Topgunz - air to air upgrade

DUSHER · 11-12-2019, 12:48 PM

I work at a dealership so I tried using an aerosol silicon lubricant. The rear throttle body connects up fine its the front one that is being a pain in the ***. Its almost as if the pipe needs to be dropped down further but to do that ill need to start cutting in to the metal.

Mine was def a PITA to get installed. But after ample cussing & lots of Windex & lots of wiggling of the Y pipe, I was able to get it to fit. You certainly shouldn't need to cut anything.

Has anyone removed just the supercharger? Looking for info on which bolts need to be removed, loosened, and what is involved in removing and reinstalling just the SC. Filter and hose couplers are no problem, just bolts and or belts are my question. This is part of a intake/filter redesign project. Unfortunately, I didn’t install or get to inspect this before it was installed so I don’t have a lot of info on how things are put together back there. Pics would be helpful. Thank you!

Engine went pop today doing final tuning on E85.

Depending what it is they are thinking it's a rod, but I'm going to see the tuners tomorrow for logs/check damage etc.. I'm going to ask for dyno sheets they got up to with air fuel ratios etc..

Anyone had to rebuild a motor in here, best sort of parts to go with?

What was your fuel setup to support E85?

I've got the S1.SE fuel kit but with a walbro 525 in it now instead of the 340, IDX 1050's for injectors.

All good will be back, not sure if I should go a built motor or just throw another 2nd handy in and go nuts

What power did it make when it let go? What were your injector duty cycles?

I am guessing you ran out of injector, she went lean and let go. That is what happened to my turbo build back in the day.

Waiting on all that info man, injectors can't keep up with 1050 idx?

Do you know what best parts I should be looking at? Trying to do a lot of research now, I need to get another block as mine now has a hole in it but thinking of just doing pistons/rings/rods/headstud kit and calling it a day, anything else? Maybe a nismo oil pump as well?

I'll have mine for sale if you want to buy the v1 kit. probably gonna sell it for 1,200.

NissanTracker · 05-24-2020, 10:18 PM

Just got the V1 kit installed on my 350z HR. Was not too bad. Like the first time though, some triming there and there. I'll throw a write up when I'm completely done. Have some 1050x's coming. Still on the Walbro 255 and stock cats as well. I'm shooting for 425whp... Trying to stay conservative.

I was able to use the intercooler brackets. Just had to trim the bolt holes on the ends and use a large washer in the middle of the bracket. Had to trim the 45* coupler from supercharger to lower IC pipe. From there, another 45* coupler to the Tial pipe (straight coupler was not going to do). Some trimming where the y pipe goes through the radiator support. A bit of trimming of the front radiator support. Yeah, y pipe was a bit difficult.
