STS makes the kit I think they make them to order. They are under 6k for the kit and they estimate 12 hours of install time. If you want to purchase one you will have to hit up Jamica@uamotorsports he is a vender on the forum. You think u may buy one? I am going to wait for my bonus check and maybe buy.

Awesome. So far there is 3 of us. I'm thinking 7pm. Does that work for you?

So is the meeting at 7pm at Wild Wings in North Chuck still a go?

I've always heard bad things about rear mounted turbo. But sounds like there are positives and negatives to this kit. I would be interested to see more of them out there before jumping to one.

Yes, looks like there is going to be 4 of us. I will probably park out in the middle of the Best Buy parking lot. Maybe we can take some shots of the cars together.

Ok well I finally figured out what was wrong with my car yesterday. I took it to the shop to see what the deal was and to install my oil cooler. Once I had it on the lift I noticed my rear driverside oxygen sensor unplugged (wtf). The car wiring harness was also ripped off of the little plastic clip that holds it to the little bracket on the bottum of the tranny. I hooked it back up and zipped tied it back to the bracket and all is good now. Thank goodness the wires were ok. So on to the oil cooler installation when I noticed a piece of the lower engine cover or what ever its called (black piece that covers the bottum of the car) was missing. It is a 6"x24" plastic piece that connects to the nismo specific bottum cover. I knew I didnt run over anything, I suppose this piece blew off when I was running 135mph down the interstate and took out my o2 sensor harness. BTW this little piece of black plastic cost $392.00 from the dealership (what a rip off, I will be making a new one from ABS plastic, the same thing the factory one is made out of). Well in the end im glad I got my car running right. I did learn a few things aswell so I thought I would share. Bank 1 = Passenger side, Bank 2 = Drivers side, O2 sensor 1 = Pre Cat (Air/Fuel)sensor, and 02 sensor 2 = Post Cat sensor.

Glad to hear you figured it out. Did you get a Z1 oil cooler?

A couple of pics from the Wild wings meet last night. More in my journal.





It was great meeting everyone. Hope we can get together again soon.

Yea I got the Z1 25 roe cooler with a 180 thermostatic sandwich plate. Z1 also offers a protective wrap for the oil lines which I got aswell. Have not driven it to much but have not seen any temps above 195 degrees yet. Installation was easy and the cooler fit perfect. Just had to put a couple washers behind the upper brace to push the cooler back a little and flip the chassis strut around.

[ClemsonWill]

That is going to be my next purchase. I can't decide which one to go with though. I need to do some more research. I will definitely check out that Z1 more closely. It seems really nice.
