J/k the manifold and downpipe is from xs power too lol. I purchased them from dangishchris from MY.IS

 

nice collection of parts and GL with the build

post pics of the progress if u can

 

I bought a new vis Cf trunk n fitment is great.. Whoever said they suck must of got a crap one or something.. The vis hood fits nice too and they are sooo much lighter.. Cf trunk takes like 1-2 fingers to carry compared to a 1-2 hands to hold the oem one haha.

 

Oh I'm not hating either, I've seen plenty of supras run the kit, I was just interested bc I don't exactly have 10k to go SRT, PFS, etc. I rather piece my kit together, maybe get that xs power kit and swap the turbo for a precision possibly and change small things. Well get that thing on and lets see some results! Also another reason why I don't wanna go big is bc my goals are only 300 - 350 max being a Daily.

 

See me and you are on the same boat. I'm only aiming at 300-350 HP. Dangishchris has the same Turbo as me and he's been daily driving it for quite some time. It runs great too. I'm not posting up my build in the go faster section of my.is because I know ill get flamed for not getting a full kit for 5g's LOL. Anyways ill take as many pics of the installation for you guys...hopefully ill be getting on that soon.

 

!! legit..

 

Good news, I'm probably gonna get the oil pan drilled and tapped This weekend. Stay tuned.

 

Wish I could get something to drill this weekend!

Keep us posted

 

if your going for sleeper then you might want to have your wastegate rerouted to the exhaust because a open dump is going to be loud was crap

 

Only at WOT, my friends is300 isn't rerouted, and it sounds fine. Til he gets on it.

 

Before i show you the pics and progress. I want to let everyone here know that Gabe (Lexguy300) did most of the work you are about to see. He's a super cool guy, and knows what he is doing. I would highly recommend his help to anyone in So Cal who needs help with any kind of mechanic work done. Also, shout out to Dangishchris for referring me to Gabe, helping out with the oil pan, and the entire build, and keeping company on the way to Gabe's.

So it only took about 2 hours to get everything done, which was amazingly fast (excluding the time it took to wait for the sealant to dry).

Engine lifted:




Oil pan out:


Cleaning the residue off the sides/inside


Cleaning done, dont mind the paint scratches:


Hole drilled to -10an, with 3/8 threading:


...And this is why you take off the pan to drill the hole...unless you want this metal catastrophe distributed throughout your engine:




Fits like a glove:


Back to the oil pan, we used this sealant:




back to the top! or bottom, i should say:


We let the sealant set about 2 1/2 hours before putting in the new oil (Mobil 1 synthetic 5w-30). Drove back home for another 2 hours or so, still no leaks now, looks like its sealed up pretty good. And i am not using the barb fitting for the oil drain, it was given to me from an old and dated oil drain/receive xs power kit. as of now its capped off and will be replaced with something more...fitting ha. NOW ON TO TURBOO! stay tuned.

 

so i started the install today. everything went well, didnt get too much done cause i was dicking around a bit. oh well. most of the day was me moving stuff out of the RV access cause the Camaro is in the garage...anyways, here are the pics!

Intake off:


headers off, Chris took them out in like 30 seconds, literally. he should get a reward:




test fitting manifold:




The turbo housing is too big, we need to move those ABS lines outta the way!


jesus...


ah, dreaming. intercooler just belongs there!


and here is the workspace lol:


this turned out good, didnt even mean for it to look like a photoshoot.
