We set filter up by bell housing, lined it up, secured it with one bolt. Put filter on then tighten remainder of bolts

It's the worst part of the install by far.

It helps tremendously if you have someone to hold the charge pipe steady while you push on the turbo. Oil the hell out of the coupler and turbo.

^^^^ This.

A bit of oil on the charge pipe that slides in to the coupler will go a long way. I can do it with my eyes closed :). I will be looking at making this part of the install a whole lot simple....if all goes according to plan of course.

Im real good at it now haha

The biggest problem I have had is getting the freaking clamps on. The one on the turbo compressor housing and the one beside the oil sandwich adaptor took the most time over everything on the kit for me.

Sometimes one can get a bit frustrated, and then it just compounds. I have found that when I do get frustrated or can't figure something out, it is best to walk away for a bit and then come back to it. 99% of the time, you can get the part that was such a pain done in a couple of minutes. At least that has been my experience with working on cars.

My girlfriend won't let me work in it today :( cause I got so mad at it yesterday. Haha she said I need a break from garaging

Oh, I have a leak where the line connects to the oil reservoir on the turbo. I know someone else had an issue with one, it may have been that specific one. What did you do to fix it. I have already made sure it was really snug, and I don't really want to tighten it any more because i dont want to damage it. Should I try some thread paste? It MAY be leaking from the actual body of the an end rather than the threads, so idk what the heck to do lol.

Can you put the charge pipe on first then run it up front?

Not likely. I tried... several times. Unless you're some kind of metal pipe turbo whisperer, it's not going to happen.

I can send you a complete new line, just let me know.

Correct, that charge pipe has to go in from the front.

My leak was not that line, it was a different one, and it was leaking from the seal where the line goes into the fitting, it eventually went away after adjust the lines, also with these lines, make certain there is no pressure on them, or they will not seat and leak. As for the turbo, since I have hand it on and off several times now, make sure all the front charge pipes are installed, and I tighten all the clamps up front, this makes the charge pipes resist moving, then you can slide the turbo outlet into the coupler. There is not much, but there is room there to slide and twist the filter forward and put it on after. Just a suggestion, but in my head I could not figure out why the turbo outlet has a angle on it, it seems to me if it were straight many of these issues would go away, even after everything is mounted it still at an angle a in the coupler, at least mine is. If you want to change your trans fluid, do it BEFORE you put the manifold on! Everyone I have shown this kit to now installed is uberly impressed btw, Dyno on Friday!:happydance:

I only have haltech experience. So is there more of a step by step to this?

I agree. I too was thinking why is this thing angled?

Not really. Turn car on but don't start it. Have laptop turned on. Plug cable into laptop and odb2 port. Open Osiris. It'll detect ecu and the number will be in the on the left side of the window a few lines down. You can also open Cipher and when you tell it to connect to ECU it is shown in the pop up window.

So do I download cipher?

Gotcha. Thanks Sasha! Maybe that comes with the kit. Looks like mine was held up by customs an extra day so didn't make it here Friday. Monday for sure though.

K I'm gonna go attempt this again... If I don't get it car is forsale lol

Attempting the turbo alignment? That and the demon bolts were very frustrating for me.

I got the demon bolts no problem. 4ft extension and a good socket. Came off like butter.

Got the turbo aligned! I can do it with my eyes closed now haha

Hey, kind of a stupid question but is my car supposed to start without a base tune? I tries a couple times and it sputters and dies. I'm gonna send my ecu number to Sasha tomorrow so I guess it doesn't really matter... I just wanted to check for leaks

I faintly remember my z starting with 600cc injectors. Is 750 to much without a tune to run and idle ?

Check your MAF plugs. Can you hear the fuel pump whine when you key on?

Yup all my plugs are good. I only tried a couple time. I didn't do my fuel pump as I already have one in from my last turbo kit that's been in there for 10,000 km.

Hmm did you let it prime for a few before trying to start it?

Those injectors are a lot larger than stock, but the car should start. It will be very rich though. Just send me the ECU part number and I will get you the base map.

Is it supposed to start even with the bigger injectors tho? With no base tune ?

Mine started and idled pretty well on the stock map

Word Sasha, I'll send it to you tomorrow. I'm done for the night .

I know Sasha already answered your question but I did update my response as I had the location a little off as I was doing it from memory. Had to pull mine this evening to get to Sasha and that's when I realized I misspoke.

No prob. Jwick.


2 questions.

1. If I pumped all the gas out of my tank from the pump housing, passenger, side, does it pull it from the drivers side as well? Do I still have a few gallons of gas in it? Im going E85 so I need to clean it out.

2. WTF is the syringe for in the kit?..lol. Ive read the install manual 3 times and have never seen where the syringe comes into play.

Very end you must prime scavenger pump. Use syringe to do that

What he said!

As for the fuel tank itself. No clue. I would tend to believe you still have some on the driver side. How you check or remove if you have it, you'll have to ask an expert... i.e. Ask Phunk.

The driver side also has an access panel to the tank as well of I'm not mistaken

Oh ok. Thanks. And by reading the manual I meant looked at the pictures really close. Im that pop up picture book kind of guy..lol.

Reading is fundamental

Me too lol!

I also left the fuel pump disconnected while I primed the pump. Cranked it a few times, hooked up fuel pump and fired right away
