thanks for the info, ill let my mechanic knows ahead of time, not that he dont,

 

Not that you need to it just makes things easier. My turbo sets right where my battery was.

 

Good God! I could look at these FI setups all day long. Nice work indeed.

 

absoundlab, are you making the west palm beach meet on march 16th? Be nice to see that baby. Good job if its done by then and what you've done so far

 

I may be there along with a couple other boosted people

 

I didnt know about the meet pm me more info

 

its on SFMG homie, take a peek, lol

 

all the intercooler piping is finally finished. all the piping is 2.5" and right after the maf is 3" going to the throttle body. greddy type rs blow off valve and 300zx maf

(please note these are just quick pictures I took, I know the t bolt clamps aren't on and the blow off valve flange isn't welded on yet.

 

Comming along man. NIce.

 

Damn.... Looking good....

 

lookin schweet

 

I thought the Z32 maf didn't work with 5th gens? Also, it doesn't look like the maf adapter is metal, you should def get one.

 

I was actually checking your thread on tamparacing, i have seen your car around the area. good progress with the turbo build up. lookin good

 

Definitely. Plastic is no good for a boosted application (hell, I use metal on my NA car). I've heard too many horror stories.

 

what happens to the plastic, does it warp?

 

it melts

heat is the enemy of all turbo builds

nice job so far

 

the maf housing and other various elements are plastic, how come they dont melt?

 

The are a different grade of plastic, you can't honestly think a plastic maf adapter is gonna be higher quality plastic than OEM.

 

Aint that the truth.

did u buy the wrong size t bolts for some there?

 

no they aren't installed in the picture

 

yea i see that i just figured maybe you threw em on there for the pictures or w/e but then i noticed the compressor outlet one looks like it wont close enough to be able to get the nut on, no biggie. Good work btw looking like its going to be a great setup!

 

 

looks nice...i like the set up!!

 

Like I said, the maf likely won't work


5th gens+ are much better off using a bigger maf housing.

 

I still need help finding a write up on how to install a 300zx maf on a 5th gen

 

hot. good luck!

 

It doesn't work from what I have read and seen, even with the EU...

Is the closest I found? Search is weird, it shows the same threads multiple times haha

If I find the thread that has it test I will post it

 

o rly? Then what do the higher-HP 5th gen guys do? I know there aren't many of them, but there have been some.

 

On their cars they can simply go to a bigger maf housing using the same sensor. Land Rover maf housing seems to be the ticket, or somehow find a custom piece of metal tubing a little bit over 3 inches in diameter, not anything near 3.5 cause I heard there would be air reading problems.

 

5th gen MAF's are very fragile though :/

 

I finally got the exhaust piping made

greddy tial wastegate (I know the oil drain hose is kinked)

 

 

bahahahaha!!! weeeeeeeeeeeerd!!!!!!

SFLMaximas doing it big in 08!

 

that looks F'in GREAT! Awesome work man!!!

 

Just went through the entire thread and I LOVEEEE it.

Can't wait to see the dyno numbers!

 

im going to be running 4 systems now :

boost nitrous meth and co2

 

Turbo looks exactly like the one I received in the mail today for my 240sx...nice.

After looking at your pictures, I've been reminded of all of my engine bay room...I respect you guys for cramming so damn much in there!

 

Awesome dude. A recommendation though, get wing nuts for the cutout, make it ALOT easier to remove. also if thats a summit racing cutout, dont use the paper gasket crap, it dosnt work, instead on the plate make a cooper silicone gasket, thats wat iv done.
