Yeah after sanding and polishing it never came out even so I decided to just paint and put a clear coat over it. I didn't want my engine to look that oxidized

I also found a set of turbo's with only 3k miles on them. Waiting to see if I win the bid but fingers crossed!

Hopefully you can snag them up for under $600! I can't wait to see your car running around with this kit :)


Finally getting closer!
All my fitting are coming in tomorrow so I can finally finish the coolant and oil lines and everything is looking good so far thankfully.

Didn't do much today as I found out I don't have push lock hoses or coolant fittings but hoping I'll have then Friday so I can finish on the weekend.

This coolant fitting makes everything look way cleaner than before and will help a lot with heat hopefully.

Is that the picture messing with me or did you find an oil galley in the block to feed the passenger turbo from?

also lemme know if you're making more of those coolant adapter blocks.

I was planning on using the throttle body coolant nipples and welding/brazing Tee fittings in both locations

No you are correct. I found it on the passenger side and used an m8 1.25 banjo for the turbo feed line.

I am making a couple more of those coolant adapters. Pm/text me for more info :)

I'm pretty much done and would of had the engine back in if it wasn't for the stupid auto crank spacer. Still trying to figure that out and hopefully engine will be back in before the weekend.

Meanwhile I finally finished a few things on the car itself. Fuel pump basket modified and walbro 450 installed along with fixing a few broken bolts here and there on the chassis. Also finished installing the steering rack brace and the subframe brace is finally back on!

Nice!

What are you planning to do with the drivers side oil feed? Reuse the pressure sensor adapter?

Yes, I'm using that adapter to feed the driver side turbo and an oil pressure sensor.

Here's a few more pics for you guys :)

Also, I'm trying to run my new exhaust setup very similar to this one. Hopefully I can figure out someone who has something similar for sale. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b56ffb66d5.jpg

GT-R turbos on the VQ37
 
Engine's finally back in and I cranked it before installing to double check leaks and oil pressure a s everythings good so far!
Going to the exhaust shop this week to make a few downpipes then after that it's time to figure out the location of the inlet filter and tune shortly after

Any suggestions you guys have?

Fabbing the downpipes has taken longer than I had expected but hoping it's going to be done Friday. I'm also expecting my ported lower and upper manifolds today along with my injectors!

For anybody that was wondering, the passenger side oil source did turn out to be functional as I tested it by cranking the engine over and checking the turbo drain line.

Here's a couple teasers :)
