These next photos arent great. It might not look it but there was still enough room to get in and do up all the factory clamps and brackets for the injector lines.
This is as far as I am at the moment. Next will be finalising the charge air track. This is only the turbo to intercooler pipe. We didnt have enough clamps to finish at the time of these photos. We will also be doing the oil and coolant lines for the turbo. I will be using a mix of tube and hose to try and keep things nice and neat.
We should be able to run it at this point to check for any leaks etc etc. Then it will be onto plumbing up the water part of the intercooler.
I'm guessing the benefit of the 4" from the turbo to intercooler will only be beneficial because of the large inlet on this intercooler. Say for example the CC top mounts don't have a large inlet on them so would you still get the same benefit?

Only using 4" from airbox to turbo. Turbo to intercooler is 3" pipe. Sorry I should have been more specific.
Yes there isnt much point in having piping bigger on the inlet side of the cooler. It can be a small benefit on the outlet of the cooler though as it increases volume. But it is a little pointless if it has to neck down again to go into the manifold.
Matt love your work mate. Looking great and a Great writeup, thanks for your effort here bud.
I actually saw an intake/WA cooler setup like that for sale on Facebook this week...... Interesting.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever. WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
Ok, so we have everything all tight @MudRunnerTD . Time to put it in its hole. It is very tight to the firewall so we had to use some bolts in place of the studs on the last 2 exhaust ports.
Make sure Everything is Tight mate!..
Damn you though! those 2 back studs replacing with bolts is a winner! Damn you and your smarts! @AB did he share that little cherub with you mate!

Great write up Matty!!! Nah never had an issue with those two studs don't know what all the fuss is about lol
Awsome Matty, this will be on the cards this year for the poor old GQ, she needs a bit of love. Many thanks to you northerners & ABs R&D, should be a lot easier- will have plenty of questions when it comes to it that's for sure.
Just out of interest what sort of cost is involved in ceramic coating - manifold for example?
