Well, I’m bored at work (my 9-to-5…not my dyno business) so I thought I post some pics of my 2007 build up.
Before…a mild mannered 390rwhp SR’d 240sx
Just mocking up the Vertex Kit
Motor pulled and engine bay cleaned…ready for paint
But first, we need to mock and cut some holes for a custom intercooler short pipe setup. Rather than mount the intercooler traditionally, we mounted it upside down and then cut 4 inch holes behind the headlights in order to run short I/C piping. This will result in removing over 2 feet of chargepiping and should net some good responce for this street application.
Engine bay primed black
Time to start putting it back together. These bits have to get installed…
Working hard…or hardly working?
Turbo side all buttoned up
Motor is about ready to get put back in the car.
Well - it’s dirty…but it’s back in there.
Off to the bodyshop…
Sitting on the frame rack…making sure it is nice and straight
More to come - I’m going to visit it at the bodyshop tomorrow.
Yeah - I’m personally not much of a bodykit kind of guy but will be using the car as a bit of a demo vehicle for my dyno business so decided to “Tuner” it up a bit.
I still think it will look very clean when painted because I chose a kit that is relatively mild.
Thanks for the comments on the bay - it needs a slight clean and once painted, I’ll tune it up. I’m looking to make 400rwhp on low boost and about 450 on high boost – all on pump
this car reminds me of a car i was looking at when i was looking for a car about 2 years ago. it was exactly like that but it has a clutch and overheatin problem. nice job love what you have done and i love that body kit
