awesome write up!

one quick question, if anyone can confirm for me.

looking at these pics and description, you have used the existing hole below the washer bottle from ur previous fmic setup with the std plenum. (im asuming?) but you have not retained the std washer bottle. my questions are:

although u have used the existing hole, are u stil not able to retain the washer bottle? or do u have sum form of aftermarket washer? (i cant see anythng)

what i would like to do with my setup is use the exsiting hole from my greddy fmic setup (same location as pictured) and also retain my std washer bottle. is this possible?

Heres mine (genuine greddy, not the copy) should also answer SK's question regarding reusing the GTR/Hybrid intercooler style hole below the Washer Bottle. I re-used my RB25 injector rail also which I painted with oil/heat resistant wrinkle coat.

yes it is possible. but it is necessary to have some pretty hardcore sharp bends.

in the end me and my mechanic just used the washer bottle area. muuuuuuccchhhh easier.

and im sure u can buy a twin motor washer bottle somewhere else.

something small like a s13?

i have a couple of quetions about this install i really want to do this at home as a D.I.Y project, but without a welder am i in trouble, as i need to have nipple added for the boost controller set up on I/C piping, the ACC pipe of the i/c piping (as shown in the tutorial).

Where does the B.O.V vacume line connect to as well, as it did not mention it in the tutorial as i would also have my B.O.V relocated under the wheel arch.

Putting a nipple in shouldn't require any welding, you can tap into the piping. However the AAC piping will require some welding due to the size of the hose.

There are several vacuum line points on the side of the plenum, allowing you to use these for BOV, Fuel Reg, etc.

Basically drill a hole into the intercooler piping one size smaller than the nipple thread, then put the nipple in by twisting it. The thread should bite into the metal and keep it steady. Some thread tape will also help with the seal.

I did this DIY and went the el stingy option and managed to use the old pipe that went across the engine so i had the AAC valve hole and BoV mount already :thumbsup: with all the vac lines if i had to double up i just threw a "T" piece in with some check valves

Sounds like an 'interesting' but smart way to go about it, i am still smoothing and working on mine till i think it is fit to go on the car. i'm sanding it back and polishing it up, i will have a pipe welded in for the ACC valve and the bov mounted under the wheel arch, then i will thread a nipple for the boost controller, unless i get a kkr480 which dosen't exactly need a boost controller. cheers, hame.

Also just thought i'd add a pic of how mine is going.

another step that was forgotten from the tute was that the sensors for the water temp need to be put in just before where the top radiator hose gets plumed in..

can someone answer my post above!! :P

    • To plug the hole. The engine plant may not have known whether the car it was going into had a gauge or not. It was a long time ago and the integrations might not have been fully modern. Or they might not have cared because the extra inventory and processes to save a few cents on the sender might have cost more anyway. But please tell me you are not still confusing the idea of a pressure gauge sender, and an oil pressure light switch. The switch will be out there. In a separate hole. Probably with only one wire running to it. Running the light.
    • Blower needs to go low on the exhaust side, displacing the AC and PS, which you have to decide whether you want to keep and how and where to relocate if you do. Electric option for PS is, at least, helpful. Sadly, there is no workable 12V electric AC of any value. Whilst the blower is the last compression step before the throttle, and so it might seem a good idea to have it near the inlet manifold (as mentioned above), you probably want it to go through an intercooler first, so, having it on the opposite side of the car facilitates that air flow path. The turbo discharges into the blower, so proximity of the turbo's compressor outlet to the blower's inlet is nice. But then you might want to intercool that too, before boosting it again....which would probably be a ball ache. Routing pipes out to the front and back could be a bit shit. If there was room for (at least) a small (but preferably larger) water to air core on that side, then that would probably be the best approach. I guess a reasonable alternative would be to locate the blower where the alternator is (more or less, associated with the inlet manifold, per Matt's thought), and somehow incorporate a water to air core into the manifold, sort of like they do for modern blown V8s. The big difference here though is that those V8s have only the one throttle (upstream the blower) and only the one compression step (the blower) and no need for too much in the way of bypass/blowoff valves. Whereas in a twin charged 6, you do need to think about one or two bypass valves associated with the 2 compressors and you would prefer to have the intercooling done before the air has to pass through the throttle. You'd like the throttle to work approx the same no matter what the compression is doing. But if it is located in hot air stream before a cooler, then sometimes the air will be real hot, sometimes it will be quite cool, and the throttle mapping/response will be quite different between those two cases. The throttle, if sized for hot air, would be too large for cold conditions. It's all a ball ache.
    • Package SC on exhaust side. Remote mount turbo. Still a fair bit of room when you get creative on the inlet side of the motor too. Especially if you can get really creative with the welding, and effectively build it into the bottom of the inlet manifold. Would definitely take some design work, and some trial and error, to make sure flow works well still! Might be easier to just start with the Nissan March though... All the work is already done for you...
    • I'll sit down and get a post together 😁
    • The factory oil pressure sender is no longer in the car that's what is confusing me. In the Taarks adapter I have an aftermarket Bosch style pressure/temp sender and the factory temp sender only. Oil pressure is perfect. Where does the factory oil temp sender go to if there were never any gauges? Why was it there from the factory?
