gorgeous Z btw, Im really jealous

 

You need more than that. Getting piping for the intercooler. Silicone couplers. Injectors. Wide band. Possible fuel rail change and fuel pressure regulator. And a boost controller. And that head gasket probably lwont last so a mls headgasket and arp head studs. that's a lot more in supporting mods you'll need to make the power you want and being able to tune.

 

Yea tuning is definitely gonna be a struggle, i might need to seek professional help on that one.

Also, at what point should I replace the head gasket?

 

Thanks!Here`s a pic of my engine bay.
For 300HP+ your sure to spend some$$,but well worth it!

 

Keep those coming!

 

OK! I`ll keep `em coming. Here`s another shot of the engine bay:
I put the ic piping in front of the ic. Did a little fabbing on the ic openings.All my pipping is to one side of the car.

There are other ways to route your ic piping, i just choose this way for a different look.You need to work with it(IC). You can also mount the IC up side down and might not even need to fab the opening.These NPR INTERCOOLER do have the opening angled upward and needs to modded.

 

did you do all this work yourself??

 

Did all the cutting and tacking and a friend finished the welding.One thing is for sure these NPR intercoolers are of thick aluminum, so if your going to cut be prepare.

 

Nice setup. Couple of questions - is that your external wastegate setup where the EGR use to be? Any pictures of that setup out of the car?

Also what's the big long plastic box over the fuel rail? Cable tray?

 

Lol true but if you are going RB26 then you'll still be making less than a modified L28 so you're going to have to modify the RB26.... It's the whole modified car thing - you can't compare apples to rodents lol. I'm a hardcore Nissan fan and I really don't like swaping something that didn't come out of a Nissan but if I was going down the RB road I think I'd go with a 2JZ instead.... sorry but it's a better engine as much as I hate to admit it

I think I would go with a Holset instead of the T3/T4. They both spool about the same and provide similar boost under similar conditions but the Holset is more efficient and you can grow with it (better map and can handle the harsher conditions build more boost, etc). They are also cheap - around $250 used in good condition. The only thing I'm not sure of is if they will fit in the S130....

 

If you look closely at the end of the intake where the EGR would usually be it`s cut off.Wastegate connects straight to the down pipe and down pipe straight to the 3``exhaust pipe. Cable tray ... i guess you can call it that. It`s something i found laying around the old junkyard for 5.00 and put it into good use.

 

All the holset turbos im finding are around $500-$1000 but thats brand new, Have you used one on an l28 before?
