Lots of work still do do just got the piping in today so hopefully this weekend i ca look and installing it all!

[Shane Sawatzki]

man if u got the bumper off and only broke A single bolt head...u had it easy.... lol usually alot more than 1 bolt head brakes, other than that, it looks good man, looks like it fit good without too much grief, how did any of the brackets line up to anything?? and when are u going to finish the piping

[Shane Sawatzki]

OH and dont forget to take out your sidemount lol excess weight lol....plus then you can do a custom turbo intake and put the filter down there so you get nice cold air...I would have done this if I had short route piping like you will have. just an idea....

[Michel Paiement]

where did you get the intercooler set up from?? did you end up installing the inner bumper??

[Shane Sawatzki]

he got the core from me......wouldnt fit my 1g...thought maybe i could get it to work but not even close, so i sold it to him

Placing the filter down there is asking for trouble, mud, water maybe enter the filter and saturate it and possible damage can be done to the turb impellers blade etc....Definitely take it out as Shane stated though

there are lots of guys that run it this way, you obv have to protect it when u place it down there... but I hear this drops intake temps like 100 degrees or somethin

[Josh Royle]

[Fred Cheng]

Piping went bad my blitz bov is way to big for the 1g flange... so now im in need of a BOV

[John Hartman]

Shane, remember his car is 7 years newer than ours, hehe, his bolts are less rusty 

As for the intake piping and filter, just make sure its up fairly high in there.  mine couldn't injest pure water until I was in water up to the middle of my wheels or higher.  Just stay out of huge puddles and the ditch.  Sound advice no matter where your air filter is 

Josh, get a 1g bov, or a Greddy Type-S or a Forge Motorsports one.  All are direct fits for a 1g part.  Or anything that fits a 2.0 Skyline inline 6 single turbo.

[Michel Paiement]

so were you able to bet that inner bumper installed??

[Josh Royle]

nope lol i dont know where id mount it :S

[Josh Royle]
