So I got under the car and I'll going with a 3inch dp into 3inch oval under the tranny into a 3inch exhaust no cat, cutout or resonator, muffler only. I will flange the exhaust so I can drop everything between the downpipe and axle back for the track

btw my ecu was shipped out today by jwt, now I just need to do a anti snow dance so I can finish the piping

 

Sweet Tom.. All these turboed maxima's in Philly now .....


Just a crazy idea Jeeve had a idea of rerouting downpipe out the fender for the track and all. Sorta adding the cutout where the fender is. Pretty cool idea

 

bump for update feedpipe pic's. The weather was good today so I finished the feedpipe and will start on the downpipe tomorrow. I gave up on the under the battery idea, the pipe with have been longer and with more bends to make it fit and the piping for the downpipe would have been very tight. Also the wastegate would have been tight and close to the ground.

The second half of this piping is less than 15inches long. I am going to do the waste last since I plan to run the exhaust back into the downpipe.

Pic's are all on the 1st page

 

lookin good bro...u should be done soon if the weather holds up

 

Bump for 3inch downpipe pic's, I'll order a wastegate flange this week and run it into the downpipe. The I'm not going with the oval piping and will just tuck the piping very tight against the tranny.

Also I routed the downpipe so I can still access the tranny fill plug without removing it and highly suggest making your feed in two parts and making a connector pipe into your catback. With this pipe I have zero down time and still drive the car daily

 

Sexy

 

you and weelman always building something

 

^^Maximas>Sc300s

 

in ya dreams patna...im on my grown man thing now, maxima says "im a little boy racer who has space to get the groceries"

 

mk3 Supra> Sc300 & 400s

 

ordered a sleathmode oil tee and weather pending will install the wastegate this weekend and route it into the downpipe. Then it's time to spray and heat wrap

 

i just got another pack of heat wrap too

 

look at you clogging the man's thread with BS comparo, thats why ur neighbor gonna throw a 5 day old cheesesteak at ya @ss when you drive by

 

I'm really curious to see at what rpm you reach full boost.. What's your ball park estimate?

 

lmao

 

I would have to guess around 3500 in fourth gear, I was told be a org member that has a 3.0 with a T70 turbo with a .68 exhaust that he hit about 5-6psi at around 4-42k and his setup is pretty similar to mine.

I am guessing with me having a 3.5 and smaller turbo I should spool faster than him

 

You might even see it spool sooner than that. Usually an extra .5L will spool the same turbo around 800rpms sooner. Seeing as you have a smaller turbo, you might be closer to 3000 than 3500.

 

spray always solves problems with turbo's spooling faster

 

turbo lag shouldn't be a problem plus I sold my nitrous kit last month

 

Random question, whats the actual size of the turbine's outlet?

 

t4 flange, 3inch exhaust, 2.5 discharge, 4inch inlet

updated the price list of what I spent for the feed, down and connector pipe. havn't started on the 3inch exhaust yet

 

What size downpipe did u use again? 3"?

 

3inch

 

well it's snowing again so if I can get my hands on a extra oil pan I'll install the oil drain and start on another feedpipe for a local org member

this is really getting old, thought the groundhog didn't see his shadow

 

ok I have been searching online for a 3inch hks bov adapter pipe with flange already attached but can only find a 2.5

anyone know where I can one

also I have another question does it really matter if the bov goes before or after the intercooler. before answering remember my maf is post turbo

 

It depends how loud you want it to vent, it will be quieter the farther away it is from the turbo, so after the intercooler will be quieter. If want to make sure they know who is boss then right after the turbo.

 

 

lol, I am thinking about right after the intercooler still behind the bumper, next the foglight opening

 

welded on a tranny on feedpipe bracket to help support the turbo, tapped the oil pan and ordered a wg flanges

hopefully the car will be under turbo power this weekend

 

**** thats what i forgot i had to do... can you take a pic whenever you get a chance? I never got a bracket made to support the turbo...

 

nice Tom cant wait......

 

best of luck bro, cant wait to see another maxima up and running with this equipment.

btw, you left internals stock right?

will you be revving it north of 7k?

 

Yes, motor is bone stock. I do have a 7200rpm rev limit and will most likely never use it. I had a 7200rpm rev limit when n/a and the car fell flat on it's face after 6800, I had jwt retain this feature cause it should be a good selling point when I am ready to sell it.

 

Yeah cuz on a stock block, its really risky pushing it passed 7k when FI.

 

Subscribed to this thread! Awesome looking build

 

pic added to the 1st page, I'll take a pic with it installed this weekend. To give you a idea it uses the 17mm tranny to bellhousing bolt near the crank sensor

 

thanks, nice looking ride

 

If I do another 3.5, I'll use rod bolts, revup oil pump and cams then rev it out to 7200 just to see what happens on the dyno but for the street 6800

 

Bump new pics on the 1st page

Ok so the turbo piping is all done and installed. Got the wastegate this week and notched a piping and welded the flange on and made a open dump pipe.

I tee'd the sender and tapped a drain fitting for the oil pan and will run the oil feed and return line tomorrow. Now if my intercooler and piping get here which I though would be today I test everything and start searching for some injectors

 

Mmmm
