  1. They were already on the car when I bought it. All I can tell you is that they're fiberglass.
  2. Still looking for one, not willing to pay ebay prices

  5. Thanks, I believe they are Vitaloni baby turbos..and someone wrapped them in carbon fiber. I put in new door weather striping on the driver side and have to slam the door now to shut it completely which in turn throws off the mirror position so I have to adjust it every time I drive. I'm sure there's a way to tighten it but I haven't gotten around to messing with it yet.
  6. I have to respond to this since I was the only person to say I had a "good running" stock L28ET. If someone is on a budget or plans on having mild hp goals theirs nothing wrong with going with a stock set-up. My car starts right up, idles perfect and accelerates smoothly without a single hiccup. Obviously an aftermarket EMS is king but since I'm the minority here I had to defend my ancient set-up haha. One day I'll go mega squirt..
  7. Yep, danm interweb. The only thing I see keeping me from a long drive is my lack of a 5th gear hah. I think once I get the actual turbo injectors put in then an mbc will be in order. 5 psi is still fun though hehe
  8. Ol' girl got her first wax today. I've been dying to take some pictures outside the garage!
  9. Well went to try and start it today and wouldn't hold idle at all. I decided to unplug the temp sensor and bam started right up. Took it for a drive and the thing ran great. I put about ten miles on it without a single hiccup. Super happy! Here's a little sneak peak at the new IC piping. Got rid of the ebay BOV for a Turbo XS RFL. It's really ******* loud..but in a good way.
  10. I just got my l28e turbo running good. No mega squirt yet..
  11. Yeah you can pick what you want. All vanity plates require an extra fee once a year so yeah.
  12. Yeah me too! As of right now it's got a hard time starting cold. Idle will be hovering around 500 and gas will nearly kill it. If I give it a little gas and build up boost then let off the idle will be normal and will rev freely. When driving it will be smooth for awhile then while building a little boost it will start choking and won't build any boost. The timing has been set, vac reads 10, max boost is 5psi.
  13. Here's the Treadstone intercooler. I couldn't run the pipes as short as I originally wanted but I'm really happy with it. I know what your thinking..it's so small! It's 3" thick and rated for 500hp. I plan on running a very conservative set up and this should be just fine for my goals. Looks very Mad Max
  14. As the title says, I need one good condition factory 81-83 280zx turbo fuel injector. Shoot me a PM Thanks -Adam
  15. Figured now was a good time to replace the old heavy radiator with an aluminum 2 core. While the radiator was out I painted the rad support a low gloss black. Feels good having less gold in there. The rest of the gold will probably stay for awhile, I'm getting used to it. Bling bling
  16. I was reading somewhere that the newer tps was required for proper idle and what not and sure enough it has a different part number. If it doesn't matter oh well at least I have a spare. Apparently the CHTS and CTS will read the same, which is why most people think they can be interchanged. A cts would probably work in the head since it's a dry hole, chts wont work in a wet hole due to the swivel action. As far as the oil pump goes, the last thing I want to do is get the car running good only to blow the motor due to oil starvation. I got the higher flow model just for some piece of mind. Now I'm looking at the injectors which I'm sure are from a 280z. Going to have to buy some injectors now!
  17. Yeah I had to extend it and run it back around. For the record a head temp sensor can't be used in place of a coolant temp sensor. I read multiple times on the web where people claim they can be interchanged. Well they cant, the HTS swivels around and has a small gap where coolant will leak out. I'm glad I noticed a couple drips before I actually started it up. I realized the tps and oil pump are still from a 280z too so I ordered the proper parts. This car would have been so much easier and cheaper to just go back to n/a!
  18. Got the turbo AFM today. Looks a little different than the previous one I'm shocked at how this this was even drivable before. Went to Lowes and found a fitting for my temp sensor. Also been cleaning up the wiring some more. Starting to look decent under the hood finally.
  19. Amazing work, love everything you got going on here
