I got my intake manifold chromed. Now, i need to paint the Z engine cover and remove the nissan hamburger! mAYBE, I'll clean the engien compartment too.!

 

Looking good. Do you have any pics from the side?

What kind of turbo are you running? Lovin' the BOV. I miss that swoosh sound.

 

^^ in his sig.

The chrome looks nice, have you thought about the CF 350z engine cover?

 

I read it already, I'm talking about the actual turbine, T3, T4, Garrett, etc. It's not like turbonetics only makes one turbo. Since he says he has the first one of it's kind, I would think that it's probably not the normal kit that they sell on the site. Could be wrong though.

 

Looks great!

 

it's the 350Z tuner kit. not sure what the turbo size is. I have heard that it is some sort of T3/T4 hybrid, but then I have also heard it is a custom 60-1 that TN made for this kit.

also, I thought about the carbon Fibre cover, but I don't have anything else that is CB on the car. I'm going to paint it.

 

I'm curious if you have seen any loss of performance? It would seem that the chrome would retain the heat much more than the aluminum. It does look hot though.

 

Looks great! What did it set you back if you don't mind me asking?

 

I paid $300, but I had already sanded all the casting marks off and the manifold was very smooth. I was think of polishing it myself and I had started that process. I probably saved them some time.

 

not worried about. I live in Florida; everything is hot here! the chrome looks better than polished and it never needs to be polished again. a quick wipedown is all the maintenance that chrome plating needs.

 

got more write up about your turbonetics set up? i'm doing a lot of R&D before going FI

 

not alot to say about it.

the kit fits perfectly on the sedan. the only pipe I had to modify was the pipe that comes up the front of the engine. this only has to be modified if you have a revup engine. basically, you need to do some hammer-time on the back side of it to clear a boss on the timing cover. Thats' it!

The fit on the kit is very good. the pipes are very close, but all fits as described. I did the whole install myself on the garage floor. I used a set of ramps. I needed to pick up some specialty articulating sockets to get to some of the bolts, but nothing crazy.

also, I did a write up on installing the walbro pump on the sedan. let me find the link.......

Looks great! What part of Florida do you live. I'd really like to see this in person if you have the time.

 

Vero Beach. Take SR60 straight east from Tampa. When you hit the Atlantic Ocean, go south about 2-3 miles and that's where I live.

 

LOL...

Might be a nice ride on SR60. See some country before the land developers build on it.
