240hoke Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Hey guys, Well after an interesting day my motor is finally sitting in the car. Ive run into quote a few snags and there is alot of work left but she is getting there. Little info on what you see: JE Pistons -- Forged and coated Nismo 1mm metal headgasket ARP head studs Rebuilt/Stock everything else. t3.t4. stg 5 .82 a/r (my weakest link) ford internal wg with 1.25" housing The intercooler is a knockoff "XS power" unit i purchased from SSautochrome. After recieving it I am very happy with the quaility, nice welds and a good bar and plate design. i got it off ebay for 180 bucks it is 24x12x4". This was a litle big for the z front end, So i purchased some mandrel aluminum pipe, sawed off the spouts and made new inlet and oulets that would clear the hood hinges/springs etc. Anyway Hope you enjoy! Ill have more updates soon. Car should be on the road in a couple weeks. Mods please feel free to move to turbo section if need be. -Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
