how much has the setup cost u

 

I dont belong in this forum (no turbo and no supercharger) but just wanted to let you know that turbo set up looks Good job.
BTW Nice#s........ Race gas FTW

 

Wow man. Great job!

 

Outstanding #s, especially off of just 8psi. Some folks with the USIM make that much whp with 10psi. That VI is awesome.... GIVE!!!

btw, u never answered my question on what clutch you're running with this.

Enjoy it!!

 

You have 00vi right? If so, is yours working as intended originally or have you pulled the power valve out of it? The reaon I ask is because of the torque #, it seems lower than I would have thought for that power level but who knows, no two people on here have the same setup so they all have their own characteristics. Also are those numbers SAE, standard, or uncorrected?

 

Very nice setup. Mad props. I really love seeing this actually. Your running the exact fuel setup I was planning. Turbo is a monster. Clearly from the numbers its running in a great effeciency range. Gives me lots of ideas. Thanks man.

Actually I do have a question. What are the dimensions on the IC core? I'm not asking for fitment, just to get an idea about boost loss and effeciency.

 

where did you patch in your oil feed from and was it a ***** did you tap it in from the oil filter block or no

 

The clutch is a Clutchnet sprung 6-puck.

As for the 00VI, the valve is still in there working how it should. It was set to open at 4.8k but on the dyno graph, it doesnt seem like it opens anywhere. Ill see if I can figure out if its working or not. I also have swirl valves in the lower intake manifold that I should take out.

The graph is SAE, Uncorrected was about the same and Standard was
366hp/326tq

 

very nice setup man i am impressed.. i have been working on my setup for a whyle now and well i am going to have to change everything very soon.. well like i said very nice.

 

My clutch is gonna be put in sometime this week. we deff gotta go out and get some runs in to compare numbers and setups, great stuff though jeeve. Are you gonna utilize the nitrous?

 

Im gonna hold off on the nitrous for a while. Im gonna keep the setup how it is for a little while and make sure that everything is okay. I want to do a 3" exhaust soon so I dont loose 30+whp becasue of my 2.5". I drove around with the cutout open and its just too loud and attracts too much attention.

 

sweet set-up. if you dont mind sharing how much was all the piping?

 

Don't tell some people on here like secrets.

Nice setup by the way.

 

Nice!! Me likey.

 

You exhaust routing is very similar to what I am planning. Looks nice.

 

Very nice #'s for 8 lbs. When does the EU go on? (I assume you'll up the boost at some point too?)

 

what pipe diameters are you using pre turbo on the exhuast?

I was planning on dual 2'' merging into a 2.5'' to the turbo...

 

If you wanna see if your VI is working. Set the rpm switch to open at idle and drive the car. If it feels much slower in the low end it is working. Or try to open it at 6000rpms and you should feel a "jump" of power.

 

Hmm Interesting.

 

Nice clean install, glad to see you pushing the engineering of the Maxima short block. Keep us updated on how she runs!

 

Those GT Turbo are really efficient with the power output compared to the turbonetics. Not degrading turbonetics at all seeing as I have one sitting in my closet waiting to go in after I get tired of the V1. Now with that 3inch exhaust added can't, I wait to see your numbers.

 

Out of curiousity, where is everyone setting their switchover @? I have mine set at 5k and when it activates, you can definitely feel a extra kick.

 

I have mine 4850-4950. That area

 

I found that very interesting. I asked a while ago about the GT turbos and they're use of both oil and water. Icey explained that the water creates less drag on the shaft than oil and thus creates boost more effeciently.

I agree that with you that Turbonetics doesn't have the same level of rep as Garrett but then again you don't have to screw with all the extra fittings involved with water supply.

 

If you feel a power surge when the VI switches over, you have it set too high. you need to drop it. You should feel no change if you have the switchover set correctly.

 

turbonetics turbos use garrett wheels, it's just that they are using older garrett T series wheels. The new GT wheels in the (surprise) GT series turbos are definately more efficient.

 

I was able to notice the noise difference when the valve opened N/A. With boost its harder to tell if its opening or not. I did JB weld the point that is known to break when the manifold was off for injectors. I will try to raise the switchover to see if I feel a surge in power.

 

Anyone have any ideas for what I can do for a filter for the turbo? Right now, all i have is a net. There is no room at all to put a cone on there and I dont think there is room for a 4" 90deg pipe.
Heres a pic from the first page...

 

How about sandwiching some foam inbetween 2 lengths of that screen/mesh you have on there now? Just oil it up a bit.

 

WOW!!!! That is sexy!!!!

 

not a good idea, i know from experience. you'll need to change the filter element every few hundred miles.


get on K&N's website and start looking in the universal cone filter area. take some measurements of what length, diameter, etc will fit. then choose from there. they ought to have somethign that will work, they have some really really strange shaped filters. mine is 2" tall, 7" diameter at the base, 6.5" diameter at the top, with a 4.0125" diameter flange and a half inch offset to the side. strange size, and it's like it was made perfectly for my turbo location.

 

This is why you need a website dude. You always run cool ish like this.

 

Any idea what the part number is? I have already looked on K&N's site and didnt find anything that will really work. Your's seems like a really good size that will fit, I only found one other size that might work but its smaller then the one you have.

 

Very nice set up and good numbers. Glad your liking the injectors

 

is the polished pipe going to your maf right there actually LOWER than the inlet of your turbo? It's hard to tell from the pic. if it is lower then the one I have might work, if not, then it looks like there is not enough room to get mine in there.

Looks like I was a little bit off on the dimensions of mine, they're listed on the page above, but I was pretty close going from memory



Keep in mind that the filters are somewhat flexible, especially the base and the flange that are made of rubber. so when you are taking your measurements, while you need to keep in mind the length of the flange, it's not a critical measurement since you can mash the flange down to get it in position if necessary. But you'll need to take specific measurements of how much length you have to work with, how much diameter you have to work with both at the top and at the base of the filter, the inlet of your turbo (I am sure that is a standard 4" inlet, my flange is a 4.0125" ID flange and it works perfectly even though it is technically 1mm oversized.)

While this filter doesn't have a ton of surface area, it has quite a bit more than a piece of gauze sandwiched between two layers of screen like I was running before. It flows alot better than the gauze too, and will not require removal and replacement every few hundred miles (no exaggeration).

Here's my experience with the gauze. I was sandwiching two layers of medical cotton gauze (purchased at the grocery store) between two pieces of window screen. Cotton gauze is what K&N uses for their filter elements, but they of course use more than 2 layers. I sprayed an appropriate amount of K&N filter oil on the gauze then installed it. After a couple hundred miles of driving, the entire gauze would be black from dirt, dust, etc. With the K&N, I've had it on there for about 1000 miles now and there are no appreciable signs of it getting dirty yet. I'd have ruined multiple iterations of my makeshift gauze filter in those 1000 miles.

With two layers of gauze and my boost controller turned off a 1/4 mile run would have me seeing .64 bar of boost. After replacing the gauze with the K&N I see .72 bar at the end of a 1/4 mile run with the boost controller off.

 

By the way, K&N can make custom filters, I talked to one of their engineers about it, but basically all they will "customize" is the length of the filter. so if you find a filter that has a good diameter for you, they can make a custom length. I don't know how much it costs though. My off the shelf universal filter was $50.

 

Thanks neal! That is the smaller filter I was talking about. Im probably going to go with that. The pipe is actually above but it is partially in the way still. That filter should fit fine because, as you said it can be smushed to fit.

 

hi I would like to know where did get your turbo manifold please i need same help to put together my car

 

try reading the thread then... he said earlier where he got his fab work done...

 

Thanks Mike. I didnt you you sold your I30, congrats on the G35. Any plans for it?
