Beautiful fabrication work, the charge pipes are works of art! I really like the routing of the two intake charge pipes, can't wait to see the finished product especially with fabrication moving so quickly.

wonder if you get flow separation at the far edges of this intake? The sudden expansion might ruin the flow characteristics there...a little.

then again, after X many years in aerospace, maybe I just need to learn the car engines just don't give as much of a sh*t hahaha

and so far the piping looks EXCELLENT for the Z. well done shawn

Will the stock cross brace still be used on this build?

It is a good observation as I'm sure you're very knowledgable on flow characteristics but I feel like this is the best design for the application. The OEM manifold is similarly designed just a smaller plenum. There are also aftermarket manifolds available very close to it that have been flow tested with nice gains. But good eye! Never really thought about it until now.

Now this is a build thread!!!

Nice to see a good build thread besides the usual "circus" build threads on here.

Congrats OP.

Thank you everyone for your comments and for your love of the build, it is greatly appreciated! 13 hours of work later today, it is farther than yesterday however didn't even get a chance for more pictures! Hopefully after another 12 hour day tomorrow we can wrap this up! I was about to tell Ryan it would be done tomorrow until he stopped by this afternoon and pointed out to me I forgot to install the upgraded hydraulic throw out bearing, down the gearbox will come again tomorrow! Going to do everything I can to roll this car out tomorrow, if not it will be buttoned up on Monday and ready for tuning! I'll get some more pictures up tomorrow, thank you all again for your comments and input, stay tuned!

-Shawn-

It sure will!

Are the oem fans gonna fit back in there? Looks pretty tight from the pics, but could be the angle.

Also, to someone who mentioned using a GT35R for their theoretical 370 ST kit- IMO, a GT35R would be too small for a 3.7l engine revving as high as it does. A 37R would be a better choice, if you're stuck on Garrett.

JB-370z

If they were using a GT35 it is a nice size for sure for sure. Im sure you can get 450whp with a GT35 if not a good 550whp. A GT37 would lag just a tad more than the GT35.

you can for sure hit 550whp on a GT35R

JB-370z

Thats what I was thinking!

Chris, I agree. The 350z ST Kits with the GT35R were being topped out, and thats with less displacement. (For those that don't agree, check out m y 3 5 0 z . c o m for details) The search function is your friend, so use it. The 3.7 will definitely benefit from the GT37R.

As for this "build," great welds and craftsmanship. I tip my hat.
Your work is worth a good chunk of change. Custom = Top Dollar. Good sh!t.

Chris, the OEM fans were moved to the front of the radiator. I like what Shawn did with this. He also placed the oil cooler where the OEM fans used to be. So the fans will be blowing into the radiator and will also be cooling the oil cooler as well, even though the oil cooler will not be getting fresh air flow.

maybe fab a small scoop to go under the car and channel fresh air up to the oil cooler from underneath? wouldn't take much...
