thanks i will search some more, but i am willing to paypal you 20.00 bucks right now for pics of what i need, im not lazy but exhausted of looking and searching.i should have gotten a clip but i found a deal on a tt motor a 5 speed trannie, and then got a super deal on all the conversion parts,tt a/c lines,i/cooler piping,i/c,etc. now i got a box of stuff and im to the point of going back to my 93 5.0 notch back mustang and scrapping this project. ive found pics from courtesy nissan and various other pics but none of them show the stuff actually attached to the car.

the pics posted earlier should help....the pipes should route from the turbo, into the intercooler, then back into the intake mani. The pictures show how they do so. I suggest, connecting the pipes the motor while it's out of the car first, then hooking them up to the intercoolers once the motor's in.

from what i read i thought that i had to put all the intercooler piping in /and mount it first and then put the motor in and then hook up the tranny.is this not correct? you way sounds correct but i dont want to have to pull the motor again if i dont have to. thanks bro

thanks nismopick but that tells me how to install larger intercoolers.maybe um slow or missing something but let me try once again. ive got a 94 300zx na car that i have pulled the motor and 5 speed tranny out of, i am goting to swap in a tt motor and tranny.i have a box full of intercooler plumbing and i dont know how it is routed and where it is attached to the car.i know where the intercoolers go because ive gotten numerous pics of that but i need pics of the plumbing in the car with the motor out and any other pics of how it looks in the engine bay.the diagram above helps but it doesnt show where these pipes are routed and where they are attached to the car.i really appreciate your help and im not trying to be a smart azz just need help

I knew ya wouldn't pay up on that offer. It's really, REALLY not that hard... that link about IC's SHOULD be helpful... you connect the pipes to the turbos, intercoolers, and throttle bodies... all the pics that have been posted should help you see how they go. If you can do an engine swap, piping some IC lines should be child's play. I really don't get what the issue is.

torbu to outside bottom of intercooler other pipe goes form inside up to the corresponding sides intake. it cant be that hard. try to lay it out out side of the car see if it looks like it would fit. its just intercooler piping, it cant be that tuff and you wont be able to screw it up that easily. piece it together and it either looks right or it doesnt. and im sure you can plumb with the motor in. just leave a bunch of other junk out. motor in... plumb intercooling so you have more room but can see if its going well. and then put other parts in. i think your over analyzing the difficulty of intercooler piping. and dont think im beeing mean cuase apparently i come off as some super *** hole to new guys in the Z32 part of the forum soem you know what instance im talking about.

ok, apparently the image tags aren't working....I also found some pics that show how the pipes attach to the car and intercoolers.....kinda. Email me at Emo236e@yahoo.com if you want the pics. The pipes attach to the intercoolers, then go behind the headlights and attach at the upper radiator support. tHe rubber hoses then connect the hardpipes from the intercoolers to the plastic accordian pipes that attach to the turbos and then to the intake mani as well. It's not too difficult once you get in there and get them routed...I suggest doing them with the motor out if you haven't already put the motor in....it'll be pretty much impossible to do them with teh motor in.
