sq_creations Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 You'll need to run the alternator directly to the battery and nothing else. Then run the battery to the kill switch and the kill switch to everything else. I ran to starter then fuse box etc. I have the push off style switch. The reason is when you push the kill switch the alternator can keep the car running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I keep hoping there is some way to avoid running another large gauge cable all the way down the frame rail, but I guess it must be. I've seen some wiring diagrams that are crazy with extra circuit brakers, diodes and all kinds of crazy stuff. Heard lots of speculation about powering down the ECM causing problems. Seems like that stuff is just so much BS. Will knock it out based on your advice and post-up a thread on it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thisguy Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 any updates on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sq_creations Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 The new forward facing turbo mount will bolt in to the chassis and the turbochargers will attach to the center section on the oil feed flange side. The new cam comes from Tick performance and is custom spec'd to this build. The valve train is being fortified with BTR .660 lift spring kit. Thank you again Road Runner Eye Mart for the support.

SUNNY Z Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I wish people would make mirror image turbos for someone other than Nelson Racing. They make setups look sooo much cleaner. I like the brace btw. Should do the job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sq_creations Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 I agree on the mirror image turbos. I'm hoping it looks cool merging into the intercooler though. I'm hoping to get some more progress on the car this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thisguy Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) Ive started mocking my twins up this week. I had to cut some holes in the fenders but the placement is perfect to run a dual inlet/outlet intercooler and 2.5 MAYBE 3'' exhaust under the manifolds and outback. Loving your build.. hoping to incorporate a few of the things your doing into mine. Edited October 29, 2013 by Thisguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sq_creations Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 One of the things I have wanted to improve is getting in and out of the car easier. The swing out bars from CCE didn't open quite far enough. This is a design I saw on the internet and had replicated. It started as solid mild steel and was machined into what you see. They are pretty beefy and should withstand a impact I hopefully will never have. To get the turbo mounting brace in the desired position the fender needed some more material. Filler metal was added to the inner fenders and then the bracket itself welded in. The turbo's are now in there new location. In an attempt to visualize the intercooler placement I used some duct tape to hang it. It sort of worked. There are 12 inches from the back of the turbo brace to the throttle body. I want the intercooler as close to the t-body as possible so the air doesn't heat up again. I laid out the pipes to see how they would fit. The goal here is to maximize air flow and velocity into the core. I'm leaning toward mirroring the original t-body side tank so I can have a more direct inlet from the turbo. (Oct. 2013) The new intercooler endtank for the turbo side along with the new bov flange. The bov flange will need to be shortened and possibly angled to clear the radiator fan. I also got the cam in the motor and degreed. The head is only temporarily on to check clearances. It still needs the ARP studs and ls9 gaskets added.

Thisguy Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) I dont remeber if you are running coolant or oil cooled turbos? If oil where are you pulling the oil from? Edited November 8, 2013 by Thisguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sq_creations Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 They are oil cooled. I have a feed block from right above the oil filter. http://www.sq-creations.com/240z/cncoilblock.jpg Got another update: The first picture is of the new mount to support the air to water intercooler. Next is the inlet side piping being fitted. Then the throttle body side being fitted. Finally on this round is the bov pipe being mocked up. Now its time to work on the hot side pipes feeding the turbos. First up is the drivers side pipe. I got started on the passengers side but didn't get finished on this round.

(Nov. 2013) I have a block off plate like that on mine. I wouldnt have thought that size hole could flow enough oil for two turbos, thanks for the idea. I might thave to try that.

sq_creations Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 Got an exciting update this round. The passenger pipe feeding the turbo is in place. Now its time to build the twin 3 inch exhaust that merges into a 4 inch magnaflow muffler. The Driver side pipe is feed into a 3 to 4 inch transition cone before it makes the roller coaster turn. Then the passenger side gets merged right before the muffler. Finally for this round are the wastegates getting positioned. Had a little hiccup on this round though. One of the casters on my harbor freight welding cart came apart while being repositioned and everything almost toppled over. I caught it and now have new casters on the cart.
