I didn't take many pictures during the process, it was definitely a major pain in the @$$ to do by myself, but I got it done.
I installed the MPD Budget kit w/ 363sx-e and the complete piping kit. I started at 8 am on Saturday, worked on it from 8-6pm and again from 1030 pm to 130am. I got a few hours sleep and started again this morning at 730am, I finished up around 8pm. I thought once I finally got the factory crap out that it would be smooth sailing but I ran into figment issue after figment issue. The first issue was the passenger side up pipe did not want to perfectly align so I could get the v-band clamp on.....I finally got it close enough but I am worried that it'll leak. My next fitment issue was with the piping kit, the hot side went in but it was very tight, the cold side was awful, the 90° boot was way too long, I had to modify it before I could even attempt to put the pipe in place. The boot was way too long, it hit the fan shroud and basically bent back towards the CAC, once trimmed it didn't want to line up at the intake and I basically had to force it to go. The clamp for the hot side that attaches to the turbo seized up and broke so I need to find a replacement before I can fire it up. Getting the intake on was a chore as well, but I finally got it after wrestling with it for awhile.
The rest of the parts from No Limit went on perfectly.
A couple questions,
1: I didn't see a port in the intake for the MAP sensor? Should it be left out? I did install the MAF sensor in the intake tube just after the filter.
2: If the passenger up pipe leaks at the v-band, I am not sure how to fix it, the pipes will not align up...even with a pry bar.
In the morning I have to tighten up the downpipe bolt to the bell housing, fill the coolant and bleed, tune, and fire.
