You do that

Ok JB I will ask my questions:

Why are you re-using Stillen Gen 3 piping?
Is the piping viable for the the extra air being pushed through?
How has cooling been? Not just oil, but water temps?

Kewl. Looks realy kewl.

I'm trying to understand that manifold piping going to the hot-side of the turbo. It looks as if it has to make a 270 degree turn at one point, right into oncoming air from the other side of the engine. Maybe I am not seeing it right, but that seems terribly inefficient.

It doesn't look much worse than mine

-They re-used stillen piping to save money I guess.
-It's not but they are compensating by using upgraded MAFs
-Don't know lol

Custom piping is not that expensive if already are making that much for this turbo.
My concern is the stillen setup was designed & tested for a single purpose, whether you upgrade the MAF still questions the structure of the pipe. Also, how did they merge from gen 3 piping to custom?

u know what they say.. every penny counts. I say lets wait on O&G and see what he posts.

Right, but see how your pipes come together such that both exhaust flows are pointed in the same direction? It appears to me that in the picture of the Jtran setup that the exhaust flows are actually opposing each other at a sharp bend before heading towards the turbine.

Woah, I was waiting for the Dynojet numbers on Thursday to do a writeup, etc... Stillen pipes were used because we wanted to get the car to the show in time, we had upgraded MAFS at the shop so we just threw them in. It's my bday today so I'm taking off work, going to the shop to get some better pics of hotside piping, etc.... The car sounds amazing, I'm happy, saving to build motor and up boost!

I guess they did a writeup on our local forum! lol

We just finished my single turbo build at JTran Studios in Houston, Texas. This isn’t my first rodeo, I had a 2003 twin turbo 350z for many years, fully built, 550whp, etc… First, I’d like to thank Johnny, Amber, Mike and lil man Lakai at JTran Studios for everything they’ve done for me and my Z’s over the years, best peoples I know ! Shout out to 98intrigue here on the forums for stepping out of the box and tackling all the headaches first, made my life a lot easier, thanks buddy! I decided to go single because I’ve had twins before, I wanted something different. Johnny has designed and made crazy power with single kits on the DE and HR VQ platforms so I thought I’d let him have a go on my 40th Anniversary 370Z. We decided on a mid-mount set-up off the transmission for a few reasons, less exhaust piping, I eventually want to go around the track with this car and didn’t want to worry about heat in the engine bay. There isn’t a kit like this (for our cars) out there, it’s similar to the APS single turbo system for the 350z, but better of course  It also gives a stealthier look to the engine bay because you can’t see the working end. Johnny chose the water-cooled CT4-6265 because of the mounting location and also to do something different. We did fabricate the system so a wide variety of turbos can be installed for power needs, etc… Johnny is building a jig for this turbo setup so he can reproduce them for the 370z and G37. There is NO timeframe on this at the moment, but I can say he will be able to reproduce this kit for customers. When I build a car I’m big on supporting mods for the cooling system, drive train, suspension, heat protection, etc… so you will see that reflected in my parts list. I like to make sure once the cars done I can play for a little bit w/o having worry about it/work on it. I am already planning on building the motor sometime next year so I want it to last till then!
