GT-R turbos on the VQ37

ihiryu · 03-28-2017, 02:54 PM

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

Z Runner · 03-28-2017, 03:26 PM

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.

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!

Z Runner · 04-01-2017, 01:34 AM

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.

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$

husam2012 · 04-03-2017, 11:03 PM

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
