As Kyle from 6boost said, it was the only way to get a decent design. Worth it if the gains will be what I expect. Only way to get ahead of the pack is to go outside the norm..just gotta make the right selections ;)

Matt

Engine is in. Rear turbo inlet pipe fouls on the Strut tower.. I gather the manifold sits the turbo's in a slightly different position to std. More custom work required.

The Gearbox was also insanely hard to get in with the rear head drain...was hard enough with the Rb30 and sump adaptor which stops the motor tilting down as much. Its a pry bar job now.

If there are gains to be had... I'd be keen.

Saying that... by the time we'd buggered about with buying/fitting the manifolds, modding the intake pipe work, modding the oil and water lines, 'adjusting' the dump pipes/down pipes etc...

... aren't there a pair of top mount, external gate turbos to fitt- they may result in better performance??? for no other reason than there is not as much comprimise for fittment or wastegate size???

I don't know? I guess I'm asking the question- hmm.

What ever the answer, I like what BoostdR is doing- I can't wait to see the results!

Cheers

PS. BoostdR- Do you get much low end comp surge? If so, I'd love to know if these manifolds help illiminate it..

I did have compressor surge before....only when boosting in a low rpm high gear. I feel the pipe kit will help this as I was still using the twin turbo pipe.

There are also alot of variation that could effect my rear turbo inlet pipe position.

Rb30 sits the head higher

Engine mounts position in the slots

Cast alloy hard pipe accuracy.

So if the manifolds are out a smidge and you used the standard rubber inlet pipes you wouldn't have and issue. Just very hard as the rear turbo outlet stops you doing that.

More findings today I'm sure.

Front pipes fitted up ok. I have modified the alloy hard pipe rear turbo inlet. There is about 5mm space from the front turbo wastegate and 10mm-15 to the strut tower. I also had to grind the upper suspension bolt for clearance as it protrudes into the engine bay by about 15mm near where the power steering resevoir is mounted. This has to be moved also.

looking forward to startup tomorrow.

Matt

Thanks for the kind words =)

I had to finish a 32GTR I had here today...took longer than expected so I have no updates for you.

I will get a some more pics. Makes more sense than my ramblings!

Matt

First start up, a few things stil to be finished

Sounds very sexual, quite different to before

Oil pressure was exactly what I was aiming for, 6bar(max). 1.1mm restrictor, std springs in reinmax pump

Seat of the pants results

Makes 1bar by about the same rpm, having said that it is noticeably more responsive from 1000-4000rpm. It makes 1bar just after 4000rpm however goes from 1bar to full boost in a few hundred rpm savagely. The motor also wants to rev, where as previously it would trail off around 8000rpm.

I had to drop the boost to 1.4bar as it's maxing out my 1000cc injectors. Will get some 2000cc for the dyno

The hard pipe kit has helped compressor surge, it still surges however is alot less and happily revs through.

Matt

Nice! Sound much different revving out?? So when are the new injectors and tune coming, and what boost are you going to run it to? Time for a new low mount 1/4 mile world record? ;)

I does sound quite different, louder and throatier. Injectors and tune won't be to far away. I just have to sort out some small issues, like why my Y intercooler pipe keeps blowing off and mounting my catch can... maybe also rotating the rear turbo outleft away from the front manifold.

No chance of a 1/4 mile run in Adelaide...we don't have a track :-/

    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
