Looks like it´s factory made aswell. :)
Will see how it goes with the hoses.
Maybe we are going too lower it a bit because of the hoses.

Well time for a lite update.
The car has got a new set of tyres. Pirelli Nero in the front and Continental ContiConatactSport 3 at the rear.
The car has also been into the Swedish MOT. They didn´t complain on the exhaust. But I did get two sets of do-it -your-self points. The one for the right low beam, was set too low and the the left low beam was wrong light picture.
Well well. THe left one I´m going up too Stockholm on tuesday too get it fixed. Then I will sort out the right one.
We have also started too remove the hoses too the turbo. Esier said then done.
But in the same time we are going too change the elbow and frontpipe.

Did you get the headlight sorted? Otherwise I could help you out with that.

If I where you I should mount a relocation kit before you put the oilcooler kit together.

Looks great though:thumbs:

Time for an update.
On todays too do list was.
Remove turbo incl exhaust manifold and elbow.
Well we did that. And also noticed my little crack on the pipe for the cooling too the turbo. Was not big. But big enough for the water too find a way out.
Also removed the turbo from the manifold and that gasket was on it´s way too break. Going too call my local Nissan dealer tomorrow for a new gasket.
After this it´s only installation. Going too take som epictures tomorrow of the engine bay and some other stuff.

Alright!!!!
The parts have now been installed and the most of the parts was very nice quality but some was out of the question bad. I know that you get way you pay for

I can with both my hands on the heart say that I wouldn´t recommend too anyone too buy elbows from Japspeed. Not a S15 anyway. :down:
Will see if I replace next winter. Depends if I´m going with a new manifold or not.

Alright!
My car has finally got BPU.
I installed the fuel pump and the Blitz i-Color last thursday. And we also set the boost too 0.8bar.
I can honestly say that now does it feels like the car has turbo. :D
What a rush!! :thumbs:
Was really easy too install. The setup I can´t say. a friend of mine did that.

Heres a picture of my interior with the EBC.


The next thing on the agenda is Subframe Locking collars and strut braces.
Also looking into having PFC installed.

Yes the elbow is going too be measured tomorrow. If it´s too short and I have a strong fieling that it is. Then it´s going too be replaced by real stuff.

And i´m still using the standard ones.

Time for a little update.
The clutch arrive this Wendsday. But it wasn´t installed until today.
I have now driven 35km with the clutch. and it feels fine. Only problem I have soo far is that it´s mutch harder too back with the new clutch. And that I have too select the 6th gear in about 100km/h(60mph) instead of like before putt it in in about 70km/h. Other then that it´s fine.
