that's a good price, where'd you get it from? i think in the long distant future when i do mine, i'd probably go through mckinney (because of reputation), though i would rather get "the best price", but then i'd get the "you get what you pay for"

so i dunno. but that's badass man.

so the 5 grand is including the labor? that is not bad at all..I think the wiring will be easier now that McKinney offers a service for that...I caught the article about the S13 they dropped an RB26DETT into...it is pretty awesome...but as that is a bit higher than the current mod budget...we are going to go with the RB25DET like yours...after that is completed in his S14 I am building his KA24DE adding a turbo setup and putting that into my S13...I should have the shop at my house finished soon so I will not have to go across town to my current shop...much easier to get more wrench time in that way....lol....I would be interested in more pics of your install if you could mail them to euro_odie@hotmail.com

thanks
Mike

Why is your IC piping not sealed to the throttle body in pic 3? It looks like they just stuck it in there and let it hang unsealed, which means you arent getting much of the boost you produce...

lol R34 they were just mocking it up. they wernt finshe with it.

djradam- i did not have a good experence. very slow. took a while to get me my mounting kit and wiring harness back. once the shop got the wiring back they never sent any instructions or how-to information on wiring the engine to the car. i dunno if the reason was the shop there dealing with or what. im getting my work done at payn tech.... were in royal oak are you?

240sxNLR - if u want any certain pics let me know. i am going out to the shop this week to take more pics so let me know.

thanks everyone any suggestins let me know.
Matt.
