GrayZee Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Ok, it's not finished yet, but the turbo exhaust manifold is finished enough to bolt the turbo on. So I thought I'd post a few pics for you guys to see the progress. The engine bay is pretty cluttered, I'll clean it up as much as I can but it is pretty "busy" in there. You can also see the pipes laid out suggesting where the DP will be. http://members.shaw.ca/icecube/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Yeah! That's looking really good bud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrayZee Posted April 2, 2005 Author Share Posted April 2, 2005 Thanks Drax, when I talked about this swap before everyone was anxious to see pics.. Now that I finally posted some, I only get one reply? Oh well.. I finished the downpipe, here are some more pics for those that are interested. http://members.shaw.ca/icecube/103-0331_IMG.JPG http://members.shaw.ca/icecube/103-0332_IMG.JPG http://members.shaw.ca/icecube/103-0333_IMG.JPG I still have to make it wrap underneath the steering shaft and a bit of the inner fenderwell will need to be trimmed. It'll be a tight couple of turns to get it around the frame but with my crossover pipe going under the tranny, there isn't anyplace else to put it.

datsunlover Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 Man, that is awesome! Looking good, cant wait to see it finished! I'm thinking about pulling a 'copy cat' (maybe) and doing something similar in my 93 king cab 4x4... 277 thou on her, and it's had a hard life (previous owner worked construction, I drive it pretty hard) but it's still a good truck. I figure for the $2000 I have into it, I'm doing ok. Consider the trany is getting worn, the u-joints need replacing and if the engine blows, (which may happen soon.. ) I'd be looking at at least $2000 anyway to 'fix her up'.. I know where there are a few 300zx turbos, rotten but running.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrayZee Posted April 2, 2005 Author Share Posted April 2, 2005 Ha ha.. my truck has 470,000km on it. The original engine still ran fine when I pulled it out last December. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cody 82 ZXT Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 Thats cool. Looks like you've certainly spent some time on fabrication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrayZee Posted April 2, 2005 Author Share Posted April 2, 2005 very cool....i'd rather try a remote mount in the rear and keep my a/c....please keep posting updates. Well that was never a issue for me as my Pathfinder never did have A/C in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
