how the HELL did I miss this thread?

I have a few questions about the build.

What did you make your flapper out of?

Is your turbo a divided t4 flange?

I'm trying to do this setup for my divided T4 flange manifold on my 1jz SC300.

 

Yes my turbo is a divided, if it wasn't this would be completely useless. The flapper is made of High temp stainless from mcmastercarr. The body is made of 1/8 stainless. this spring will tell how well it works.

 

Theoretically, if I sent you my manifold, would you be able to do this for me?

And how much would you charge?

I would do all of this myself, but I've welded once in my life, and don't have the tools or skills to replicate what you've done there.

 

PM me some pics of it all and ill see if there is anything i can do.

props to you dude...i wish i had that knowhow to do this, itd give me a whole new love for my maxima.

hope you one day sell a setup like this for us all! ill definitely be in line for it =p

 

I know this is a old thread but just curious, If you ever got the bugs worked out and got to track/dyno

 

yea i got the bugs worked out this past summer. Never got to the dyno or drag strip. Did quite a bit of time on the road course however. About midway through the summer after deeming the current motor "tired". I decided to change the motor and Redo alot of the setup. Mainly this involved an entirely new intake manifold. I dunno why i never posted about it then but maybe i will now. It is by far one of the best changes i ever made to the setup. Long/Large/symmetrical runners, Full symmetrical velocity stacks, and a pretty big plenum. The Whole power band improved vastly. A much better design that the Box i had bolted on for the past few years.

 

Here's some of the pictures i can find at the moment. Ill try and get some finished ones up soon.

 

SICK

 

Damn this is impressive. Are you some sort of engineer?

 

thanks.... lol Self proclaimed.. im a couple of years into an engineering degree.

Heres another pic i found

 

I need some new tools

 

I havn't updated my thread forever either. Finally got moved to new shop today and got car in read to finish a few things. Hopefully actually get to pull it out and test out this setup this spring. Ive been thinking about building sheet metal intake plenum but for now I need some larger injectors.

 

any update?? im curious to see what happened?

 

well... what happened is... i drove it. Alot.. just got back from taking it to Virgina international speedway (VIR), Hilton head island south Carolina, and all around Florida. Didn't miss a beat, didnt even have to add oil in almost 4000 miles. I finally feel i have achieved what i wanted, a 350-400hp maxima that still has cruise, a/c, power steering, etc That can more than hold its own around a road course, is a pleasure to drive on a 4000 mile road trip, and.. most of all.. is Totally reliable.

Thats what happend

 

damn!! im down in south east GA... i wish i knew, i'd love to see ur setup and maybe take some advise from you
well can you post some pics of ur finished intake manifold, im interested. maybe a movie or two to see what it sounds like

 

ha.. yea, we drove right through there after leaving Hilton head. O well, next time. There a video of me on The road course, thats the only one i can think of right now. ill see if i can find some more pics

rjd2-ghostwriter!!!! I listened to that song for months non stop long ago! good pick

 

haha yea, i told my buddy once that i thought a slower song played with road course footage would be neat.. and then he made that video, I guess it does kind of fits.

 

 

is that a det tb

 

The manifold is sick.

 

That is a stock twin throttle body from the vg30e maxima.

 

Maximas did not come twin turbo neither did the vg30e

 

The maxima did not come with turbos. They were naturally aspirated.

 

so the question stands is that a det manifold tb, cause the twin turbo 300zx had two tbs

 

VG30 3rd gens have a twin TB. I see them at the junkyard all the time. It's a 1 piece assembly with 2 throttle plates.

The 300zx/j30 have 2 completely seperate TBs that feed each bank independantly.

 

^ thanks ^

 

Lol read that wrong. I thought he was saying twin turbo throttle bodie. Might of been a little drunk when posted. I am working on making a collector like that for my setup. The current one is to restrictive for what I am running.

 

what size IC piping are you running?

 

2.5 inch

 

im thinking on going to 3", any down falls you think?

 

not really any downfalls other than fitment and price... necessary... well thats another thing.

 

this thread rocks.....

and maximas did come turbo... in the good ol days LOL!
