GT-R turbos on the VQ37

EndlessZ

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.

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..

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

Z Runner

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?

ihiryu

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?

husam2012

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?
