I wish I was local still...I'd come up and weld anything you needed, just to see your ride in action dude.

**Kevlo911** · 07-29-2009, 12:52 PM

Should be buying bov, afpr, boost controller, map sensor(i have gm I need to get rid of if anyone wants it) and gauges this week.

Then strait to 7 psi by the end of Aug. Should be fun.

I got most of mine from
http://www.intakehoses.com/
But for the T-bolt clamps go to NAPA if you have one close to you, soooooo much cheaper.

**Kevlo911** · 07-31-2009, 02:27 PM

dfownz · 07-31-2009, 03:54 PM

Good tip on those T-clamps!!!!!!!!!!!

**Kevlo911** · 08-03-2009, 06:34 PM

Gauges and FPR ordered

Over budget so someone buy some tails!!!!!!

streetzlegend · 08-03-2009, 09:01 PM

ya intakehoses is a good affordable place, I believe I ordered my reducers and couple of couplers from there. or, siliconeintakes.com is another great source!

**Kevlo911** · 08-06-2009, 09:15 PM

Everything has been ordered. Now it is time to have some fun. Starts sat

*XeroX* · 08-07-2009, 12:02 AM

SWEET!!! lets get the bawl rollin with the pix yo!

Am i the only one with the treadstone bawler couplers?

**Kevlo911** · 08-08-2009, 05:21 PM

Best filter in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amsoil doesn't make a breather filter that fits otherwise I would have theirs

So like it seems I don't have to adjust this bov!!!!!

**Kevlo911** · 08-08-2009, 05:23 PM

That boost controller is used by many DSM people and they like it so I got it.

That is a 240sx maf adapter, I will let you know if it fits perfectly(they are only like 10 shipped so it will save a bunch of money compared to "maxima specific" ones)

Summit Fuel Pressure Gauge

Walbro GSS342

Bunch of intake pipes

**Kevlo911** · 08-08-2009, 05:25 PM

Oil pump!

When I spin it I hear a weird noise? Any ideas?

Wastegate

Bunch of lines. So I didn't know it was going to come with the oil sending plate. I have an extra one now!

**Kevlo911** · 08-08-2009, 05:27 PM

This goes on tomorrow
It is not too big so I am pretty sure I can mount this w/o removing my bumper(I can't anyways so I will have to figure it out)

*Tatanko* · 08-08-2009, 05:38 PM

Is that a Joe P boost controller? I had pretty much that exact one on my DSM and it worked great. I actually bought the car with it on already and switched it from the "basic" setup on the instructions to a different one that was more stable, although it didn't really spike much anyway at 15 PSI.

**Kevlo911** · 08-08-2009, 05:47 PM

It is a NXS Performance one. Dudes name is Phil I think

kzoosho · 08-08-2009, 05:54 PM

sell me the sandwich plate kevlo.

**Kevlo911** · 08-09-2009, 11:54 AM

If I don't use it for my oil cooler lines. I will let you know

Intercooler is almost installed, I got the mounting holes drilled. Just need to buy shorter bolts and some locking washers. I don't know which way to mount it. Eddy had it so the pipes are on top, streetz has it so the pipes are at the bottom. I think both look fine.

It has started to rain FTL.
Once it stops I need to go buy a 2.5in hole saw so I can drill the holes for the pipes.

**Kevlo911** · 08-09-2009, 04:43 PM

So don't let anyone convince you to install an intercooler with the bumper on. What a ****ing pain in the ****ing ***. I have never been so frustrated drilling a damn hole. I will get a pic later today or tomorrow. I am pretty tired and cut up from the drill jamming when I was drilling the 2.5" holes for the pipes.

Looks pretty good i guess. I am gonna try to polish it up more before the final install.

**Kevlo911** · 08-09-2009, 05:41 PM

I dont wanna **** **** bout the lip. mmmmmkay

Also my dremel bit broke so I couldn't finish the left side(look how nice the cut is on the right

streetzlegend · 08-09-2009, 05:42 PM

yo lip is cracked son! lol

kzoosho · 08-09-2009, 05:43 PM

Wheres the grill at kev?

**Kevlo911** · 08-09-2009, 05:50 PM

In the trunk. Didn't wanna put it back on since ima work on it in the morning

**Kevlo911** · 08-10-2009, 09:24 AM

So my exhaust guy had lasic done a few days ago and he said he can't look at any bright lights till next week! So he can't weld anything this week. I might check out the other guy in town but I don't really like them.

kzoosho · 08-10-2009, 10:35 AM

booo. I need to get a helmet when i weld so i dont need lasic lol.

**Kevlo911** · 08-10-2009, 11:19 AM

Haha. I think ima just wait it out. I will prob mount all the other pipes, run the oil lines, mount the oil pump/wire it up, and the other things... I will do all that this week and then next week get the welding done.

kzoosho · 08-10-2009, 11:26 AM

Um dont hook the oil lines and stuff up just yet. i would wait till you have the turbo welded on. Thats if you are driving it to the shop.

**Kevlo911** · 08-10-2009, 11:58 AM

I meant run them so they are ready to hook up

**Kevlo911** · 08-11-2009, 04:19 PM

I couldn't get the giant C-Clip on ****ing that pos. I even bought NEW channel pliers since I couldn't find the c-clip pliers. Wasted 2 hours then I went to the local truck shop and they did it in 5 min and charged 5 dolla! Awesome!

Got the oil pump mounted in. Tomorrow should be fun running the pipes. Hopefully I have time to run the oil lines too. On Thursday I plan to wire up the pump and hopefully the gauges are here by then so I can do those too!

kzoosho · 08-11-2009, 04:50 PM

O so you had fun with the c clip too lolz. Took me a hour in a auto zone breaking tons of their **** lol.

**Kevlo911** · 08-11-2009, 04:54 PM

Yea man **** is hard as ****, I read that some other Holsets have a vband style holding the housing! That would have been so much easier.

kzoosho · 08-11-2009, 05:13 PM

thats what i have on my hx52

*XeroX* · 08-12-2009, 11:58 AM

Great to c some progress

keep it up

**Kevlo911** · 08-12-2009, 01:22 PM

So ima have to take my turbo back to the truck shop so I can get that c-clip put back on lol. I had the turbo oil lines upside down lol. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Anyways...

Rubicon test!

I am going to add an exhaust hanger to that coupler area and weld it near where the control arm bolts to the sub frame.

I need to bang up the floor about another .5in . My pops had a THICK *** pipe 2.5in pipe that I used to make a groove. Once I raise it more I can bolt on the SFC's again. I want to utilize the SFC x-bracing so that in case it is going to scrape it will hit the x-bracing instead of the charge piping.

Also, you cannot tell inside the car at all that I messed with the floor. It might be because all the padding I added when I put in the new carpet.

It is starting to rain so I called it quits for today
