Can confirm factory N/A goodness. Plain gts. Did they come with boost/oil pressure in the dash?

Boost no, oil pressure yes... Also sitting tightly waiting the pics of the 32, you did send them to me back when I had my rb but I deleted the message :(

Alright guys, if you want to naturally boost an N/A, follow my write up. It should look something like this:

The throttle body is harder to get photos of, as it's further up inside the front bar after a hard pipe coming from the intercooler, but it's very self explanatory.

Pod > intercooler > throttle body > piping > car throttle body

Don't forget to gut the AFM and lay all your parts out and make sure you have enough silicone joiners and things like that to make it work.

Post up your pics!

Whoever connected that pod filter should be shot.

putting the hose clamp on the hard pod filter base pushing down on the soft flexible silicon!!!

smallest back fire and that pod filter is going to launch off.

hell get a nice hot day with the silicon softening and it could well drop straight off.

You're an idiot...

There is a hard pipe piece in between the pod and the coupler, it isn't clamping down on silicone!

Plus, the throttle body prevents a backfire coming back through the intercooler.

got a sound clip of tb2 opening?

How?

The intercooler won't fill up with air if the car is stationary and I don't intend on hanging off the front of the car risking my life just to record a sound clip for someone who has nothing positive to say, anyway.

Good son of rajab... Kwaka... I am just going to sit here and applaud.

Why I never thought of cooling ambient air with ambient air is just a kick in the nuts. And I spent all that money on turbocharging my car. You sir... You know your spanner from your shifter. Any other advice on getting power from an NA? Shaving weight off the cams for example?

Weight can definitely be shaved off cams by taking material off the cam lobes, unless you know what you're doing though, you shouldn't do it. Valve timing becomes affected.

You didn't waste your money turboing your car, I'm just enlightening everyone to the fact that there's more than one way to skin a cat.

177rwkw in a light 20DE GTS is pretty fun!

you never heard of go pro

hanging off the car...such a newbie

I'm a newbie yet you don't know how to intercool an N/A car?

I have heard of a go pro, but have you heard of background noise? The throttle body opening isn't as audible as say, someone hitting gate. The noise is definitely audible but not to that extent. I might get him to do a fly by later.

Plus, I don't have a go pro.

Idk why you need to hear it when you can see it and the dyno sheet is there.

If i run twin throttle bodies will i get 12psi?

If so, i might ditch the 3076 setup and go with that!

Not quite, Matt.

Since there's no "forced" induction, you're really relying upon ambient air getting a bit sped up as the throttle body opens. Adding a second one will just slow it all down and probably have a negative effect.

You could get a greater effect on an N/A zed with two intercoolers and two intakes on the same plenum, but that's another story.

Well based on that i reckon a flat intake with ITB off a GTR would easily be the best option? You could fab them into the end tank?

with my last NA i was too poor to go to this much effort, I used to just open up the airbox and dump a bag of ice in there, so long as you put drain holes worked a treat..

    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
