Making an IPL a True IPL - 2011 G37 Build Thread

[Gajewski]

I hear ya there, that AFR would be nice to be visible.. you are making me rethink it .

Going to pick up an oil pressure gauge this week and install it when I get the second oil cooler from Sasha. While on the topic of gauges, do you have a water temp gauge j?

I've been researching and it seems the best option might be to go with a radiator hose type probe.. Going to look into it further.

My Greddy EBC reads boost pressure but I prefer an analog gauge to a digital on boost cuz I pick it up by position.

The beauty of these builds is we each set them up he way we want

So for your progress

Yup and a sensor in the hose is exactly what I have. I bought this one from Z1.

That mounting in the ashtray is sweet!

Does that model of profec require a vacuum line to the actual unit? If so be careful that you don't pinch the hose behind the dash when fishing it thru.

After a weekend of a much needed cleaning and polishing of my wheels.. Decided to ship out the clutch/flywheel/CSC install. Going to have Nissan do that so I don't have to worry about it. Other things going on:

Got the water temp adapter installed. -Thanks JWick

Now onto the electrical, not my strong suit. Thinking about adding a fuse to the drivers side box but was hoping to stay on the passenger side to avoid running a bunch of wires.




Looking forward to hearing from Sasha so I can start my count down to Boost!

Slight update:

Took delivery of my Boosted Performance Turbo kit and got the hot side pipes wrapped up. Will continue install this weekend.

Thank you sir! Looking forward to some exciting progress with this car.

Making some headway today. Due to the fact that I will be running two oil coolers with this kit I will need to do some custom brackets for the front mount. The brackets provided with the kit just don't clear the passenger side oil cooler. I dry fit everything up today to ensure that there is clearance to the front bumper and there is . I will be fabbing up some test brackets this week then ensuring they align front mount to the rest of the piping.

Slight delay overall in the project in that I didn't get scheduled at the tuner until 4/24 but with the added time I can work through any speed bumps I may encounter.




It's going to sit flush with the stacked coolers.





Also while I was under the car today I got thoroughly frustrated with the splash guarding and the cheap plastic failing left and right. Picked up a Zspeed powder coated aluminium splash guard. Hope it will clear the oil pan spacer but that's just another thing that I can deal with while I wait for the tuner.


I will update as I go and thank's everyone for their support and help.

Noticed you have the intercooler zip tied. Did you test fit everything with the intercooler angled on the bracket? There's no flexibility in the charge piping so it'll have to mount that way.

FYI...the ZSpeed try (V2) clears the oil pan spacer

How did you run two oil coolers. Just linked them in series with hoses?

[jwick]

Looking good btw

Off topic, but are you doing all this work in a parking garage???

I had the intercooler zip tied to test the brackets out. Allowed me to re-position the intercooler then throw another set of zip ties at it, measure, repeat.

With the charge piping - my thought there is that I'm rotating the intercooler about the bottom inlet axis making all tubing from the turbo OK (in theory). Doing so will shorten the length the charge piping needs to go. If too much for the silicone adapters I can modify one of the pipes in the line, re-bead roll it and that will account for the shortened length. I think only time will tell if this will work. I'll find out once I get more time under the car to test fit all the piping.


Oil Pan Spacer - - Thank you again. Got that one.

For the oil coolers - exactly Sasha was kind enough to do me up a Hose that is about 10 inches in length.. From my initial fit up it could be too long (side note, I can adjust it if need be). But overall, I will sent oil to the driver's side oil cooler, which is bridged to the passenger side oil cooler, then back to the thermostatic plate. In the long term I will probably swap the Setrab cooler I have in there now for a like 30 row that is on the driver's side.

Not exactly my apartment building has parking on the first few floors where I did a lot of the intro stuff. Now with the fab work I will have to move to a buddy's shop. No more bolt on magic for me it seems.

Love everything you are doing bro

You are a nut case for working on the car w/a garage! ! I hate it when I get hungry or Ned a tool or to simply walk away from the car and have to worry about thieves.
