Hi ladies and Gents,

I am looking for a keen fabricator that wants to showcase his skills in a pretty rare opurtunity to make a 350GT / 350Z turbo kit, there is not much involved and there is none in Austrlaia,

I am familiar with mechanical engineering and have a few options in mind (i have done my homework)

I own the car so thats not an issue

I just need someone with nice welding skills that is willing to showcase some of his work in a first australian kit,

Cantact me if you are interested

I already have a kit, currently on my Stagea, but I am willing to sell it as the auto can't handle what I would like to throw at it. 400kw capable GTX3076, 1.06 Tial rear, 45mm external gate.

What are your power requirements and where are you located? I can custom make kits (if the car is here) I can also supply turbo manifolds separately if you require them...

there is not much involved and there is none in Austrlaia,

There is more involved in a turbo kit than you think, as there is bugger all space to work with.

Perhaps Dale.

I don't work well with mechanical engineering types for some reason, they usually have no idea how to make things in the real world and underestimate costs, fabrication time and demand for the product, which might be the case here. There is absolutely no point fabricating manifolds when Nissan already made some, as HKS found.

I suggest you stick the turbo in the boot ff_Driftz, much more room there... :P

What are you talking about Scotty, He said " there is not much involved and there is none in Austrlaia"?

I'd like to know more about this mythical land named "Austrlaia" where the inhabitants have no access to 350GT/350Z turbo kits, it sounds like a terrible place.

But that's just me.

would it not be cheaper & easier to just buy an entire kit?

they even cater for RHS drive vehicles, cast manifolds too.. no cracking!

Cheaper? No way, I could fabricate a kit for less using factory VQ25det manifolds. I did notice there was 1 HKS kit in stock though...

Easier? I doubt it, most twin setups or kits that put the turbo in the stock airbox position will just get you defected. There is no point doing any of the above until the engine is built anyway.

Gents,

I am not asking anyone to work for free,

it always suprises me that there is negative people out there who should welcome new ideas for everyones benefit including their own,

if i wanted just a turbo kit i could fabricate one myself in one day without a problem, I want to put together something new with VGT turbos etc etc

that a person with very limited hands on skills can fit, I can design, I can weld, I can machine etc but in saying that - am i an expert welder/tuner etc?

the answer is no there is individuals on here that are and i invite those individuals to come forward and showcase their skills with a turbo kit that i will help design (that is my Job and i am an expert in mechanical design that is what i do every day, 3D modeling, FEA and so on)

PS: when i say there is none in Australia, I have done my home work, and if any of you think there is - i chalange you to find me a kit that uses VGT turbos in an efective manner with little mods on a 350/V35.

So you want a variable geometry turbo on 3500cc car? Is this a purely design project?

Point is, you want to turbo a v35 there are good kits out there that will do the job and no be laggy.

If you want to make a design project, then choose a car with better packaging options like an inline motor that can take more than 10psi of boost.

1. Yes

2. Not the type i want there is not, if you can find me a kit with VGT i am happy to consider it

3. You should ask yourself what limits an internal combustion piston engines pressure capability?

All in all I ask for a Fabricator if you are not interested please do not post

In my opinion a variable geometry turbo kit is unnecessary due to the large displacement of your engine, the VQ35 will spin up a massive turbo very early in the rev range and allow more flow than the stock motor could ever ingest.

Check out the new BW range, early spool from the Ti wheel and flow like nothing else for their size. No other moving parts to fail and free flowing large split housings to lower manifold pressure and heat. Unfortunately they won't fit in the confines of the V35 engine bay.

1. Yes

Pull your head in mate. I'm interested in trying to find a solution to your pipe dream. Your talking with Scotty, who if there isn't something he doesn't know about vq turbos, it's not worth knowing, and I myself have done a VQ35 turbo into an awd stagea.

The turbo is only a small part of an overall kit, so why not consider using the pipe work and other parts. What turbo are you intending to put on it? Single or twins? Gt30, 35, 42? Re you going to buy an off the shelf item, or modify it yourself? That constricts the location and packaging.

Are you building a motor? The stock vq35 has notable flaws when using forced induction. But I'm sure you can engineer your way around that...

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
