I decided to not use the GTR intercoolers this time as I found a good deal on the CJM intercooler with 3” piping.

Thanks Justin!
Wish me luck that it can be finished before April this time around

so just thinking on paper here

If you were to remake both engine mount brackets to extend lower and then have a physically thinner engine mount. Is there enough room everywhere else that would allow a 3" intake off the turbo?

I know that's getting off the budget build theme but maybe for a V3 kit if there is such a demand?

Hell the z1 mounts are adjustable....hmmmmm

Yes, that would be very possible. I could get someone to make a solid mount that is an inch shorter then extend the bracket an inch lower.
My only concern is that it might not gain anything more than a few whps. If you decide to upgrade the GT-R Turbos down the road to support then it would be worth it.

So how much are you going to sell the dyi kit for? I really want to buy one.

Got awesome news from ihiryu!

He started installing my kit last week and just finished street tuning it today.

I'm really happy that he called me as he had great news and a great impression of how this kit feels on the street and how his install went with little to no issues.

He will be posting a thread this week hopefully regarding his install and I can't wait to see his dyno sheet :)

Unfortunately I cannot discuss that in this thread. Please contact me at my gmail if you have any questions.

While I'm waiting for the inlets and gaskets to arrive, here's some off topic entertainment.

First time working on a GTR and guess what I had to do? A full engine with e85, bigger Xona turbos

It wasn't that hard as much as it was really time consuming. I wish our engine bay had that extra inch or so of space

So here's something I've been thinking about. If these turbos fit, will others stock location turbos work, I mean upgraded stock size turbos.

I'm sure you have way more experience than me but I just got lucky and stumbled on this part time job :) I wish i knew how to mold that sub enclosure :O

Yep, they actually do! I've tested the turbos off this GT-R I'm working on which made 1000 whp before the rebuild, and they fit fine other than needing a little more clearance on the motor mount bracket(easy fix)

Been busy with work, school and life but finally about to put it back together this month.

This used engine has a hideous timing cover that is also leaking near the thermostat so I'm going to be changing it with my previous engine's cover.

Decided to polish it while I'm at it, about to be done soon hopefully

Progress halfway(20mins)

Finally finished that GTR build and it was done with the final tune today. Made almost 1040whp on e85!!

I'm currently finishing up the oil/coolant lines and hopefully by Wednesday I'll have everything wrapped up in that regard and will update you guys by then.

Thanks again Husam

GT-R turbos on the VQ37
 

Thank you for helping me out! Hopefully you will enjoy the boost soon :)


Going slower than I expected again :/ just ordered all the fittings for the oil/coolant lines and they came out to be almost $200 not including lines

Finally finished the timing cover and about to install it today along with the oil pan and the engine side would be finished.

Looks like you painted it.
