DIY twin turbo Z

ozyo · 09-05-2019, 04:40 PM

Hi everyone
Z is slow, so I'm fixing it

I'm not sure about my end goal (750~850whp on 98 octanes)
I don’t know what I'm doing

I learn as I go
Anyway to the part list (for now)
- X2 g25 550
- X2 40mm Turbosmart GenV Wastegate
- Intercooler (not sure\custom?)
- DW400 Fuel Pump (maybe)
- ID1300X Injector
- id750 fuel filter
- mazworx VQ35DE exhaust flange (custom manifold)

these things not small not at all they barely fit in

I came up with a way to know the available space for turbo and manifold using cardboard
You don’t need to remove the engine, but it will help

Match cardboard to the car and cut it starts at the engine mount

Keep doing that till you cover all the area you want

Now find any sheet metal and cat it to cardboard shape
I find this

Now weld them to the mount

Now mount it to the engine

Here I did it without removing the engine

You can also do that to manifold flange if you want to work somewhere else

For now, I'm waiting for wastegate to finish the manifold

If you guys have any suggestions, please let me know

(Not Hating) But the quality of workmanship is pretty close to ghetto imo

700+ hp.

Good Luck!

Me too. I'll bite. I started body work this way. I messed up a lot, but I learned a lot.

All I can think of is to be careful how close those turbos are mounted to the body of the car. Dont forget that the engine shifts around. Those snails might slam into the body and put stress on the manifolds, causing a crack/leak.

Good luck! Definitely some outside the box thinking here, which I like.
