Turbo M35's.

Can you please tell me how the single turbo is setup on your cars.

I am just curious as the whole thought of slapping a TT on the car seems silly if you can get a big single in there no worries. I think the 3.5 would handle a big single well with minimal lag.

So can you explain to me how they do it on your cars.

Is there a cross over pipe from one bank to the others?

Is the turbo mounted low in the bay??

etc etc.....

Cheers.

The NM35 HAS a single turbo set up.

It's low down on the passengers side, and brings a balance pipe around the top of the bellhousing, joining into the passenger side manifold. The space is limited, and this compromises manifold design, and turbo size.

I would imagine the issue with twin turbos is interference from the steering column on the drivers side. Still, there are TT kits for 350Z, and the basic architecture in the engine bay is similar, so I'd be looking that way to begin with.

I have a manifold here, I think it will bolt straight up to yours but the turbo is too small and I havent seen a bigger turbo that will come close to fitting.

If you wanted to go down the custom manifold route, a single gt30/35 on the lower passenger side should still work.

What are you thinking?

It seems you are the most experienced in this. I was reading about the G 35 APS kit. I'm just thinking the most reliable easily accessible heat efficient option.

I'm sure you have covered every option out there. Feel free to fill me in on the positives and negatives on them.

The more I look into it. The more I feel Nissan didn't want this car modified.

Yeah, I think its been worked out that the VQ25 turbo set up would physically bolt on to a VQ35 straight up. But the turbo couldn't handle 3.5 litres of grunt :rolleyes:

When looking for turbo kits, you have to account for 2 things mate- 1, has to be able to fit a RHD, and 2, has to be able to fit a AWD. So what your looking for is a G35x turbo kit, that can be mounted for RHD. Have a look through this turbo kit site. I don't know where you would go for engine management, if you went down that path.

Alternatively, there is plenty of supercharged kits out there too! lots of options :blink:

Bejesus. Options galore. Thanks.

Anyone bought anything this expensive without being hit by massive tax at customs.

Most of the kits dont have a very good manifold setup and you have to ditch the airbox on the single kits. It would be best to custom make a manifold for your choice of turbo and the new gtx Garrett turbos would be the pick atm. GTX 30 .82 in the stock vq25det location would flow enough I think.

Unfortunately the rods in the vq35de are thinner and weaker than the factory turbo rods, this is to help them rev. I would suggest new bearings, pistons and rods from the states before fitting any forced induction kit.

Ok that makes sense. That's extra coin I hadn't counted on in the immediate future, but I guess that's why I am asking.

Thats why most of the kits seem to be set around 6 psi... some up to 8.5. Way below what the turbo's are actually capable of. If you were to do it, I guess mount up the twin kit, drive it and sort the gearbox while it makes 6 psi. Then when the banks recovered, go blow up the motor with some boost and rebuild with some capable internals :D

Either that go leave it NA and tune that way- which is easy too...

Anyway, parts for our cars mainly come out of the states- the G35 has a massive following.

If I had unlimited coin I'd buy just about everything here to make a high rev NA VQ35. Swappy gearbox to MT / RWD and reduce the weight... somehow :D

Every time I look at that inlet manifold I get a stir downstairs! :D

Bahh, engine driven superchargers are for pussies, unless theres a turbo in front of it... :D

The 6psi limit isn't because of weak rods, it is due to detonation as the stock compression is too high for FI. This can easily be rectified with E85, unfortunately the rods will break with the extra torque and when that happens there will be no resurrecting the engine.

Actually, even the kits that lower comp to 8.5-8.8 keep the low pressure.... due to weak rods :D

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      Ah. OK. I take it back. I hadn't looked closely at the R33/4 arms and presumed that GKTech did as GKTech do everywhere else, which is to use sphericals there. The poly bushings are made to be 100% interchangeable, should use the standard bolt just fine. Every other bush in every other place in pretty much every other car, does.

      @silviaz Ok cool, so much easier with a video. I can see why this video would be confusing for new players.   It is obvious that this entire bonnet is going to be resprayed, have a look in the background around 2:05, you can see a bunch of bare metal on the left side of the bonnet.  It's not an issue for the primer being laid down on the non-prepped clear on the bonnet. It will be sanded off at a later stage.  This might not be obvious to new players, but working on bare metal and factory paint in this instance, the factory paint is like a mountain and the bare metal is a huge valley. The bonnet needs to be levelled flat before it receives it's final stage of colour and clear coat. During this levelling process, the primer that is landing on the clear that you are worried about will be removed.  Also, this guy is out of control. Zero PPE while spraying, maybe he is a good example overall about what not to do lol.

      Ok I FINALLY found a video lol. This took way longer than it should have as I could have sworn I saw multiple videos like this. I kept finding the completely opposite (the correct way of doing this). I wouldn't be surprised if I f**ked this up somehow.  I just realised where I've been getting confused and even with other things I work on. I haven't been doing things the regular way instead I'm going a roundabout way of doing things, like putting epoxy primer first then filler for example instead of putting just filler then primer on top of that, then wondering what happens if I get that primer on the clear coat that I haven't sanded yet. This was a bit of an epiphany 馃槀  But anyways, here this video. Time stamp, 2:56, some of the primer lands on the paint unscuffed above. You can see from the reflection it looks shiny.

      It does, this part circled in red. I assume the OEM bolt might not work well with the poly bushing because the dimensions may be different?

      The J arm doesn't have bushes either. Assuming that by "J arm" you mean the part of the upright that runs down from the upper arm's outer bushes to the top of the hub. That has a kingpin style bearing in it. If you meant the lower control arm, it has 1 bush, at its inner end. If you have PU in there, that is superior to Nismo rubber. If you meant the caster/tension rod - it has 1x bush at the front end, and again PU is superior to Nismo rubber. But as I said above, I would definitely get the GKTech arms for that, as sphericals slay all other options there.
