3 minute(s) of a 462 minute read

so, a few days ago i ordered a wally. and it got here in no time..

removing and installing this was actually a snap and actually enjoyable. But heres a side by side with the stock v8 one.

and for when i feel like running a 12v mod and when i don't

hopefully this keeps both sides of the isle happy.

so, been a while, this 3 car **** is very time consuming. alright let's begin.

so tackling one of the most difficult and still ongoing projects of this swap. the damn exhaust. i got a 240sx one and planned to hack it up to make it work. 

i was happy with the results i gotten on my own 240 i wanted to mimic the non raspy serious tone i was going to get on my 1j. This was a cluster ****. luckily my buddy matt is an expert welder. so i coin this a "matt-exhaust"

the jackstands

took about 2 weekends and finally he/we got something that resembles a complete exhaust.

the end result was good. but since then weve had to revise the pipe after the dp and iam probably going to have to go to the exhaust shop for a finalk tweek. But all in all the exhuast i wound up going open dump. and full 3". has a good tone and sounds excellent when you get on it.

LEAN BACK!!!

so trying to figure out why the hell my car was leaning bad(like 21afr) in idle??

after some deliberation. i decided id check the turbo gasket, for a leak.

well dosen't look like a problem there.

let's "try" to adjust the cas.

nope, how about checking for vacuam leaks??
