PM me your VIN and I will see what yours is compatible with (VQ25det is the same as VQ23de only :/ ).

I am sure I could make one up for you if I had a gasket.

Have you put a plenum spacer to increase the volume of your plenum (should possibly be the same as VQ35de)?

Nah haven't tried a plenum spacer, where can I find those?

I am pretty sure that your plenum is the same as a V35/G35, but I'll check tonight just to make sure.

If it is the same, you can get one from the US (eBay is easy) OR my mate has an aluminium one he made for his V35. I will talk to him tonight and see if wants to let it go.

Isn't it better to have one that doesn't trransfer too much heat to your intake plenum?

Yes... with a runner spacer it definitely is.

With a V35 plenum spacer it makes no difference as the spacer is installed between the top and bottom sections of the standard cast alloy plenum.

lol... thanks mate... although the torque increase is there I have yet to dyno it.

Would be tricky to get an accurate comparison though as the engine needs to be cold to install the spacer kit.

Ryan, as per the first post... the original was 17mm as that was the size aluminium we had access to. It was modelled of the 20mm aluminium TEPS unit. When I switched to Bakelite, I wanted to go with a taller spacer to see if there was a noticeable performance increase (unknown) and also so it could soak up a bit more heat from the engine due to the larger area.

So does that mean if a 30mm spacer would fit under the bonnet you'd do it?

I'm thinking if the engine cover fits back over the engine with the spacer installed, I should be able to fit a spacer and a strut brace no problems. Hopefully we'll find out tonight :thumbsup:

i dont care what cam tells you.

the cover DOES NOT fit back on with the spacer.. it touches the bonnet

Aaron, go talk to Nick "nickcorr" about that.

His has been installed a lot longer than yours.

I'd certainly try it out.

Could do it too - the PM35 bonnet has a lot more clearance than the NM35 bonnet.

im actualy going to make you do it next time you come around.. i dont beleive you until i see it.

Are you physically unable to close the bonnet or is it that you think/know/hear its touching once it does eventually close?

well last time me and scott tried my fron bar was off.

i could clearly see it touching. and it hack up the foam on the bonnet.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
