Nah mate, not worth it and you've been a champion all the way through. Seems kinda petty if I demanded that and anyhow it's all sorted now.

Instead of the turbo pressure source, use the nipple on the driver side charge pipe, just before the TB.

Question. For the time being I won't be running anything but spring pressure, which is 7.5 pounds if I'm not mistaken (hoping there's a 9 pound spring in there, haven't checked). Boost Controller will come later.

How would this affect the plumbing for the Wastegates?

The harness needs to be tucked upwards. It is very easy to do, the manual covers it well, and hardware is included.[/QUOTE]


So it was fine the second time around. The issue this time was a fuse.

You just won’t plumb the controller into the system and the top of the WGs will be vented to atmosphere. When you get the BC you’ll tee off that line and plumb up the BC solenoid as directed by the manual for the controller you select. I’m purposely being vague cuz hookup will be dependent on the BC you select.

Getting super close. Flashed base ROM today and fired it up after getting most of the engine bay back to stock and everything was spot on, super smooth.

Finished wrapping the exhaust bits, prepping Wastegates and jacket is fitted to Turbo. Ended up going with the red springs on the WGs (~6 PSI) and will fit an EBC in another week or two.

Tomorrow should find out definitively whether this kit works with an RHD. Both from Filter & Turbo discharge pipework aspects... not nervous at all... :ugh2:

I’d up the spring in the WG to the half bar spring if your power goal is more than 500whp. If you run the 6lb spring you are going to be limited to 12lb with the boost controller. Not sure how many pounds people are running with that comp turbo but my PT6266 is 11.5-12lbs for 510whp.

MoulaZ 06-24-2018 09:48 AM

Still a stock motor. Don't feel comfortable pushing it past 10psi ever in it's current form. 6 & 10 psi is a happy medium, that was the reason behind it.

And how come I'd be limited to 12 pounds? Is there something I'm not aware of with these WGs? Cause back in the Z32 days it wasn't uncommon by any stretch for those with stock WGs (6lb) to hit 12-18 with a good EBC.

All the BCs I’m familiar with limit you to 100% of WG pressure, so you can only run twice the pressure of the spring.

Holy crap what a frustrating afternoon. Spent 3 hours fighting with the discharge pipes trying to get them to fit. Gave up and ended up going a slightly different route. Bought a 2.5" 45deg 300mm long silicone coupler that ended up taking over the mid section around the engine mount; from there I used that smaller 2.5" aluminium pipe with a dent in it to bring it to the 2.25 pipe. I used the included 2.5 to 2.25 straight reducer and it 'just' fits, though I've ordered a 2.5 to 2.25 45 deg coupler to swap it out later with. Didn't end up using the included 2.5" 90 deg aluminium pipe, which was the biggest source of my frustration, but at least the discharge pipework is done now from Turbo to IC.

I test fitted the Filter and it ended up fouling a little on the small hardlines at the base of the steering column but not the column itself. I've trimmed 10mm off the filter coupler and will give it another crack tomorrow. It's going to be a tight fit, but I believe it'll work.

That's odd. I've never heard of that, I've used HKS and GFB in the past and didn't hear that coming up. I was running 16lb on stock 6lb WG springs with my Z32 using a HKS EVC4 EBC years back.

Heat shield would be nice. Please don’t forget

hc_416 06-25-2018 09:42 PM

If you could keep me in mind for the heat shield and air filter in the front kit please.
