WOAH

[ColinR33]

So I got my new turbos cleaned up and transferred over the oil and coolant lines:

And picked up my rocker covers and headers/elbows from powdercoating/ceramicoating:





So will clean up the bay and re-installing! Wanted to do the turbos too, but don't have gasket sets and didn't feel like taken them apart, budget for this year is used up too. Maybe next year...

[bellis_GTR]

Moree picss! My goal is 400whp for this year. Would love too see your parts list so I could get an idea of what I need. Cant wait to see more!

[ColinR33]

Yeah....no will power....just have too much fun working on it, got a good deal on the turbos and couldn't wait.

[GTRADDICT]

Didn't you say in the first page of the thread that you were going to wait before moding. lol I guess it's like the flu.
Looking good buddy!

Power goal is about 375-400 HP this year with a safe tune, 500-550 next year with proper tune, bigger injectors, fuel pump, fpr, bigger intercooler. I am getting Impact Coatings to do my powder and ceramic coating.

Got the turbos out, took about 6-8 hours of fiddling and cursing all told. Didn't need all that skin either.

Gonna start cleaning and transfering all the oil and cooling lines, hardware etc., coatings should be done soon, then re-install everything. Turbos, manifolds and downpipes up for sale - see FS thread.

I found the turbos easier to remove that the intake plenum. If I recall, I disconnected the downpipe, oil/coolant hoses, then the turbos from the manifolds, then the manifolds came out. The turbos and outlets came out last. What's your power goal? Who's doing your coatings? I haven't found a shop that does powder crinkle finishes. As for vipec, I hope you ordered a V88.

Some updates as it has been a while...
- sent cam covers, coil pack cover and TB cover off for powdercoating - black crinkle finish, new R34 garnish for coil pack cover
- sent new headers and downpipes off for ceramicoating
-in process of removing stock turbos, I have N1 turbos to put in (anyone in Edmonton that has removed stock turbos with motor in? I could use some tips! it is a royal pain in the arse!)
- Project Kics wheel spacers, Apexi intake, oil filter relocate kit all received and in process of install
- ViPec ECU ordered
- polished intake pipes
