I'm just going to throw this out there, but you could start a go fund me page. I've got $5 buck for you, lol. Honestly, what you were able to do and write about on here has been fun to watch and if it costs me a cup of coffee then I'm in. I'd like to see how this turbo and motor combo develop. I know it's a hard sell to ask for money so you can hot rod your car around, but people on here would get it. Who knows you could literally raise dozens of dollars! :tup: Just saying'.

I think that's a great idea - and I'd go a step further and suggest that if you could put together a kit for sale that uses takeoff parts from GTRs, you could probably raise a good bit of money. You're knocking on the door of offering a mild turbo kit that uses stock GTR parts (reliability, QC), for way less than what's currently out there. You'd have to supply the manifold, downpipe, intercooler, and intake pipes. Customer sources the fuel and tuning. Just a thought...

Currently the car is still running fine, but i'm scared of driving it because of the eventual bearing spinning out. I do have all my gauges and flex fuel wired in. I do have some good news for you guys though! I was reading through the Ecutek guide the other day only to discover that using the GT-R map sensor on a Z makes it read 0.23 bar too high when logging it. I finally got a boost gauge and my car makes 8.5~ PSI at around 5500 then drops to less than 7 PSI near redline! It finally makes sense why I made 460~ WHP 375 WTQ |

Well there you have it. Looks like its just calibrated differently.

So I had the pleasure of meeting Husam in person since we live in the same state and couple minutes away and I just have to say, what he is doing with this car and the experiments, it's coming out really nice!

https://www.gofundme.com/help-me-fin...gtr-conversion Thank you everyone for everything along this great journey. I'm currently saving up for a used engine so I can drop my subframe and work on making a jig for inlets and downpipes to be sold with the adapter kits. I'm hoping to have enough saved up for a used engine by February so I can have the pieces ready to ship before summer. |
Awesome... funded! Keep the updates coming! Good luck!

Sent you a lil token of appreciation, hope you finalize this project and help put a lot more Boosted Z'$ on the streets!:tiphat:

Thank you everyone for your help! It's really appreciated and shows how good this community is.
I will be updating everyone as soon as I get any news :) Thanks again! |
Boom! $5 bucks as promised. Come on everyone, it's quick and easy to donate. Seriously, I hope you've enjoyed reading along as much as I have, if you have, donate so we can see it get completed and tested (flogged) properly.

Thank you! I really appreciate the help from you guys :)
Here’s a small update. Finally got a revised steering rack shim/spacer to make the oem braces fit without modification! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f73b0166f1.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
GT-R turbos on the VQ37
Mounted it on the car. The steering shaft clears perfectly while only spacing the rack down 1/2 an inch! GTM's earlier kits spaced it out by a whole inch. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e67eee7815.jpg
Also, here's some pictures of how the turbos look from the underside with the downpipes. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...123c06b677.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ffab250932.jpg Don't mind the steering shaft scratches. That was before I added any spacers at all. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...36b200e944.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f2a11d68bd.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...116c0a9d5b.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2057d88757.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...af5e10a055.jpg Budget doesn't afford me anything more than the Megan Y pipe and a open dump past the diff but it sounds perfect! My nismo exhaust is for sale if anyone wants it!! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...27206e97da.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
