Subscribing. Best of luck with the install!

 

Ok so we got to work on the car today and yesterday. We got a lot accomplished once again.

We got the Right and Left turbos installed along with the water lines and oil lines all connected. We are going to try to put the engine back in the car tomorrow and see what happens from there.

Here are some pictures. I forgot my camera at home so I grabbed some pictures with my phone. Just a update!

Test pipes and stock Y-pipe. Wrapped the test pipes in header wrap.


The Oil and Water lines

 

A couple of days have past since my last update. We spent a lot of saturday trying to figure things out and just getting the things bolted. Today we started at Noon and worked till 5pm. We got a lot done today as well. Here are the pictures. We got the engine mounted and the only thing really left is the intercooler part and the interior for the gauges and what not.

More pictures from my phone!!

 

looks sick so far.

 

Good Luck This will be me soon!!

 

Is it just me or is that air filter sitting wrong.......how are you gonna shut the hood?

 

i only wish I had the resources to do something like this myself. good luck, looking good so far.

 

Thanks for the update!

 

Subscribing! Good Job!

 

Ok another update!! Ive been doing a lot of little things to the car these past couple of days. Yesterday I just got done with the engine and putting the front bumper back together. I also installed a tranny cooler and I relocated my power steering cooler right next to it. It looks just like a professional installed it!! Sorry hah, I am so proud of that , I had to use some fabrication skills to get it mounted right behind the bumper and next to the intercooler. Its perfect!

All that left is to install is all the electronics (boost controller, guages, utec, etc) and the fuel pump!!

I have had 1 very minor set back that is too embarrasing to post it, so ill just say that my car is going to take additional 5-6 hours to get running instead of doing it right the first time!! It upset me a lot when I found it.

Heres 2 pictures I snapped with the phone!




Hoping to get done this week!

 

was that a 350z jwt kit?


looks good bro!

 

its a custom intercooler that came with the kit whe I bought it from another user on here. it fits both g35 and 350z.

 

I don't know how you are gonna wait till Thursday to work on it again! I would have to take vacation until that thing was done!!!

Good luck - looks like fun!

 

Well its not my time I have to wait on, its the hobby shop here on base. The hours are weak, very inconvienent and they are closed on sundays tuesdays and wednesdays!! So I have to wait for them to open to get a chance to work on it again. And the days they are open, its only for a couple hours. 8 hours is the most and thats on saturday.

I was able to work on the car today after I posted that update. Routed some more wires for my electronics and got the Utec plugged in. Tore apart my back seat and got the fuel pump out, so ill work on that tomorrow when I get a chance.

I also stopped and took a look at my embarrasing screw up, tried to fix it some and mess with it, Im just too frustrated to think about it. Found out I might have even more problems because of it.

Oh well, these things are bound to happen considering this is my first time installing a turbo kit in general!!

 

Spill the beans - what did you screw up - someone else can learn from it, right? You forgot some bolts on the manifolds or turbos?

You get mad props just for tackling this challenge!
