Recommended Turbo Installer In Melbourne


Recommended Posts

I've got a 2535 waiting to go in. Got the elbow and oil return pipe, basically almost complete except for gaskets, which are cheap/easy to make. This is a direct bolt on with T3 flange so shouldn't be too much dramas.

In terms of worksmanship, I wanted an installation that is neat and keeping everything looking nice & tidy under there with heat shield everything still in place to prevent under bonnet heat issues.

Keeping that criteria in mind, who would you personally recommend to do the installation in Melbourne metro?

Hey Rianto...long time no hear buddy :D

I'd recomm. ATP....kyp can be a handful sometimes but he knows his stuff and does a lot of work for other well known workshops.

Just mention you know me when you call or drop by....

oh and you can use the search func. to find his contact no and other recommendations from SAU people :(

Hey Ant... yeah long time no see, you weren't at the BBQ last weekend? Busy with the new baby must be... :-)

Where is this ATP, I couldn't see it in the sticky list of Victorian workshop.

Actually bigger change than that....got relocated to WA (perth) for the next 12 months so your going to have to step up and make a few track days :(

ATP (Advanced turbo performance) is on Dandenong rd near Chaddie shopping centre. Just look them up in the white pages or do a search in the vic section for ATP....I've posted their details before a couple of times.....

I would give em to you now but don't have them on hand :(

RE Customs did a TOP job installing my new HKS turbo. They have the knowledge and experience to back it up.. can also do dyno tuning :(

16 Yiannis Ct.

Springvale

03 9548 3414

Give Ray a call for a quote.

Thank's, I'll look them up and ring around for quotes.

Havent done anymore trackdays, 100,000km service coming soon and I wanna make sure everything is healthy before bringing it to anywhere above that 5000rpm+ zone again ;-)

just out of curiosity where is high end racing locate? i.e. street etc...

thanks.

I;m checking out what other alternative workshops out there and if their workmanship is comparable to the high quality of what i'm gonna use... I'm way too fussy for any kind of cowboy jobs.

get a gasket kit and do it yourself, seriosly, its like 4 bolts, a few pipes and oil fitting, if you dont have a dump, it will be fun driving it to a zorst shop

you will save like $1500 and make sure that you know exactly whats done

youll probly need to take the manifold off too and replace allthe studs but thats not that hard

    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
