fsuz32 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Alright so heres a few before pictures of the z and its new garage Old setup^^ Anyways... new setup is consisting of the following: 71mm Holset hx52 single throttle body plenum with Q45 90mm tb top feed rails w/ 900cc injectors twin walbro pumps water/air intercooler aem lots of other misc stuff but thats the major stuff. Also, interior is getting redone black w/ new carpet car will also be getting repainted white and the engine bay black. My new toy (idk what happened to my picture of it, but between these 2 you get the idea) ThermalArc 185 Tig,...i love this thing and the reason behind all this nonesense motors out, old setup is all off, bye bye twins the replacement: Play time is over. radiator positioning, ignore the ghetto mounts, i just wanted to see how it fit up. and lastly, a before and after of my engine bay to this point: before... after... cut out the battery tray (all rust is just surface rust so it will all be grinded down when the bay gets painted. alright well manifolds are done (tackin wise) w/ collectors and vbands. and got my fuel fittings/fpr Heres some pics of the manifolds in the car, I can remove either one with no trouble with the motor in I ended up shortening the passengerside about a inch to clear the turbo better, but this is where the turbo is going to be sitting in the bay. and the intercooler (which is going under the nose panal) Thats all for right now, should have the cross over done by the end of this weekend hopefully, then time to start on the intake manifold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fsuz32 Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 car went a best of 10.8@124 on boost. Car is a th400 btw, never got a clean pass on the bottle. This setup i'm going for single digits on a bone stock long block, we'll see what happens lol. I'm just trying to get the setup done. After that, i'm going to be building a block/heads on the side while i mess around w the stock motor and when it pops or i get eveything together it will be getting a bigger single and i'llbe going for 8's but thats a long ways away.

fsuz32 Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 made a bracket for twin wabro's, fits like a glove, just need to source another stock sock for the 2nd pump got a jig made to hold the turbo for the crossover. and how the turbo will sit, dont mind the angle iron, the jig isnt welded completly and i didnt want it to snap lol from the 40lb turbo weight lol fits pretty good....should have the cross over done tomorrow and hopefully get the intercooler mounted as well.

sq_creations Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 looking good. how is the exhaust going to exit? Threw the fender or a really tight 90? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsuz32 Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 exhaust is going through the fender. Heres some pics of the crossover done. I am going to redo the drive side vband and move it back a couple inches so it's not so close to the cold pipe. and a waterbox for the water/air just waiting for my gas lense to get here then I will be welding up the crossover/manifolds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fsuz32 Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 got some updates... Also got a new lip for the car and I have had these turn signalsfog light ducts sitting around forever so this will be the new front end when i go to get it painted The intake manifold has gone through a couple revisions But this is the final one, It's not finished yet, brining the valve covers/lower plenum to get cleaned monday. I cut the roof of the plenum off so thatI can weld the inside around the ports and smooth them out. Also drilled the lower plenum for the injectors, they are going to sit alot lower, just havnt cut the bungs yet. Thats all for now, was hoping to get alot done this week but I caught a cold and have been in bed/playing xbox for the last 2 days lol. But I should have the intake mani finished by the end of this week and the valve covers flattened as well. The goal to finish it by is the first week of jan so ima have a good xmas break working on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fsuz32 Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 havn't updated this thread in a while but heres what i've been working on... Got the fuel rails done, Intake manifold some what together and also cut the tops off the valve covers: Also picked up my aem My origional plan was to run twin walbro intank pumps, but the more I think about it i'm leaning towards going with a single external. I have looked at aeromotive eliminators but have read that even witht he voltage controller they still run hot on street cars. I've seen a couple people run a magnafuel pump and i'm really leaning towards going that route. Anyone have any experience with these pumps? http://www.magnafuel.com/products/efi/pumps/MP-4301.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Nice setup. Kinda similar to my equal length front mount turbo headers:mrgreen: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyFairLady Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 ok forgive my ignorance, but this started out as a TT or Na? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsuz32 Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 Nice setup. Kinda similar to my equal length front mount turbo headers:mrgreen: Those headers look awsome! nice setup. Do you have the turbo braced at all? Are they 16g? ok forgive my ignorance, but this started out as a TT or Na? The car started its life as a na 300zx, swapped in a tt motor in 2005 and the madness began Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
