npr diesel intercooler
gonna get them to fab up the intercooler piping for me.
Maybe I can mass produce them for you guys on zdriver, if there is an intrest.
I probably will get them to replcate jeffp's downpipe, possibly mass produce them, he ain't gotta paten...if there is an intrest. [witha slight difference]not the klunky knuckles, and sell them to you guys for a decent price....I believe that I can sell them,
for a whole lot less than I paid for mine. [ebay] I got ripped at 650. I talked to jeffp on phone...he laughed at me about buying it and he thought it was funny that I so much for what I wanted...
You know they could be built with out the klunky knuckle flanges his has...lol.
3" exhaust all the way. the link...http://www.angelfire.com/extreme/280zxt/page11.html

yep
and a lot of the other pieces that you see if you click the link...it is the best you can buy, right now.. If I can generate intrest, I believe that I can manufacture them for less. I got everything to the rear axle....gotta add a muffler and tipsl

Yeah... I built my 2.5" mandrel downpipe for about $50... then had enough left over to make another & sold it on ebay for $35.
A 3" is overkill for a stock turbo.
Jeff P? Because he's a maniac and quite a skilled mechanic / engineer.

I don't think those will fit the s130's, unless you cut some of the floor board. I wanted to buy one too, but I was told I would have to do some cutting/welding and it might get it the way of the petals.

If you get the MSA downpipe you may need to drill out the mounting stud holes larger. My pipe would not fit on the turbo until I drilled the holes larger.
Oh I also broke my original ZXT oil cooler. So I ended up buying a new one at summit, with fittings for stainless braided line, I also got M18x1.5 Male to Male adapters then 45* AN fittings to get rid of the big goffy banjo bolts and run the Stainless braided line. Expensive, but looks way better and was alot easier than trying to run those old massive pre-bent hoses. I stood in line for like an hour at Summit talking to these guys while the one guy told me about 80 times that I couldn't replace the old Banjo bolt. He apparently didn't understand what I was trying to do.

I'm not and have the "loop" plugged off on my F54.
Just wondering how you looped the turbo coolant into the system and where, I guess you could join it to the IAC or whatever if you are on a somewhat stock setup, but I got rid of everything I could have >_o
I've got an extra Z31 T3 that I don't know what to do with...
