'Fatboy' Feature- Part 2 |
Powerplant dropping into the engine bay |
Plumbing was next on the list. Polished
Greddy intake plenum was bolted up, with Nismo
740cc injectors. |
Vibrant Performance 4 ply silicone connectors
and Samco Radiator hoses offset the black and
blue theme. |
Front HKS intercooler mounted and plumbing
started. (this intercooler was later swapped
out for a custom Vibrant unit that was larger
for big boost.) |
PDM removes the battery in their turbo installs,
and plumbs the 304 tig welded stainless tubing
through the old battery box area.
|
Intake plumbing starting to take shape. |
Passenger side stainless tubing tig welded
and polished. |
Standard PDM drop mount of air filter to pick
up actual cold air vs placing the air filter
in the engine bay sucking in hot, turbo air.
|
Intake and hot pipe plumbing. Note 300ZX
MAS on the bottom. |
Engine bay colour scheme and plumbing getting
near completion.
|
Finishing touches like colour matched
powersteering tanks and radiator brackets. Koyo
polished SR20DET radiator was a must. (note
trick metallic blue valve cover color to match
blue anodizing) |
A larger Vibrant intercooler core was
later added, and the plumbing modified. |
Sard adjustable fuel pressure regulator adjusts
the fuel pressure in Fatboy, and custom stainless
lines feed through a billet fuel filter.
|
Undercar is clean and simple. Nismo LSD
in rear with 4.08:1 gears. Megan Racing N1 style
muffler, with PDM Racing custom metal substrate
high flow catalytic converter mated to a Blitz
Down pipe. |
Corner handling
is done with Tein Flex coil overs.
What wheels and tires
to adorn Fatboy was a dilemma. Chance
upon some Work wheels that fit the character
of the car. Fronts are 17 x 9.5 +10 offset
shod with 235/40/17 Falken 615's. Rear
is 17 x 10 +10 offset with 255/40/17 615's.
