GT-R turbos on the VQ37

Well done, man. That actually looks OEM.

Awesome work my friend! I want to see this done soo bad. Is something that I was thinking to do since I bought my Z (install OEM GTR manifold + turbos)

Soo my best wishes to your build dude!

Finished up bolting everything except one coolant hose. Driver side inlet just barely fits but I used a little heat wrap between to cushion it.

Need to modify the passenger side to fit. Hoping i can get that done tomorrow so it's ready for reinstall.

You should make a copy of your coolant lines so you can sell them with your adapters. So it can be more plug n play for us less mechanically inclined folk

P.S. This is sign I shouldn't attempt to drop my engine

I want to see how much you spend at the end to decide if do this or buy a TT kit

I can make them for sure. I already took measurements of all the lines and even bought a kit to test them for leaks. If enough people are interested by the time I'm done, then I can sell the lines and adapters together.

If I wasn't a college student and had more savings I would of even had the inlets and downpipes done :/ maybe another time.

Im very interested my friend! just want to see how much money I can save vs buying a FI TT kit.

I already have the GTR manifold with turbos on my Ebay watch list If i dont buy those, I have a shop here on PR that have them and I know they can sell me a pair!

As of right now, I'm just missing the downpipes, air filters and welding the bov brackets on my intercooler piping. I'm just at about 4k spent (Inc. clutch and flywheel) and intercooler so I'm hoping my budget will just stay under 6~k with a tune.


Compared to the FI TT kit which is arguably the best kit out there, I'm still at less than half the cost of their kit.

Now don't get me wrong, If I could afford the FI kit, I would have gotten it as it takes way less time to install and less downtime. But saving more than 6k to be spend on doing way more modification is worth it for me since the Z isn't my daily and I did it in winter. Just wish I had started earlier

Sounds very very good for me bro!

^Agreed, curious to see what you saved or spent vs something like FI TT setup.

Looking good!

Excited to see the motor back in and even more excited to see the IC piping take shape.

Anybody know if these are normal or are they cracks in the subframe?

Nah not normal at all. You're car is pretty much totaled. Tell you what, I'm feeling generous... Sell me your totaled build for 15k. Wait, finish the build first then sell it to me for 15k.
