Started fabbing the hot parts today for our VQ swapped/turbocharged B15 Sentra.. This piece puts the outlet from the engine, right under the starter, facing towards the driver's side.. From there, a V-band flange will be attached, and then a 90* bend will follow, going into the bottom of the turbo. The downpipe will run right above it, and between the y-pipe/block, under the oil pan, and out towards the back. Tight squeeze.. but, it will fit. We are completely redesigning the front/rear engine mounts, and eliminating the engine cross member.




The merge collector came out pretty nice..

 

looks good keep up the good work man

 

yes yes yes

 

Looking good. I always appreciate hearing about the projects you're involved with, you really seem like you know what you're doing.

 

Details on the mounts? Looks great so far.

 

I am building a tubular (boxed) style rear mount, which will attach to the factory K-member at 3 different points. The side mounts will be solid schedule 80 box tubing/3/16" plate. The engine will NOT move in the chassis.

 

Maybe I'll get around to finishing Frosty's car soon.. That's the one that you guys will be tweaking out about.. I think we're going to bust a few records for the FWD VQ. It's been slow-going on his car.. simply because I can't dedicate 2 months to the car all together, which is about what it would take to finish it. So, I work on it in bits/pieces..but, when it's done, it will be one nasty Max..

 

It would be nice if you could get it done sometime before the end of this year's track season

 

Nice job, can't wait to see some more pics of the progress!
