Alex is now finishing up on the 180sx, And had a few things he wanted us to do.

- 3"SS Downpipe.
- 3"MS Downpipe-back Exhaust.
- Wastegate dumptube
- Intercooler system
- Etc.








Huge! front mount installed.



The downpipe was a tricky, because the steering is on the same side as exhaust not much room to work with. you can see the turbine housing @ the bottom of the image.



Anyway got it done: nothing is too hard for our trusty miller syncrowave 200



DP minus the o2, egt bungs & exhaust flange



DP installed , o2 bung in.







good clearance shot from underneath.

awesome work!

 

looking good guys. What ems?

 

^Thanks guys, It was on an afc for now, He was elated with the 400rwhp he turned for now.

 

some more on it:


Ok well parts came in, so picking up where we left off.

The wastegate feed pipe from the manifold to the wastegate, was too long & flange was facing the wrong direction and had to be modified.









Modified & installed



While we wait for the dumptube material, we'll start on the intercooler piping.

From prior experience with this swap, We knew we would encounter a tight space between the radiator & throttle body so we went ahead & modified it. This time taking off, 1 15/16th" !!







Hotside:



Complete hotside piping:



The battery was already relocated to the hatch, so we cleaned up a bit & made use of the unused space.



Hotside installed:





Complete cold side piping:



Cold side installed:





Shot of both sides:







In a few early shot you might be able to see the radiator top side feed was on the left side of the car, but we decided to switch it out for a right side feed for a cleaner & simpler setup. So now we had to modify the water neck:

Before:



After:

 

Got some material in for the wastegate dumptube:

Finished product:



Installed:





Clearing the steering:



Clearing the downpipe:







Also got the turbo intake done.





Installed:

 

So moving onto the exhaust downpipe back:







Flex that bolts to dp.



Complete system: downpipe back!



Installed:











Also the customer requested we figure out a means of mounting his power steering pump, the reason being, he's no longer running a/c and on the 2j's the power steering use the a/c to mount......anyways.

We came up with a nifty little bracket.

 

Well we have come to the end of this build, We are happy the way things turned out & The customer was also pleased, we were able to fulfill all of His requests.

Before sending the car home , We Decided to revise the dumptube by extending an additional 4".








Exhaust ground clearance:





Parting shots:











^ Alot of people should get use to this view
