11.5:1 comp is for the people who build hardcore turbo racing engines, run it like porsche did in the 70's.

really want to see this whole thing pieced together and some numbers :D

good luck with everything

So do I mate, So do I!!!

Well, thought I'd getter get some pics of what we're playing with before it goes in.

First, the turbo itself- HKS/Garrett GT3037 S 56 / 1.12 Ext gate.

An Intercooler-

Metric ass load of bolts screws, clamps, banjos and washers.... that'll be fun in japanese...

6323597947_3acd305ef8_z.jpg

Got Gate? Yup a HKS GT II 60mm

Cast manifolds from a VQ25det we presume

Going to an exhaust with a HKS metal Cat

6323608615_da8118033a_z.jpg

complete with 4 holes for the sensors

Another metric ass load of piping- exhaust/intake/intercooler

6323628763_bfc0bfa503_z.jpg

Pod filter- lol... shinnnyyist packing in the whole lot!

6323618627_592eee8543_z.jpg

Other supporting bits - A Walbro, and deatschwerks 600cc drop in injectors.

PWR tranny cooler, no photo, and a little Blitz Boost Gauge.

6324164948_fc24d1b22d_z.jpg

Had the car on the dyno at the tuners today- needless to say its interesting what different numbers dynos spit out. Lets just say, I now want that turbo on!

Is the second inlet off to the side there for the wastegate piping?

What 4? EGT, O2, wideband and...?

Also what engine management are you going to run when this is done? I remember you looking at some kind of 350Z style flash, is that the final option?

Should be awesome when it's done. Looks like everything is top quality in the kit!

~120awkw?

Picture does not to that HKS cat justice IMO

A bit more - 131awkw. Funny when I had it stock on another dyno at 147. I know, I really shouldn't pay attention - dynos are only comparative tools. One can be completely different to another, even if it is the same brand.

Pics of HKS cat for Cam...

Yep, thats where the Gate joins in.

I have 4 O2 sensors, unlike you VQ25 plebs with only one tongue.gif

Two each bank- before and after the cat sI think...

It will be reflashed. Had the ECU out and to the Tuner, confirmed its the same as 350Z/R35. Prob the easiest way- avoid piggybacks etc. Haltech looked like a nightmare - their words not mine.

hmmm, wonder what would be easier, or even, more cost effective in the long run, buy another vq35 engine and rebuild that with pistons, gasket etc etc. then throw it into the car and sell your old engine.

that would mean less fart assing around and easier build up, plus no need to keep your car off the road. also when your done you can sell your engine for roughly the same as what you paid for the 2nd engine.

the downside of that is, you need money for the other engine, not like where its a rb25 which you can pick up for a couple o' beers.

the other upside is it wont be a ticking time bomb when your running your 6psi on stock engine and compression.

but all is a money issue.

ps. ill buy your turbo for a hi 5 :P :P

Yeah, its not a bad idea. At this stage(a) I don't want to go down the build path financially. There are plenty of VQ35's running around with a lot more boost than what I would consider safe. Have a peek at G35driver.com if interested. There are cars there running 10psi, with near 50k miles boosted. I'm quite conservative regarding my ambitions. What has been made clear to me is that its all up to the tuner. Shit tune, and someone who isn't carful about how they tune cars- then some of them don't even make it off the dyno. On the other hand, if you know what your doing, have teh right supporting mods, and tune it to the strengths of the motor- some people have over 500hp from the stock bottom end.

Oh, and using my turbo, if you were to give me a hi five, you might start to make boost by 5000rpmtongue.gif its got a rather large rear on it!!

its not difficult to drop the motor out of these cars to work on them. i rekon it would take a day and a night to do it all

Your on! I hope your rightthumbsup.gif

Firstly, lots of shiny stuff looks nice...

Secondly, extra O2 sensors for each bank of cylinders I get. But why are the holes all on the one pipe? Shouldn't there be 2 pipes with 2 sensor holes each or does that pipe come apart?

Can't wait to see it all go together, good luck.

Single turbo set up Leon. So it. Will be very similar to a vq25det set up in the end.

Alex, are the o2 sensor holes on the bottom of the pipe? I know the widebands are meant to be fitted so that the sensor can drain moisture.

Are the pin outs the same as the 350z ECU by any chance Alex?

If unknown, would you mind asking your tuner for me?

Oh, and we will be installing my mates kit the weekend of the 19th Nov but we won't be dropping the motor so should be fun

Found out today that NM35 cat back bolt up perfectly to my car!

Got one of these-

6335265815_0823dddbbe_z.jpg

Autosol metal polish. holy shiz that stuff is good. The exhaust wasn't in great nick when I got it, it is second hand. But being stainless no rust. Polished it up with some autosol, and it just gleams.

Sounds seriously mean too. I'll get a vid soon.

Edited by PN-Mad

lol, niiice. sounds mean.

i say we should have a "sound off" thread, where everybody posts their stats and mods, and then the soundclip to it, that would be pretty mean :D

....... i will start one later on tonight when i can get a cameraman for my car.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
