turbo time... *pics (looking for parts still)

my time has come, i pulled the motor on my 87 for a new oil pump and as luck would have it the driver-side manifold is cracked, so on with the turbo!! (pics coming soon)

parts i need still..
1. 87+ turbo ECU
2. turbo oil feed line
3. stock metal coolant lines
its still in the crude stages of prep, but it should be put back together as soon as i can get the parts..

Looks just like the 280zxt oil cooler. They aren't all that big. Lookie at these:



Just hook it up w/ the stock lines.

thats the problem, i had to cut the lines to get it out, but if i can get the oil filte block i could just use some braided SS line i have laying around, when i compare them i dont use size, i use the fact that a cooler with denser fins wont alow air to pass through as easily, but it seems that once again nissan did its homework when they designed it.

WTF... you cut the lines??? Why didn't you just remove them properly by unscrewing the connections?

because it was only the short line lines that go from the edge of fender well to the oil cooler.

That doesn't really explain why you cut them instead of unscrewing them...
