Some new pictures for you to peruse. Ron is making great progress, but as you can see the 510 is making for a cramped downpipe area. It might cost me a few horsepower, but I'll never have cold feet in the car!

Note in the middle picture that the downpipe is close to the firewall. In the background you can see the notch for the original VG30DE exhaust pipe.

The airdam has now been modified to duct cool air to the intercoolers...

Intercooler routing that comes up from airdam

Looking back at psgr turbo - note intercooler hose going upward

Looking up at driver turbo from below - tight fit to firewall! (Sorry about the poor quality of picture)

Q45 fuel pump in 510 tank

Only one new picture for you, there's been progress - the plumbing for the turbos and intercoolers are done and currently this plumbing has been taken apart for cleanup, paint, and final assembly. This really is nearing completion, an estimation being that a full weekend of work and it should be ready to fire up for the first time. Or very close...

There's a Mt. Shasta All Datsun meet the second weekend of July, and if it means anything to anyone Ron tells me I can fully expect to take it to Shasta.

Two new pictures. Mechanical is 98% done and electrical is 80% done - so we're getting ever closer...
