Hey I just wanted to start a forum to show my progress and maybe ask a few questions on the way.

Im at school right now but am slowely starting to order parts. And plan on working on it once in awile when I come home on weekends and breaks.

Im making a kit based on the one made by Speed Force Racing. Im going to have a shop fabricate the exhust that runs to and from turbo.

I plan on running 5psi since the Pretuned computer they sell is tune for only 5psi and if I did anymore I would need to do fuel timing. And they said my auto trans would be fine for 5psi. I did have aftermarket clutch packs put in along with new torque converter and a Shift kit.

And with 5psi the tuning computer only requires 440cc injector and doesn't need a new fuel pump.

My progress so far is just ordering parts
1.T3/T4 Turbo
2. wastegate flange adaptor
3. 5 bolt outlet flange

I got these so I can start to mesure for the piping or for the shop that is going to do it.

If you have any suggestions or advise please let me know. I will hopefully put pics up. Prob in 2 weeks or so.

 

this will be a good look, my boy did a 6 spd swap on his i35 2 yrs now, their great lookin cars and im mad the stopped makin dem

 

What turbo did you buy though? And what size ic do you want to go with

 

i have an i30, but always intersted in reading about infiniti-specific projects, good luck

 

Thanks guys, as for the intercooler size Im not sure what will fit and won't be a complete ***** to put in. And as for the turbo its an off brand T3/t4 hybrid with the compressor map Compressor .49 A.R. Compressor .50 Trim and Turbine .63 A.R.. Im only doing 5psi so I want it to spool up around 2-2500 rpm so I went a little smaller

 

5psi on a 3.5 with that size turbo. Youll have quick spool. But how much power are you expecting at 5psi? Its not gonna be much. And is there a reason you went an off brand turbo

 

with the right feedpipe you could have went with a normal size turbo and it would have still spooled around 2500rpms

**** I know someone selling a kit that started to spool at 1500 on a 3.0 with a hx35

 

yea his post is right above yours

 

I think spooling deband on the size of the turbine . the bigger the turbine the leter spooling . am I wrong ?

 

^^^^ nah thats not true its not about the size of the turbine.. and tp696968 lol.. im not gonna sell my kit anymore. nobody said anything on my thread so im keeping it. and if they ask ill say its sold haha.. might as well keep my quick spool. the car isnt worth much anyway so no matter what ill be taking a loss if i sell

 

Good luck with your build. Don`t know why you want to stop at 5 psi thou. And yea dont go with such a small turbo.

 

Really post a link to the thread

 

im not posting jean talked me into keeping it lol

 

Im just starting at 5psi for now ill most likely go higher In future. and as for the small turbo. Doesn't the Speed foce racing kit have a t3/t4? What size you think would work good? This is my first turbo build. I know and understand most of this stuff except the tuning and turbo size stuff. And also I went with 5psi because the pretuned computer is tuned for it. I don't want to spend another grand on fuel and extra tuning. I just want a realiable addition of power. Im looking at somewhere around 300 to the wheels. Im at 240 to the wheels right now with headers exhaust etc.

Any help is greatly appriciated. Thanks

 

Good luck with the turbo project. Always wanted to see someone boost an i35, as i don't recall hearing about anyone doing so.

 

And definitely in for pics!

 

T3/t4 isnt a specific turbo size. If your making a kit you find the turbo then buy the flange. As for starting turbo size look at the specs of a garrett gt35 and find something around that size.you have a 3.5 so you don't want something too small that will die off at high rpm's

 

imho, if you don't want to spent money later on, just install the turbo kit and get a walbro 255, 380cc injectors, wb02 and a safc2. You'll be fine till around 8psi and won't have to worry about sending that box thing back for a retune an d sending more money

 

I was going to get 440cc injectors. and the safc will be fine for 8psi. and the stock engine will be okay? and btw I have an auto trans with new clutch packs, torque converter and a shift kit.. thats what im worried about at 8psi

 

for 300whp you wont need 440's but if you want to get those thats fine i guess.

 

So could I stay with stock injectors with 5psi? or would i still need to upgrade?

 

No, you can use stock injectors till you get 380 or 440's but not as a perment setup

 

Okay ill prob just go with the 440cc. Any other things Im missing and again would the stock engine hold together at 5psi?

 

I have my car set at 6.5 low boost and 10 psi on high boost its been like that for just over 2 years, with no problems. Now I run the car on low boost unless I go to the track or something like that. lol Another thing to keep in mind is the exhaust. If it were me, 3" all the way out the tail. Dont cheat yourself, the only way you can get air into the motor, is if you can get rid of the air too (simply put).

 

Remember turbo sizes vary so 5psi on a gt40 would be completely different from 5psi on a gt30. You need to figure out what turbo you are going to use first then go from there. But yes, your motor should be fine on 5psi.

 

What size of intercooler would be efficient for 5psi?

 

I would not build a setup based on only making 5psi since you're already planning to go higher.

If your going to stick with a stock motor I would start gathering parts that will handle atleast 350-400hp this way to leave yourself room to grow without having to change and upgrade everything

as for the intercool size, search you have to figure out if you want to keep, cut or remove your bumper support. This alone will determine what sizes you can use

 

I was looking at one thats 29" long and what CFM would be sufficient? 500CFM? let say for 8-10 psi so if i upgrade

 

Cfm? Post the link of the ic your lookin at.. 29 is long but how tall and thick (talking about the intercooler).. And I dont know you but you BETTER stop wo
with this 8psi upgrade nonsense lmao.. starting from 5 and moving upto 8 is not a huge difference

 

Okay here is the one i was looking at

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mishi...Q5fAccessories

 

Intercoolers I would recomend
http://www.treadstoneperformance.com...A+Intercoolers

 

^^^^ those intercoolers will most likely not work. they are all 3.5 inches thick.. And op, i didnt see the specs on that mishimoto.. I got my IC from www.cxracing.com check it out.. But honestly you should be looking for a turbo first. you cant really turbo a car without the most important part so i say look for that first then you can figure out which IC you want

 

Their intercooler has been working on both of my vehicles. shrug...

 

well im speaking from 4thgen experience and 3.5 inches would be a very tight fit but hey if you say it works then ok i guess. But regardless he doesnt need anything that thick for the power he wants to make.

 

Mr Expert all of a sudden

 

Ey ey.. you know how much reading I did before I decided to go turbo!!! So shut your mouth. I know enough about it. And 3.5 inches is not necessary for 300 whp.

 

Maybe he's going to get one that's only like 6inches tall

 

So what size would fit nicely and isn't a ***** to install? I was looking at a http://www.treadstoneperformance.com...R6+Intercooler but one of you said 3.5 inches is hard to fit. what about 2.5 or is that not enough flow?

 

Details??? Pics??

Good luck OP.

 

I think if you get somthing around 5-7inch tall and 2.5-3inches thick you should be able to install it without cutting your bumper support and not too much of your bumper

My intercooler is 28x12x2.5 but I completely removed my bumper support to install it.

FYI, there is a thread called "show me those front mounts" search for it. Alot of people posted their setups and intercooler sizes
