That car is amazing, I can wait to see when its all cleaned up and tearing up the streets. Amazing work, truely. Where did you get your turbo from, and for how much?

$800 including lines from an individual.

I'm glad you took the cage out. Roll cage in a DD is stupid.

Rear places for passenger are a joke in a S chassis. Why not filling it properly with a roll cage then.

Black is a heat soak.

[redtop91]

Not really. Considering the Koyo Copper radiator is painted black there are exceptions that rule. As long as you get radiator paint I say go for it.

[Katapl]

Well, indeed on the radiator paint.

Then again, most radiators aren't exposed to the sun. Depending on what model your S13 is, expect your IC to be blasted by sunlight.

[Ilvemynissan]

Looks like you did a superb job saving this beauty........they painted the engine bay camo too!?!?!?! WTF

i am about to trade my Tial wastegate plus a s13 digital climate setup that i have for a synapse wastegate.

[White Comet]

^ nice, id love to have dcc though

[karmakaze]

here are some updated pics of my engine bay. i pretty much have everything where it is going to be, i just need to button a few clamps down and get my valve shims in as soon as they get here.

[thenillaz]

The theory is black is supposed to disapate heat from the metal rather that absorb heat from sunlight. People think if they paint the inisde if their intake white they also get slightly cooler air. Don't hold me to this, I just herd the theory on a TV program.

BTW does the start button actually work as a start button?

Of Course! What do you take me for? A ricer? LOLWell, theoretically it should work. The car has not exactly ran yet for me to be able to test it.

[redtop91]

Where do you forsee full boost at with the bore being enlarged?

[White Comet]

im liking the new pics. what type of intake manifold is that?

[qat727]

Looking really good. I'd like to see it in person at some point.

fake greddy

[94_240sx]

[White Comet]

fake greddy

i thought so im considering picking up a fake one as well, any words of advise or warning?

I am not sure, between the added .2L, the Synapsis Synchronic Wastegate, .63ar exhaust housing, wrapped manifold, and everything else I did, I am hoping for it to spool pretty quick for a car making 430-450hp @ 18psi.
