That intake manifold definitely looks great and I want to see the final product.

It looks like it's headed in the right direction.

 

who sells red wrinkle finish spray cans? I tried finding it, and it was next to impossible when I sprayed my valve covers. I ended up using a red gloss engine enamel on my valve covers.

 

i got it at summit racing, pretty inexpensive

 

minor updates to section 1, started working on section 3..... struggling for time, so busy at work!!!!

 

I love this thread.
I also love your license plate.

 

thanks had the plate since 2003 or 2004... it used to be on my 416fwhp pump gas 94 civic... once i sold the civic i transferred the plates to the Z in 2005 or so. people on the road get a kick, i am asked about it regularly at stop lights when i drive the 350z.

 

Subbed for awesomeness!!

 

SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

added more section 1.

fuel system complete pics will be this week... had a damn backorder on some of the -6 fittings. so if all goes as planned, should have section 6 pretty much all done this week.

a backordered -4 fitting for my turbo oil lines will be here wednesday or thursday and i will begin posting in section 2

 

Looking amazing! Charles keep the pics rolling in.

 

finished the fuel system plumbing today, so updated sec6. next week or maybe even this week I will drop the twin pump into the tank and wire it up.

turbo oil line parts are supposed to be here thursday now... once i can do that and start building the turbo section here, the car will be getting very close to being able to start.

 

great thread!

 

SUB

 

minor updates and started section 2....

quite a bit more to take pics of and post within the next few days... been getting quite a bit done.

 

Great update bud.

 

nice updates charles!

I like the idea of putting the MVS wastegates up high. since they are v-band, it makes them easy to get on an off. The old 37mm WGs were tough to get to and had to be removed to get to the tranny off during a clutch swap. I think that's why the "low" WG relocation was so popular......but I would prefer not to have my WGs hanging so low.

 

thanks

just added a pic of the wastegate adapters for putting them back up high.

got a TON done today... finished up all the engine bay wiring and key on'd the car to check everything, since about 90% of the wires in my harness have been cut and shorten, and I wanted to see the throttle body opening and closing on the intake mani lol.

i have the plenum top completely bolted and torqued down, the charge pipes are allllmost all done. tomorrow im putting in the wastegates and downpipes for final install, and i will start working on the wastegate dump tubes.

my new oil cooler is here so I am hoping to mount that maybe over the weekend... because once thats in, i just have to connect some oil lines to it and the car will start.

the last thing ill have to finish are my new coolant pipes, and that will be cake.

ok so im probably forgetting a ton of ****... but either way, massive picture update coming this weekend.

 

Awesome Charles, I can't wait for the pic update.

 

just saw your new wastegate adapters......

did you need to back purge the tubing when you welded it or was the WG v-band flange thick enough that you didn't have to worry about sugaring on the backside of the weld?

 

i didnt weld them, but i can ask the guy who did!
