ANDREWS GTS-T

[overboostedlebaron]

Took some pics of it on the engine to see how it would line up. I already see a few problems...





First things I noticed was the fuel rail was hitting the plenum and now it seems my throttle cable is 1 inch too short... This car would get more love if things went smoother...

Aww man I'd ditch that half plenum design, I doubt your improving your flow with it. On a side note a LHD S13 throttle cable till work for you.

Hey man the throttle cable should reach if you flip the TB around.
As far as the fuel rail i went with aftermarket so i dont know.

[overboostedlebaron]

ok Just got the tb and iac gaskets! I called up RS tuning for some advice and he told me to replace my oil pump (which i have on hold for a few days) get a z32 and ill be 400whp with my setup!!

Worked on the car for a bit today




And I filed down the flat edges on the throttle cable so now it fits perfect on the new manifold braket! I had to get rid of the factory cable guides and the cable is the perfect length now!




On a side not im looking for the speedo cable braket does anyone have a picture of how it is supposed to be retained?

been waiting the timing belt forever and was told id have to wait another few monthes so i cancelled that order and put a $350 order with nismoparts.com I bought a timing kit and a new oil pump! should be here in less than a week.

I also orderd a turbosmart 38mm wastegate and a turbosmart supersonic bov.

SO the new intake plenum looks ok but the vacuum threads are a lie. The seller told me they were 1/8 npt NOOPE! So I droped it off at the machine shop and he is retapping all of them for $20. Does anyone know if i can use brass barbed fittings on the aluminum? I was not going to use plumers tape but instead use red locktight.

Now i need some help figuring out how to delete the factory throttle body cooling.

some pics to come soon

yep youll be ok , use the tape.
Tape and lock tight do 2 different things.

Dont forget injectors and fuel pump1!!!!

EDIT: just be suppppper careful when tightening the fittings cause of the difference in density one hard turn too much would rip out the aluminum threads no problem.

[overboostedlebaron]

nice. Fast service they only had the manifold 2 hours and its ready to be picked up after i finish this post!

not sure what to do with these coolant lines coming from the fatory manifold.







And what is this again?

[RABBIT]

And what is this again?

my new oil pump, catch can, and timing belt kit! cant wait to work on it tomorrow! I still have to figure out how to get the gear off the old oil pump. Is it pressed on or can I heat it and carfully pry it off?
