Ahhh, I see that is different then. Cell is right, the down pipe would not bolt up to that. With boost, an aftermarket exhaust is always a good idea anyway because the OEM mufflers are usually baffled too much, and impede flow. I have cut some apart, and they are just horrible as far as flow goes. The Nismo may be better than a regular OEM exhaust, but still baffled. A true straight through muffler is best for forced induction. |

When, ever you go into production with your kit, I may end up having you make a custom exhaust setup with the kit. That is if you do not mind. |

As of right now I have CNT TP installed and had the resonators removed. Sounds pretty good to me throaty, little rasp at high RPM though. Now after this kit is installed on my car I would more than likley want to run a 3" all they way back with some type of resonators and a couple of invidia mufflers.

Update day 3:
So I spent a lot of time screwing around with this charge piping going from the turbo to the FMIC, and I can finally say that I am very happy with the way it is turning out. The section of pipe in front of the driver side wheel stays the same: It does change after that, making a turn running behind the radiator: Looping through to the back: I am very happy with the clearances, but an oil relocation kit will be needed. When the car is down, the clearance increases even more because the sway bar dips down another 1.5”. I think the hard part is now done. On the back end the exhaust will go smoother because there is much more room to work with. Now I just have to wait for the turbo to arrive. In the mean time I will be ordering an oil relocation kit, and building the charge piping to the TB’s. |

I have to say that I'm very impressed by your work ethic and dedication to this community.
Where are you thinking of putting the oil cooler

Thanks for the props guys...It can be very frustrating building a kit for these cars the way I would want it on my own car. It is easy to cut things up so it fits ok, but very difficult to make it so that it can be installed by anybody, perfect fitting, without having to cut/trim/remove anything that came with the car.
The charge pipes are looking good, will post some pictures of that later. Today will be a shorter day than the last two, I need some rest too. Hope to have the BOV's and MAF sensor bungs weled in tomorrow morning, and that would complete all the aluminum fabrication. All the IC pipe ends will also be bead rolled, so there is no chance of ever blowing a coupler...ever. I also emailed GTM about the oil filter relocation kit they have. Hope to hear from them tomorrow. I would need one for every kit. Last edited by Boosted Performance; 04-08-2012 at 06:18 PM. |

This should be where you can find what u need for the oil filter relocation.

Now for day 4 update:
As mentioned earlier, I was working on the charge piping. The key here was symmetry, and it worked out great. The pipes going through the front rad support are 2.5”, and then switch to 2.75” diameter once in the engine bay. The MAF sensors will be as close to the TB as possible (or as far as the plug will reach). This is important because the sensor should be on in far away from any diameter transitions and turbulence, like those that the BOV would cause. Enough blabber, on to the pictures: Driver side: Passenger side: Couple of random shots: Like I mentioned, the BOV’s will go in tomorrow along with the MAF sensor housings. The turbo will also arrive tomorrow, at which point the stainless fabrication can begin. I am also looking at including an oil pan spacer with an oil drain plug. Not sure who has the best deals on those, so I will have to look around. |
