Turbo M35's.

Can you please tell me how the single turbo is setup on your cars.

I am just curious as the whole thought of slapping a TT on the car seems silly if you can get a big single in there no worries. I think the 3.5 would handle a big single well with minimal lag.

So can you explain to me how they do it on your cars.

Is there a cross over pipe from one bank to the others?

Is the turbo mounted low in the bay??

etc etc.....

Cheers.

The NM35 HAS a single turbo set up.

It's low down on the passengers side, and brings a balance pipe around the top of the bellhousing, joining into the passenger side manifold. The space is limited, and this compromises manifold design, and turbo size.

I would imagine the issue with twin turbos is interference from the steering column on the drivers side. Still, there are TT kits for 350Z, and the basic architecture in the engine bay is similar, so I'd be looking that way to begin with.

I have a manifold here, I think it will bolt straight up to yours but the turbo is too small and I havent seen a bigger turbo that will come close to fitting.

If you wanted to go down the custom manifold route, a single gt30/35 on the lower passenger side should still work.

What are you thinking?

It seems you are the most experienced in this. I was reading about the G 35 APS kit. I'm just thinking the most reliable easily accessible heat efficient option.

I'm sure you have covered every option out there. Feel free to fill me in on the positives and negatives on them.

The more I look into it. The more I feel Nissan didn't want this car modified.

Yeah, I think its been worked out that the VQ25 turbo set up would physically bolt on to a VQ35 straight up. But the turbo couldn't handle 3.5 litres of grunt :rolleyes:

When looking for turbo kits, you have to account for 2 things mate- 1, has to be able to fit a RHD, and 2, has to be able to fit a AWD. So what your looking for is a G35x turbo kit, that can be mounted for RHD. Have a look through this turbo kit site. I don't know where you would go for engine management, if you went down that path.

Alternatively, there is plenty of supercharged kits out there too! lots of options :blink:

Bejesus. Options galore. Thanks.

Anyone bought anything this expensive without being hit by massive tax at customs.

Most of the kits dont have a very good manifold setup and you have to ditch the airbox on the single kits. It would be best to custom make a manifold for your choice of turbo and the new gtx Garrett turbos would be the pick atm. GTX 30 .82 in the stock vq25det location would flow enough I think.

Unfortunately the rods in the vq35de are thinner and weaker than the factory turbo rods, this is to help them rev. I would suggest new bearings, pistons and rods from the states before fitting any forced induction kit.

Ok that makes sense. That's extra coin I hadn't counted on in the immediate future, but I guess that's why I am asking.

Thats why most of the kits seem to be set around 6 psi... some up to 8.5. Way below what the turbo's are actually capable of. If you were to do it, I guess mount up the twin kit, drive it and sort the gearbox while it makes 6 psi. Then when the banks recovered, go blow up the motor with some boost and rebuild with some capable internals :D

Either that go leave it NA and tune that way- which is easy too...

Anyway, parts for our cars mainly come out of the states- the G35 has a massive following.

If I had unlimited coin I'd buy just about everything here to make a high rev NA VQ35. Swappy gearbox to MT / RWD and reduce the weight... somehow :D

Every time I look at that inlet manifold I get a stir downstairs! :D

Bahh, engine driven superchargers are for pussies, unless theres a turbo in front of it... :D

The 6psi limit isn't because of weak rods, it is due to detonation as the stock compression is too high for FI. This can easily be rectified with E85, unfortunately the rods will break with the extra torque and when that happens there will be no resurrecting the engine.

Actually, even the kits that lower comp to 8.5-8.8 keep the low pressure.... due to weak rods :D

      Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?

      Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.

      Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.

      Infiniti Q60 Navigation Update

      By Chocolate Cheesecake. · Posted

      Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
