underground Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 Yesterday, Andy began finishing out the fuel system, which should be done today. Up Next was the Exedy Triple Disc Clutch, special thanks to the team at Exedy for their support over the years. Ran the -12 AN Lines from Desynz Motorsports Oil Return Mod from the back of the head to the oilpan, as seen in the following two photos. Finished the lines to the cooler, so that mission is completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badjuju Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 No, It's the Garrett 2860R-5.....(Direct Bolt-on, with no modification required. Has EXTREMELY similiar specs to the HKS 2530, and is probably the new trend for GTR Turbo Upgrades for the guys that want to stay twin) http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarrett/catelog/Turbochargers/GT28/GT2860R_707160_5.htm The 2860RS is commonly known as the Disco Potato Turbo, and is a different turbo. P.S.- No, I'm far from just the guy that writes the checks (although I do own the car, and yes I do right many check for PARTS, ha!), and i have HUNDREDS of hours wrenching on this car over the past four years. That is truly a work of f*cking art. And all those mag covers? dude, i didn't even get that far in NFS: Underground, lmao keep up the good work, and I'm glad to know that you work on it yourself, too many people do too little with their cars.

underground Posted May 26, 2007 Author Share Posted May 26, 2007 A shot of the finished oil cooler assembly: McKinney Motorsports Race Motor Mount Kit, Tranny Mount, and Driveshaft Everything on the bottom fitted up nice and snug: Step-by-step Photo Guide: Greddy RB26DETT manifold, adapted to run twin-scroll and the Tial Sport 60mm wastegate. The wastegate had to be moved to fit into the 240SX engine bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underground Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 Monday Night, Andy and I worked til 2 a.m. @ Southern Imports to get the motor running. When we attached the AEM EMS ECU, it started first crank with the AEM supplied base map. I was very impressed with how simple the box is to use, and I want to thank Sean Morris for taking my phone call late at night to confirm we had the configurations setup accurately. We still have lots of work left to be done, and these are, by no means, final images. As you can see, there are aftermarket gauge sensors that need to be hooked up. The boost controller is not installed, the intake for the turbo still needs to be ordered, downpipe has not been fabricated, and the upper intercooler piping has not been polished. But the motor runs, and that's a success in itself. Yesterday, I transported the car to Texas, and will be finishing up the car here. Once again, thanks to Andy Vaughn @ Southern Imports in Murfreesboro, TN. He, by himself, built 95% of the car that you are fixing to see. He is a amazing fabricator, engine builder, and friend. Thanks again Andy! Here are the images and the start-up video: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z_478 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Looks really clean maybe its just me but i dont think that video has any sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underground Posted June 21, 2007 Author Share Posted June 21, 2007 We now have everything finished with the motor minus the installation of the new 24x12x4 intercooler that arrived today. I want to thanks Matchless Performance (Addison, TX) for the fabrication of the downpipe, which came out better than I would have ever imagined. The welds are amazing, and extremely clean. Here are the latest images: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underground Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 While I still have the interior to finish off, here are the completed exterior shots. This 240SX has been four years in the making, with 30 corporate sponsors on the stage II build. I want to give a special thanks to Andy Vaughn @ Southern Imports, and Chris Hamilton (tuner) for their work on the vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
