I'm so glad this thread is a sticky. I wouldn't have known about protecting the AC line if this wasn't a sticky. I just bought my JWT popcharger a few weeks ago and I recently installed it. I also got a Z-tube when I bought the p/c. Thank you for all the questions and answers everybody... (im still learning )

this is very important. my line has a rubbed hole in it now.
i cant believe i missed this thread

 

will any wire loom do, or should i look for high temp stuff?

 

anyone know if pop charger from a 350z fit the G35??? thanks

 

Can't see why it wouldn't

 

i'm ordering a z tub/ popcharger, what is the best way to protect it, wire loom?

 

I just checked and i have alot of clearence, at least 3 inches. Maybe my mechanice moved the stuff around but still glad this thread is hear for people who have problems.

 

THREE inches? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? Yeah some stuff must have definitely been moved around!

I just put my JWT+Z on tonight, I'll have to go take care of the A/C line tomorrow afternoon, perhaps I'll go with some "engine bling" while I'm at it haha.

 

I spoke to my mechanic and maybe my measuring is not the best but he said that he did move the things around to make sure nothing would rub but i measured today and its about 2 on the part that usually rubs. I'll try to get pictures up as soon as I can.

 

Better fix than wrapping. Just space out the bolt that holds the z-tube to the plenum. That should be spaced the same amount as the plenum spacer. No rubber. 1/2" clearance here.

 

When I installed my Z tube, I protected that little AC line with a small piece of rubber fuel line split down the middle - easy

 

i installed today...but its making "sweaking" sounds when i accelerate what did i do wrong...?

 

Maybe a loose clamp or rubbing somewhere; a shot of spray silicon might help locate the squeaky area...

 

a shot...where?

 

...wellll that's a good question. I was thinkin any where you suspect it might be rubbing - to see if the squeak temporarily goes away. Spray just one area at a time to try and find the offending area. Just because I've never had to do this one myself doesn't mean I not an expert - and you can have a big lol on me when my AC line blows...
