This will have the same clearance on the G37s. The Y pipe connection/downpipe is a little longer but otherwise almost identical. Should be a minor mod for a manual G37s

:excited::excited::excited: I feel like I'm waiting to loose my virginity!

as i was happily reading through the each page and boom "does not work for auto"
:wtc:

give him time, he will get an auto at his shop and make it work there too.

[flame suit on, zipped, sealed...]

Why?

Take that flame suit off! No need for it here! haha :tiphat:

Aww man, I have an AT. Let me know if there are plans in the future to make something work for an AT.

I think Sasha has already made it clear that the AT has clearance issues with the oil pan etc that make it impractical to try and develop a mid mount turbo in automatics. It MAY be possible with some major modifications, but then it would no longer be what it is: a mid mount performance turbo with minimal flow disruption... sorry guys.

Bit of an update...not so exciding but I think you guys will take anything.. :lol:

All the oil stuff is done, oil cooler is installed for good, as is the scavenge pump. Turbo oil fed line is also complete, so the front bumper is close to going back on. I have to do a bit of intercooler pipe work first thing in the morning, so that I have a set of charge pipe (engine bay) to keep with me.

On to the pictures:

Getting the OE pan off, you got to use a hammer on this:

As you can see nothing is left to chance, all of this is top quality, built for performance and durablity.

Forgot to get spark plugs. Quick search shows that HKS part number: 50003-M40HL is popular. I don't think I will find these localy, any other part numbers? I understand that thay need to be set to about .035. Is there an NGK part number available?

DILKAR7B11 - Those are for NGK Iridium Plugs. They MSRP about $20 - $22 a piece.

I think these are stock plugs, correct? I would need one step colder.

I kinda skimmed through some of the thread and missed the clearance issue for the AT. The work looks amazing though! Keep the pictures coming. :)

Ahh most people just run the stock plugs, but you're right they're not one step colder.

That explains the lack of info. when I did a search. Only about 6 threads came up while searching "spark plugs".

I guess the OEM's are fine then if most people run them. I would assume that one step colder plugs are used for big builds, with upgraded rods/pistons.
