GT-R Turbos on the VQ engine
Hello everybody! If you haven't seen my other thread about the GT-R turbos, here is another one :happydance:
My name's Husam and I started this project almost a year ago. I officially had the engine back in by April and had it running and tuned by July. It started when I stumbled upon a very cheap set of GT-R turbos with very low miles (20k). Got both turbos and manifolds along with inlets for $700 shipped to my house. Here's a couple pictures for entertainment purposes. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...82f7922b6f.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...279d6797af.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...99dae0edfd.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...59bafc4dd2.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b1d08897ae.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...92078e8bf7.jpg Had another member who was very interested in the kit and is currently about to install his set of turbos verify that the GT-R intercoolers work without modifying them much. http://www.the370z.com/members/z-run...1-img-2708.jpg Got my new clutch and flywheel from Z1. Love how it feels compared to stock https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...fbf8d5ef9f.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5a41e449f5.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...faf878fa58.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6fb89c69df.jpg Downpipes and GT-R bovs done locally for $400 https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...981f15aae2.jpg Finally, the car ran and was dyno tuned back in August (460 whp 375 tq with a boost leak and wastegate pressure). I will be updating this thread when i have time this weekend hopefully :) :driving::driving: |
You had an issue with a motor mount right? Or was it maybe the steering column if I remember correctly ?
|
Believe it was the rack with some clearance issue.

Can't wait for the update.

Sounds like a GTR!
|
Hope there are more people getting in on this!
|
it was really cool seeing this car in person and being in it when these turbos were installed. I'm looking forward to his next project

Agreed! I believe the build thread had the forum very interested in a new idea plus seeing it actually executed (let alone in a garage with friends:woot:)! |
You definitely need to create a recipe sheet for this for those who would like to follow in your foot steps.
