two things...

[B6Lovin]

first, my intercooler pipes are done :) and they're really pretty. Pics are further down... this man welds like a machine (literally... some of the cleanest work I've ever seen, i wish i could do stuff like this on my own) This same guy has a single turbo rb26 powered 280z... the car is amazing. people always ask him what kind of intake/exhaust manifold he's running... his answer is always "oh, i made those" [O_O] lol he's more or less done everything on the car himself. (did a guy near me's single turbo 300zx too.. that's what convinced me to go to him)

second, where the hell did all the search buttons go? is my browser fucked up, or is there maintenance going on that the mods hoped we wouldn't notice (since nobody seems to use the search anyways ) lol

[sambrody44]

I guess the site got updated. Anthony has been talking about getting rid of it because you can't use words smaller then three letters.

As for the IC piping. Lemme see lemme see!!

[B6Lovin]

s.o.a.b.... i needed to use it lol.
pics are coming in a few minutes. and i dont wanna hear any gripes about IC size or pipe diameter - im planning ahead lol

the guy doing the work has done a LOT of cars, and very very VERY powerful ones at that - so i trust his judgment in the matter. he also came up with a sweet way of mounting the IC (with tabs on the bottom that are welded to the old IC pipe which is integrated into the frame)

[kwimberly]

damn - that would suck. I use Search all the time.

+stuck +cupholder
+sport +suspension
+sunroof +vibration
+window +tint
+remove +glovebox
etc. +etc.

[Noodle]

No, they took it down temporarily. I saw that in the Feedback forum.

[B6Lovin]

ahh, got it. (the search thing)

here's the pictures :

[B6Lovin]

that mount is SOLID - with how tight the pipes fit, the thing doesn't even budge. it's great - fits AMAZINGLY well, and only cost 400 bucks (including all supplies, clamps, couplers, and time to remove my ECU) bringing me to a grand total of about 485 spent on this setup. I've got my old small one/old pipes FS now - PM me if you want em, i'll let it all go real cheap (clint hooked me up to begin with.)

[sambrody44]

Looks really good. Really clean install.

thank you :) i LOVE it. The only thing we're waiting on is for my ECU to get back from Unitronic, and for my BOV to get in from eBay lol. (Turbo XS Type H - yeahyeahyeah ricer BOV, i know... but I won't have a MAF or a TIP... so i kinda CANT recirc anymore. lol)

LOL. Home made BT kit FTW!

[TheBigO]

I never get sick of looking at FMIC porn. Great stuff.

[PRY4SNO]

That's a very clean looking install and product. I am jealous. Especially for the price.

And congratulations on going with tuning by Unitronic. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

well you can if you really want to.

but no worries. my Forge 007 is just dumping to the atmosphere. no MAF is the way to be..

i think we should start a club. like the MAFless Mafia or something

[A4ringedONE8T]

Nice, did the bumper fit back over that? Why did he put the core in front of the power steering cooler?

[absolutegtr]

So how much did all the welding cost ya?

Looks great BTW!

[B6Lovin]

Nice, did the bumper fit back over that? Why did he put the core in front of the power steering cooler?

yeah the bumper fits, BARELY... and with some significant trimming lol.

also, he asked - but i told him to just leave it where it was and move the sensor because i'll be replacing it soon and my PS pump is blown anyways. (gonna replace it with one of the mini-tranny coolers from autozone)

well you can if you really want to.

but no worries. my Forge 007 is just dumping to the atmosphere. no MAF is the way to be..

i'm down for the MAFless Mafia. hahaha, i like the way it sounds. my forge has been just dumping to the atmosphere too, but i kinda want something loud lol.

i really am putting that in my sig. you can be member 1 since you came up with it, i'll be member 2 for inspiring it. chris and mike can fight over 3 and 4 hahaha. (shawn, you can have 5 whenever you get around to finally ditching yours.. )

thank you, I'm EXTREMELY happy with it. this guy does absolutely amazing work for a decent price. I recommend him to ANYONE who is close enough to take advantage of his work. --cash and check only though-- PM me if you want a phone number.

LOL. Home made BT kit FTW!

you know it. on the basic pieces the price breaks down something like this (what i payed/general retail price):
Turbo (1400/1400)
Manifold (250/325) (mine is ceramic coated and came with hardware)
TP/DP/Exhaust (480/1000-1500+)
FMIC (485/700-1200)
TIP (0/150-300)
Injectors (200/200)

So how much did all the welding cost ya?

Looks great BTW!

thanks, the welding work was about 400

[Elliott]

Looks good man!

[Gondi Stylez]

Why are your pipes so freaking huge Hahaha looks sweet Dan!

[B6Lovin]

^cuz i have a turbo and not a 3.slow hahaha.

really though - like i said, i talked with the guy at the shop about my intended goals for the car, and possible future expansion. I wanted as little potential upgrading to do (to supporting mods) as possible.

[sean1.8t]

haha, i noticed your sig in another thread a minute ago. i was like, hey, i came up with that!

i guess it's on!

[sean1.8t]

DAMN! i wanted to make my sig look like this MAFLessMafia # 1

but i've used up all 500 characters for my sig!

damn overnight japan parts truck!

[B6Lovin]

bahahaha, good call on the colors -- editing now..

[BOPOH]

Hey B6Lovin, nice set up, i really wonna do it right now, i just need FMIC. And how did you get rid of MAF i wonna do that too.

[B6Lovin]

Hey B6Lovin, nice set up, i really wonna do it right now, i just need FMIC. And how did you get rid of MAF i wonna do that too.

got the core on ebay, and as you can see - custom pipes. i got rid of the MAF with the tune i'm running... fedex fucked up and i had to schedule a saturday delivery ($$$$) but i dont care... i NEED my car back, fully tuned.

[F16HTON]

FWIW the welds do not look that special...

[has6]

dan, i want a ride in the b6, now.
haha let me know, are you still in boone or cary?

[B6Lovin]

FWIW the welds do not look that special...

eh, hate all you want (if you wanna consider that hating lol) but it's BEYOND being better work than anyone else in the area. the guy is very skilled with making things fit where they shouldnt - and also at putting it all together.

dan, i want a ride in the b6, now.
haha let me know, are you still in boone or cary?

in cary - I'm transferring to NCSU. Anytime you want a ride and are in the area just lmk.

[skeeball]

Is the car up and running now?

[B6Lovin]

Is the car up and running now?

fedex fucked up the "overnight, delivery by mid day" thing, and didnt get uni my ECU untill almost night-time yesterday. They got it flashed/chipped (idk which it is, i think solder-in) and shipped out today, so i coughed up the $$ for saturday delivery, and it's supposed to be in tomorrow morning.

long story short - not right now, but tomorrow morning it will be.

then on monday i go back for a little more welding... putting a nice, loud, ricer-style BOV on it lol. It's just a regular Turbo XS type-H (not a H RFL) ...i thought about just letting the forge dump, but i figured why not go with a big blingy valve since i have the spare cash (got it cheap on ebay, yes its real.)

so i'll prolly have a forge 007 up FS on monday afternoon, along with a few other bits and goodies that i get to go home and strip from the car. after that it's onto the fun shit, (034 motor/tranny mount, JHM shifter stabilizer/linkage) more fresh oil, (doing a change just to check how things are going in there) rs4 rsb, fitting the front bumper back up, finishing the heatshielding/ducting, organizing my engine bay, and a bunch of other misc. tasks...

It'll be running, but definitely far from complete. This car has only begun it's transformation.

[AudiA4_20T]

wow man your really comming along, if I wasnt getting a bike I probably would be too o well itll be nice... Although Im making some good $$ lately so the turbo setup should be starting

[B6Lovin]
