I like the safety wire method for the o2 housing. What did you do for the nuts for the turbo to manifold? Is it difficult to drill the bolts for the safety wire?

I used stock nuts and locking plate on the turbo to manifold side. I've had a lot of problems in the past using aftermarket headers where those back out, but with stock manifold, it should be good.

To drill the bolts, you just hold the bolt tight and use drill press.
It's funny that I'm quoting myself.. Well the manifold to turbo bolts, as well as, turbo to elbow bolts all backed out a little (heard from exhaust leak). This was going to be a tough battle against the heat and vibration.





So I decided to have the flanges welded. I wasn't comfortable with welding cast iron to cast steel, so heliarc_hustler handled it!






Also changed out the junk gasket to nissan 4 ply from s14 SR.






Started on the over fenders. Will update once I'm done!
