pauter rods
cp pistons 8.5.1
arp studs

also replacing the crank and oil pump.. my block was fine...


engine is at the builder right now....also upgrading the aps acuators.. and 1 mile after brake in of my engine i will be upgrading the injectors to rc 650's and putting in the ats twin disc clutch and dropping the UTEC in...and cranking this boost up.. wish me luck .. lets shoot for 600+ rwhp

to go where no 2005 g35 has gone before.. haha

 

good job, but why are you replacing the crank?

 

look below

 

His rod end bearings went on Cylinder #6 and chewed up the crank shaft pretty bad. There currently is no company that makes an oversized bearing to aloow for machining of the crank shaft. His crank shaft is basically thrashed from the rod slapping around on it after the bearing sheared apart.

 

Sorry to hear about the crank. keep your eye on the prize dog and i look forward to you blowing my doors off when you get home.

 

Para, sorry to hear about the engine...good luck in the future...

 

Hey Jimmy - I couldn't help but notice in your install pics that there were chunks of metal already in your oil pan before installing the turbo. Is there anyway to tell if the motor was already on its way out prior to the APS being installed? That would probably freak a few folks out that a stock 05 motor with low miles could have that problem. I think Ducatiguy had the same issue if I'm not mistaken on his stock 03 motor.

 

So aside from that theory what is the real theory on the motor? It's promising to see a car with a couple thousand miles blow with the APS TT.

Was boost up too high? Running lean? What were the conditions and...well...why?

 

Low oil was the issue on Para's car. He was 2 Quarts low.

 

The facts are....
We had to add almost 3 qts of oil to the engine when we got it.The failure was most likely to lack of oil.It is unknown what conditions contributed to the low oil level in the first place.Perhaps sustained detonation from such a lean tune. Or perhaps the overrevving of 7400 rpms on a stock TT motor.This is one reason I do not like reflashes and dissagree with the raising of the revlimiter on a stock motor. these are not theories..

 

whats the deal on the actuators? any news? btw i didnt have a reflash...also what do you think about upgrading the radiator and getting an oil cooler? my girl wants my xmas list and i think those two would be nice..

 

The actuators...I will know if they work in my car this week
If you went to AAM they reflashed your ecu most likely..
The radiator is a good idea but its a pain in the *** to install!!!
Oil cooler couldnt HURT you any,but wont be needed unless your doing auto cross or open lapping at a race track..

 

they didnt reflash.. i said no reflash.. they wanted to tho... i told them no reflash cause at the time it wouldnt do anything to the 05 g35 6mt anyways..

sweet i cant wait to see what you put out ... im excited now. come on you know you want to put a radiator in while my car is just sitting there waiting for the engine.. lol btw are you getting a boost controller for the new actuators? or is the utec gonna handle that?

 

To do the radiator we have to cut a crap load of your fan shroud away..PITA..
Im usinf the TX Dtec boost controller..

 

Glad things are coming togeather for ya! Im so happy to see my car back running again. It would have sucked to go through the install and have to do it all over again!
