R35 GTR GT600 PROJECT PART 3 (ACTUATOR & INTERCOOLER UPGRADE)

TURBO ACTUATOR REPLACEMENT NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART, YOU WILL REQUIRE SPECIALIZED TOOLING FOR THIS!!!

STANDARD ENGINE BAY





THIS IS THE EASY BIT REMOVING THE AIRBOX'S AND INTAKE PIPES



THEN YOU WILL NEED TO REMOVE THE ALLOY INTAKE PIPE TO TURBO, ON THE RIGHT SIDE IT IS FAIRLY STRAIGHT FORWARD JUST NEEDING THE HEAT SHIELDING REMOVED TO MAKE IT A LITTLE EASIER AND THE CORRECT LENGTH EXTENSION BAR, HOWEVER THE LEFT SIDE HAVING THE STANDARD BOOST SOLENOID ATTACHED AND A/C COMPRESSOR VERY CLOSE TO THE PIPE MAKES IT A LITTLE BIT MORE FUN .


WITH AIRBOX REMOVED READY FOR THE INTAKE PIPE REMOVAL


AFTER THE INTAKE PIPE IS REMOVED ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR, NEXT IS THE ACTUATOR REPLACEMENT


THE STANDARD ACTUATOR AND THE UPGRADED HKS ACTUATORS



AND THE HKS ITEMS FITTED ON THE STANDARD TURBOS
LEFT AND RIGHT SIDES



THE RIGHT HAND SIDE WITH MANIFOLD HEAT SHIELD REMOVED GIVES U MORE ROOM TO REPLACE ACTUATOR

THE NEW HKS AND THE OLD INTAKE PIPES ONCE U REFIT THE HKS INTAKES U CAN THEN REINSTALL THE AIRBOX'S ECT



WHILE WE HAVE ALOT OF FREE ENGINE BAY ROOM WE DECIDED TO STEP AHEAD AND FIT THE NEW INTERCOOLERS SO OFF WITH THE FRONT BAR TO START WITH

HKS INTERCOOLER PDF



THE STANDARD INTERCOOLER AND AIR DUCTING IS VERY IMPRESSIVE UNTIL U SEE THE HKS ITEMS
