I have that same HKS turbo exhaust manifold siting on the shelf as well as the HKS intercooler, HKS turbo exhaust system, HKS P-FCON with stage 1 and 2 chips. and HKS bypass valve as well as the piping. I started out with a HKS turbo kit.

I think you should let me take those off your hand. ph34r.gif

It is called a barb. Most fitting stores and even home depot and lowes sell them.

Edit: I just noticed that you were in australia, try looking at tunertoys.com They could probably ship to you.


T25 turbo, .48 exhaust .49 compressor. Pretty much the same thing that came on the turbo silvias and 180sx's.

Sawchuk you have to post some pictures dude! I would love to see some pics of your car and engine.

Well I was hoping to get my wagon to the meet but its just too much to do in such little time. That and I havent gotten it started yet or tuned. I just am not too comfortable about taking it several hundred miles on a turbo kit that I havent worked the bugs out on yet. Anyways, I have updated pictures laugh.gif
