Took me about 3 real days of work.
Could have taken less time, but I was really enjoying the build. Plus there is about a million things that needed to be done for a smooth install.

That is a lot of miles, the reason I am asking is I would like to purchase a 300 and do the same. I was considering a swap, or just turbo on stock motor. I am looking to get about 400hp, that would be my goal. If you have a parts list handy or something of that sort could you pm me. If not that's cool Ill have to keep reading all of these posts which are still very informative, thanks!!!

whats wrong with my intercooler piping?

Dont want to cut open my bumper. Its a nice bumper that never did anything to anyone else.
Not a big fan of painting an FMIC. Regardless of the stealth, placing 1mm of paint (read insulation) on and air to air intercooler decreases the thermal transfer. Doubtful that at my power level (low) I would even see a difference, regardless, not something I want to do.

Secondary O2's will have a simulated signal sent to the ECU (when the damn thing gets here).

This will hopefully keep the ECU from pissing me off.

nothings really wrong with it....the intake piping just looks a tad fugly in my opinion. the build is great and props for doing it so quickly.

paint,powdercoat....you know. it was just a thought. i did it on my civic loved it on the black civic with the black intercooler never knew i was turboed till you heard it spool.

neways congrats on your build man

Nice job! As a new GS300 owner, I certainly would like a little extra power. Unfortunately not too many GS400/430's are around in my area.
