Thanks !

Just picked up my midpipe from a fellow supra buddy.



Actually probably one of my more prized parts im proud to now own. Even though its the only used part the car is going to have on it... HKS is always good enough used or new.

I have ebay exhaust on my s13 from turbo back and its actually really good quality. its all CX racing and those pipes are so tough its crazy.... was drilling a hole to install an O2 bung and it took forever because that pipe was so thick and strong it destroyed 2 bits in the process.  

Just had a really good deal on this pipe and hes being a good friend and letting me wait on paying him till i can afford it.  

Now im sort of looking for some 3" pipe to attempt to make a downpipe. I would typically just buy a down pipe.. but all the down pipes im finding are slightly clocked because most single turbo top mount manifolds have the turbo slightly facing to the side instead of straight forward. My turbo faces straight forward and im gonna have to either get the pipe custom made or just modify the downpipe i could buy.

So initially i bought an intercooler that was only a 25", initially i thought that was the measurement of the core not from end to end. So i got it here and it was wayyy to small. My s13 has a 30" intercooler on it, so i figured id exchange them and the smaller one of the 240sx is fine it doesnt look bad.

Anyways this is the inter cooler ill be using, its a 30x12x3" .

OIm saving up next to buy either the exaust pipe material or ic piping. I can agford the exhaust right now so i may go ahead and buy the materials and go to the local exhaust shop to hopfully have something fabbed !

Still need:

Exhaust
ic piping
Boost gauge
Oil feed/return lines and flanges
Engine management
Clutch
Wideband
Bov
And a couple ither minor stuff and i will be able to actually post the build installations and maybe videos in between.

Sorry its been a slow build just being jobless always makes it take a bit. Excited though !
