All downpipes have names on them. I'm sure if you ask her nicely she'll make you an extra but that means another trip to the place where we got them... quite a drive there. :-)

Ummmmm................. in a word, No. Only paintball stuff in those cases. Mostly for my custom pistol and rifle

The couch is summery.. Rather quaint in the right setting like my old sunroom. Deffo not to good with a clear plastic tarpon it covered in car parts.

Totally :offtopic: , but what sort of accurate range do you get on the Tiberius?

I've got a modded Glock 17 which is pretty good up to about 25m, then the accuracy goes a bit low :(

It can still be painfull at twice that distance (i've had the bruises to prove it), but probably less so than the un-modded one :D

My Tag is pretty accurate out to 30M. After that it wanders out to 6-8". Again, though, its only a paintball marker. Granted it was originally designed for law enforcement 8)

Back on topic. When I get back to SF tonigh I'm going to try and get a few more downpipes mocked up. Sould be a productive couple of days off.

heya boyz,

well boyz, made some more progress today. The photo shows four of the five compressor housings in varous stages of grinding, sanding and polishing. Alot of work to get them to look good. As they sit now 3 of the five are ready for buffing and the other two are nearly so. I'll be heading down to the welders check up on the downpipes and BOV's later today before my trip.

i thought it was the 466541-1, which is identical to the -1 except for the material of the wheels. the 707160-9 is actually a GT2860R, not a GT2560R. i just got the -4 last week, waiting for it in the mail.

i need to see about a downpipe though...coughmariecough :poke:

the first is OUT unless someone specifically asked for it. while the GT2554R is lightening fast in spool it doesn't make the top end that the 2560's do, the second and third seem to have the broadest map as they are essentially the same unit minus material used for the wheels, and the last is GT-R specific.

that was actually some good reading.

btw, got my GT2560R and DAMN that thing is big compared to the IHI, even compared to the Tbird (though not much bigger than stock). i know LGM posted pics, but until you have it in your hands you just don't realize it. you boys are gonna be STOKED!!!

hey Marie, i know you don't have parts to make an extra DP, but if you have some scraps, is a heatshield out of the question??? cheers

holy crap all you boys are lucky to have Marie doing this for yall, because i have to tell...just clocking the damn CHRA and getting fittings in is fun enough.

btw, i think you all have more room between the radiator and manifold. i had to shave the bracket under the wastegate actuator.

here is a pic, not as shiney as yours but still works. i'm starting to appreciate LGM's custom downpipes more now that i realized how much room there is to work with.

like i said, you're all luck to have Marie...and Ekapol :-D
