Post it up if you figure it out. I deleted mine too and would like to delete this line as well in the future

Any updates?

I'm still waiting for the new design of the adapters to be machined by the shop. They are taking their time unfortunately which is what's stopping me.
I ordered the OEM block off plate for the oil cooler coolant lines and ordered AN lines that i will be cutting myself because it's pricey to buy them premade.

Also, i'm going to use the GTM/Gamma way of doing the coolant lines. Using Tee fittings that go between the passenger and driver heater hoses with a -6AN "Output" since it's the easiest way.

Will be updating with more pictures as soon as i get the new parts next week.

Got the GTR Heatshield today so hopefully I won't have any heat problems and also wrapped he manifolds with titanium wrap!

Also found a dyno sheet of these turbos running on low boost with gtr injectors

Do you happen to have the part# for that block off?

I'm pretty interested in it. Seems like a good way to go.

Also very interested but want to see finished job.

Yes, it is 14053JK50C

Edit: Found all the parts needed to delete the OEM Oil Cooler if anybody needs them.
Coolant block off plate 14053-JK50C
Hex bolt 081A88251A (You need 2)
Gasket 21331-AD20A

Keep in mind you will also need to use a plug on the remaining pipe.

Very intrested in this hope it works out well I was thinking how difficult it would be to modify the exhaust manifold to bolt right up no adapters like cutting off the flat part of the manifold and replacing it with the flat part of the 370 headers obviously not that easy but since u have both parts in hand maybe you could hold them up to each other and see how difficult or simple it would be would save u the cost of making adapters and reduce the chance for failure of additional seals

If it was that simple I would be done already. The turbo needs to be spaced and mounted at an angle to clear everything.
The adapter is the easiest solution really..

Im thinking AAM intercooler with partial pipes could work the best. :stirthepot:

Yeah that would be perfect. You could also use CJM's upcoming race intercooler.


I'm still waiting for the shop as they're taking their time unfortunately. Ordered all the oil/coolant hoses and fittings so should have everything wrapped up by next weekend.

I finally got a few things in the mail yesterday, a lot of $$ gaskets

Really enjoying watching this build! Hopefully the shop will hurry the f!ck up!

Are you planing on making adapter for the exhaust?
Could you take picture from the back of the motor with both turbos installed please.

I don't have the turbos mounted atm because I'm redesigning the manifold adapter, as the 1st design required a spacer and I didn't want another gasket that could possibly leak plus the added weight.
The new redesigned adapters are at an angle so a spacer won't be needed to clear the OEM oil cooler lines for anybody wants to keep them, and no grinding of the block is needed.



Just a small update for entertainment.

Sub'd

So no one who makes turbo kits or Z's wants to sell intercooler and pipes separate.

On scale 1~10 how likely oem intercoolr piping will fit on the z? (with GTR manifold conversion)

By comparing FI kit pipe layout and GTR OEM they are about the same. What do you think? $$ wise GTR OEM parts are on point can get whole intercooler set for just about 200$

Just checked clearance of the oil hoses today and cleaned up everything a bit.

Still waiting on the damn shop, wish I had another option :/ but I have contacted a few vendors on here to no avail.

Hopefully they will have it done this Friday, so I can finish up cutting the hoses to length

Unfortunately that would not work, as the maf sensors in the GTR are located at the turbo inlet, not near the throttle body.

You can always wait for CJM's intercooler setup


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

what if i chnage BOV section tube and add sensor housing will that work?

Sub! Very interesting built.

Sure you can make it work but it's not a bolt on solution. You would need to cut up some pipes to length etc and in the end it's probably cheaper to just have a local shop fabricate it for you

Small update.. visited the shop and they still haven't made the pieces but they did finish the CAD design. Hoping they will have it ready for me soon.

I got my original adapters back to double check my measurements and see if everything fits. Looks to be pretty good so far, hoping I don't have any more hiccups when the engine goes back in. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...29202fb1da.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5e4a57d64d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e4e46abc8d.jpg

My favorite active build on the forum right now.

Thanks! appreciate the feedback.

Your turbo install thread was really helpful for getting some ideas to help me out. I really appreciate anybody who takes time to help out like that!

looks like this adapters could be used for the exhaust connection. (for those who would not want to wait for bolt on solution)

Wow that's a great find! I was going to just use the gtr downpipe and modify them to fit.

Wonder if this is decent quality for a downpipe though..


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice this is moving along great! So what's the next step? Putting the motor back in the car?

For the price i think it should be good quality because there are chipper options out there and this one is shipped form Kobe Japan.

other chipper one is here Exhaust Dump Pipe For Nissan R35 GT-R Twin Turbo VR38DETT | eBay

Right now I'm still waiting for the shop to finish up, then I can finally finish the oil/water lines and cut them to length.

Then it's ready to be put back in the car!

How are you planing on doing oil lines?

I would imagine he would run it like an aftermarket turbo install. Oil sandwich plate, and fittings for the oil pan.

And tapping coolant from the heater hose or TB hoses?

Correct. I'm really doing it similar to the all the aftermarket turbos, you can read a lot of 350z/370z TT kit manuals available online everywhere to get ideas.

Tapping the heater hoses using a 6AN Tee fitting, 4AN for the oil inlet and 8AN for oil return.

New update. Shop is machining the adapters tomorrow and hopefully will go pick them up tomorrow evening.

Ordered the zspeed stage 3 clutch+flywheel+CMAK delete $$$ and will be receiving it this week hopefully.

Also, I just received the Z1 motor mounts! They look awesome with the motor mount bracket.

Also, I'm dropping the transmission to install the CMAK kit and also so it's easier to put the engine back in first by itself.

Are the mounts actually needed for the kit install? Or is it something you're doing since it's out and apart anyway?

I was searching all weekend could not fined any manual just build post on forums. If some one have a install manual link please share.
So filter relocation will be necessary to add another plate for the oil lines?

Contact turbo kit manufacturers, they can provide the install manuals.

AAM does provide their TT install manual as a PDF on their website. Simply googling 350Z twin turbo manuals should bring up a lot of results.


Finally got the trans out! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c9161d13e4.jpg

Don't forget to replace that POS pilot bushing with a pilot bearing. Should be a Nismo part but I'm sure someone on here has the NSK#.

I'm hoping it's included with the clutch/flywheel package otherwise I'd be really pissed.

Finished installing the ZSpeed CMAK.
I was wondering if it's normal to have it make noise as it moves back and forth? I greased everything and it still doesn't feel smooth.

The included guide isn't the best and the pictures are confusing considering they have an older version showing on there.
