Hey this is my 96 Nissan 240sx, i have sunk alot of time into this car, it has been about a 2 year project up to this point and i still have quite a bit of stuff to do to it before i am done. The Car was Bone stock when i bought it. This is my second 240sx, my first one is the 92 thats in my "garage" but is long gone as i blew the engine in it, got mad and sold the car as a shell....hence why i got this one and started building it right from the ground-up.
****494 RWHP****
**400TQ**
Out with the old and busted
Peak Boost Manifold
Dont ask me why but i fought with turbo lines forever....should of put them on before dropping it in haha
Building some custom intercooler piping
Custom built wastegate dump out of stainlesssssss
needed a 90 off the bottom of the turbo
little battery relocation for the boys
Pulling my car to the shop to get wiring done...thats my old truck (04 chevy duramax)
Craiger welding up come intercooler brackets
Got some new steel braided fuel lines
had the turbo out to re-do the down pipe flange gasket and screwed in a barbed fitting into the intake pipe for the catch can and painted it black :D
My apexi exhaust off my old S13 didnt quite fit so got anothony to help me make it fit
Wiring in the Autronic Sm4 engine management
Custom plate i rigged up for the boost and wideband gauges
New catch can set up which was my winter project, along with heat wrapping the down pipe and pretty much any line that was remotely close to the turbo or manifold :D
PReeeetttttty much the finished engine bay product
Front lip needs to be painted bad, laziness takes over

Oil press and watertemp in the pod, Boost and A/F under Cdplayer
As for the Batt relocate i want to paint my trunk flat black and clean it up a bit still...

Still Have to get it all finished up and tuned.... aiming for that 400+ Wheel HP mark.....
****UPDATE**** Car put down 494 rwhp and 400 tq @6500rpm and 18psi of boost
stock coil packs were breaking up in the higher rpm range....so i will have to turn it down untill i can get some Splitfire coils on there.
