Outta curiosity, you've spent so much time on the engine bay and this turbo set-up, why not leave yourself some extra room and get a tubular K, give you a little more room in the down pipe, charge cooling, and hot side plumbing areas??? I'm thoroughly impressed as to the design though.

Because I could probably fit a 5 inch downpipe with the stock K member with my setup. The stock K member doesn't interfere with the coldside piping at all. Some day I might get a tubular K member and LCAs because of the the weight savings, but other than weight there was no reason I needed them.

Well put. I was just curious. Sounds like you've got a good grip on what you're doin. Most 19yr olds I know couldn't figure out how to change th plugs on their civic let alone tear into a car as you have. Mad props kid.

It's been a bit since an update, I've been working on the car a lot though. Im paying a buddy of mine to do a little body work the car needed then it's going off to a painter I know mid july to get painted. Im hoping to have it running in a week or 2.

I don't have time to caption all the pics but there all pretty self explanatory so here ya go.

I've got a new project as well, I'm putting a 5.3l in a 73 240z with 13,000 original miles on it. Here's a few pics of it next to m buddies Lt1 swapped 240sx.

I love z cars, it's what I really wanted when I bought my rx7 for a steal of a deal.
