was asking. I know some people who have plastic that just cut and welded on a peice of alum and then put a bov on...

So yeah i just want to know if i can or cant put a bov on the stock piping..

Yes, you can mount a BOV flange on the stock CA piping. This *metal* pipe comes off the hot side outlet on the turbo:



Based on my non-scientific ruler measurements, it's around 50mm. Buy a 50mm flange, weld it on, done.

Now I bought a pipe with a flange already welded on for my SSQV:



I got it off the forums from ragenasian I believe, and it cost less than buying a flange and welding it on.
