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 first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
