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

i've see thicker drinking straws....

LAWL!! you got nothing to complain about:

Top: my QR25de rods - im pushing 10psi and 280hp through those :|

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
