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.

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...

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.

      Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.

      Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:

      Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
