I'm always wondering "what if....." about my cars too. That's why I change em every 1-2 years pretty much. Heck, I'm on my 3rd miata now lol

In the last three years I've owned 12 different vehicles, never having more than 3 at one time, including two different street bikes and not including my trials bike. It's a little ridiculous.

And it will probably continue, because I can, and because for some reason I enjoy it. Or something.

Just admit it, you're an indecisive gay and we're glad you're apart of this community.

I myself am very indecisive. I loved my black turbo car but I hated it. I'm jealous of the white stallions but hopefully my plans for this car satisfies my needs. It makes me giggle just thinking about it

18psi 02-25-2013 01:09 PM

it will be awesome. I know it

hornetball 02-25-2013 01:21 PM

You're not going to tell us what you paid, are you?

As far as you doing an even trade between your old '93 and this new 2000SE, I expect some consideration for having encouraged you to part out. ;)

I need to know how to do my intercooler pipe routing. I dont want to cut into my fender well like I did my na, It was a massacre lol

18psi 02-25-2013 01:23 PM

check how I did it on Ed's.....Do that
I'm doing the same way on this one too. Its the best on NB's IMO

hornetball 02-25-2013 01:26 PM

A couple of thoughts:

1. Easy to do OTR on NB's.
2. Much better access from the side on NB's due to the fixed headlights.

Sounds like I need to come over this weekend and help you brainstorm. Dying to see this thing.

Link?

Too lazy lol. Its in my intercooler thread. Basically MSM routing with 2.5" piping. It works great cause all NB's have the hole behind drivers headlight like the MSM. You just enlarge it a wee bit

FWIW: I hated the OTR setup on my 1st turbo setup. Will not do it again.

I have a couple pics of it in my FS thread but I don't know how much help they will be. I will see if I can shoot a couple more pics of it... but no promises lol

FowlerMotorsports 02-25-2013 01:41 PM

I'll track down how Vlad has done it. I'd like otr but I hear mixed emotions, and I think my intercooler and cold side will work out I just need a hotside.

Mobius 02-25-2013 05:38 PM

Behind the headlight is clean. There is an existing hole there on NB's. Edit: I used FM's intercooler<->TB hose.

I hope I am blind, I can't find what you're talking about

hornetball 02-25-2013 08:38 PM

Mobius's 3rd picture. You may have to remove the inner fender liner to see it.

FowlerMotorsports 02-25-2013 08:39 PM

I was hoping he had a parts list that he used, now he is making things difficult for me!

hornetball 02-25-2013 08:47 PM

Duh! You're talking about the thread, not the hole. I give up.

FowlerMotorsports 02-25-2013 08:49 PM

That sounds dirty. :giggle:

My big surprise should be shipped out friday, I can't wait! What is it you ask? I will never tell :fawk:

And I will be shipping my ECU to Dimitris tomorrow for a MS3 upgrade and having the harness switched over for a 2000. I will be non-turbo for a month or so while I get everything together, so this build won't be rushed (which is a good thing)

Not to revive an old thread, but what the hell, I can't hold it any longer :giggle:

"Reviving an old thread" is what happens when you respond to one that's been dormant a year, not a month. And when it's your own thread, even that doesn't matter.

Shiny! Very nice. Is that a crate motor? Or a built motor? Do tell!

If your reference above to needing a parts list was in regards to my intercooler setup, I have a complete parts list in my track prep thread. If the reference wasn't towards me, then disregard.

FowlerMotorsports 03-14-2013 10:17 PM

Built motor! Notice the supertech pistons ;) I forgot my gaps, but 84mm pistons with 8.6:1 compression. Polished crank, balanced internals, I get my paperwork tomorrow on all the specs so I can update later.

I'll look into your build, I'm considering over the radiator because I love the look, im indecisive right now.
