Thanks Cpt. Obvious!

I'm waiting for a guy on the wastegate actuator. I have two but they are rated for 20+ PSI boost. I need a stock Nissan 280 one.

I don't see a problem either.....

The problem I see, is the bottom end of the engine blowing out the oil pan.

Here are a couple more teasers.

Bling bling

I like how this is coming together.

You do good work Joel, and you people that know me know that if there is anything I hate, it's cobbled up fab work. Yours is always awesome!

Your exhaust looks like it might leak some at the seams tho!

Always a wiseass

Thanks for the props. You never know if you'll be able to do something untill you give it a go. Lots of research/reading is always done before hand. I always dive head first into projects then I have no choice but to finish them, even if it takes me a while.

It took me nearly 4 days to figure out the exhaust but took me 2 hours to do the intake pipes.

Exhaust leaks are not a problem but this one will be.

Yeah, looks like you may have a slight drop in PSI at that seam.

Where is the charge cooler?

Not using one. But it will be cake to add one as provisions are already in place.

I'm going to be using fuel to cool the intake charge.

Decided to put the gauge here instead.

Might wanna throw a SOHC oilpan on there, Trevor mentioned something about a stud girdle in the stock pan....

Too late. I'm not pulling the engine again, unless there is something majorly wrong with it. the SOHC are not plentiful in the wreckers here and the wreckers that do have them want $$$$$ to have to split them from a block.
